Credit Card Offers ANZ Frequent Flyer Black: 130,000 Qantas Points + $200 back

[MelbFlyer]

Nice

Mine is the Platinum one so I don't get the 2 invitations, but I do also have a Qantas Premier Platinum card which does come with 2 invitations by default per membership year (don't need to apply for them).

Haven’t seen this posted on these forums, only on Ozbargain etc. Existing ANZ customers via an online login can get 160,000 QFF points (after $3000 spend) and $225 back on annual fee. Just applied and approved, easy process. If not an existing customer, open a savings account to get access to the offer!

I wonder if this is still a thing? Assume the promo has finished now?

Yes, it’s 100k and $250 back in Year 1, plus extra 30k if you stick around for Year 2. I am still rotating the Frequent Flyer black and Rewards black every 12-18 months .

I've just cancelled my ANZ Qantas FF Platinum card last month after getting my bonus points - I'm assuming that I'll be eligible for the ANZ Rewards card (ie. not QFF, but ANZs own rewards points program)?

The wording here implies that I'll be fine (I haven't had an ANZ Rewards card, only the QFF one) :



When visiting the ANZ QFF cards page, it specifically states "ANZ Frequent Flyer Black, ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum or an ANZ Frequent Flyer credit card" regarding the blackout period.

Difference being the words "Frequent Flyer" and "Rewards" in each respective page.

If that's the case and I'll be eligible for Rewards points, I'll sign up in April / May as I've got my car insurance coming up that month and that's an easy 1/3 - 1/2 of the minimum spend requirement. Also looking to branch out and re-earn VFF points to diversify my points.

Also, I assume that the ANZ Rewards Points : VFF Points ratio is 2:1 with the below calculations:

Yes to all your ?’s

i don’t have many years missed on mine and +1’s credit file .

The Rewards card is great at 1 point per $ spent for VFF

You just have to plan your overseas travel around card cancellations, so you don’t miss out on coverage (if your travelling)

Thanks guys, this might be my new CC in April/May (I've cancelled 3 cards within 3 months so hence taking a little break, even despite my credit score going up after cancellation).

I've got an existing Qantas Premier Platinum (from Qantas) and all my travel is put on that card instead so I'll have Travel Insurance from that card.

I do want to diversify my points to VFF as well, not just QFF hence the thought of applying for Velocity or Rewards cards. I guess with rewards cards I'm not just limited to VFF, but also KF and AM (CX) etc.

I've got 5 figures of QFF points but only 4 for both VFF and AM. Guess it's good to diversify for more options.

For new or existing customers I think, yes. But not the 160k points promo for existing bank account holders?

the 160k is now 100k for new customers.

Existing customers holding the same type of card will never get bonus points.

The deal when it ran was for customers of ANZ who did not hold an ANZ FF credit card.

I'll be going into the branch on Saturday to lodge an application for the FF Black, has anyone found an in person branch application to be more successful?

You won't be able to do that

One of their Australia based call centre people told me over the phone I could...

Though...looking at the website it says I'll need to apply online, get an application number and then can bring my documents into branch. If someone in the branch is looking at the documents (rather than just sending them off to the same place) that would still be better!

Not at all. Branches don't look at the documents or assess the application. They will forward them on though.

You are much better uploading or emailing as part of the online application process.

The Branch will most likely look at nothing (i.e., certainly not processing/assessing the application, as such) and just post-office what is submitted to them. This could probably slow things down a bit, using hard copies. May suit those who are not computer savvy or who are unable to upload documents.

Please let us know how you go at the Branch

I'm going to call up tomorrow first and try and speak to someone else. If they give me different advice then I'll just apply online...

You won't get the bonus points! It's an online only offer.

Sorry I meant submit documents online!

I uploaded payslips almost immediately after receiving the first email about this, as per the usual procedure. Have since received a few similar emails, but nothing to suggest that my card is in the mail.

Then today got a phone call from ANZ. They were asking for my payslips. I wonder if they hadn't seen the first ones that I uploaded, or perhaps they're getting a little more nosey about their clients.

For an additional data point:

I applied late Monday night and had that same email. Had an email Tuesday afteroon asking for payslips and then was approved on Wednesday afternoon.
