ANZ Platinum, 50k bonus QFF points after $1500 spend, no annual fee first year

[mranwa]

Been checking almost daily, no points. But saw today so many of you guys got posted points, so check my account. Yes ! Finally 50k for the Black. Spent $1500 mid September. However, nothing from the basic which I join a month later but spent $1500 in mid September too.
Partner also applied the Black in September and spent $1500 in mid Oct but not bonus points posted too.

Did anybody get the bonus 50k points for all 3 basic, platinum and black? (I did not apply for the platinum).

So sweep will happen automatically within 3 weeks....how do we know 3 weeks?

It will happen with your next statement.

 

[ashleyn]

Have you had all 3 qualified at $1500 spend for more than 4 months each though?

Yes indeed, ticked all the boxes, one lot of points.

Not going to happen, one lot of points is it.

I think there new promo only strengthens the case if they do not post.

Process for me will be:
Wait for 4 months for each (not there for last 2)
If not posted lodge official complaint
If not posted lodge with FOS. However will advise ANZ first...this approach has worked with others such as RACV (3 times), Optus, Amex and others

Good luck with that, I =sent a letter to ANZ and they claim they never received it.

I too can confirm 50 000 points now in ANZ Black account ready for sweep to QFF. Nothing on standard card as yet.

Must admit that I though I may not get anything as my new Black and Standard credit limits were taken from my existing Platinum. Even though they told me at the time I am eligable, this is ANZ , so was sceptical of getting anything as the fine print did say not eligable if transfered. But still 50 000 has arrived and I am happy, if another 50 000 arrives soon from basic card, even happier. If 50 000 is all I will get, I'm still OK with that as the whole saga has costed absolutly nothing anyway.

No point sending a letter till after the 4 months is up in all cases (Your 4 months may have been up). ie You can only dispute if they have in fact breeched T&C.

Also in my case I always call first. If I get a negative, I then insist on speaking with a supervisor or the complaints department. At that stage I will also insist on them issuing me with a complaint number. It is important to go through the process (and for them to realise that you will go through the process in a rigorous manner) and that they be given the opportunity to act, and to only then raise it as a dispute. If still not satisfactory outcome you then call and advise them that you be lodging a complaint with the relevant body (ie FOS in this case, though on other matters of Insurance or Telecommunications it has been other bodies).

In my case I will wait for 4 months to finish, plus a month as a buffer. It actually works better if they have not responded in time.

Despite the cases I listed above I have also had several other times when bonus points had not posted. In those cases they honour the points after they investigated, and so I never reached the "official" dispute/complaint stage.

However I will not put the cart before the horse, and will not bother contacting them till they are in breech. And if the points post, they may never be.

A number of people have written in this thread that they have been told that they will receive 50K per account.

If I have understood the posts to date correctly, the aggrieved posters with respect to the 50K are those who want their 50K before they are due, with the only basis for that being that some people have received them early, rather than them having any right to have received them already.

I may not be successful. But the T&C wording is currently in my favour in my view.

Here they are. Thanks ANZ

(Sorry about micro-picture!)

Look at your QFF account and see what date ANZ points normally hit your account.

In my case, my wife, daughter and I have all different dates, and I also have different dates for different ANZ cards

Exactly. People should just be happy that ANZ are giving away points for free and on time.

Looking forward to the thread about the cheapest way to get to the ANZ bank to check the points balance!!!

 

[fersea]

no points for me yet, but I didn't apply until early August and then didn't activate the card to early September when I had got home from overseas. Therefore I don't expect to get them for a month or so yet.

 

[Smoetyjim]

I've received 3 statements to date, and am halfway through my 4th (so presumably going through my 4th month). I've spent well over the $1500 on the platinum, but haven't seen the 50k points hit yet. Will it happen after the this current period is over (i.e. issue of 4th statement)? Or should it technically be in there now?

 

[drsmithy]

Just to add some complication, my Black cards were stolen on Tuesday and will consequently need to be reissued.

As of the day before they went, I hadn't got my 50k. Might be a bit of an adventure getting it credited now.

I got my 50k on the day my 4th statement was issued, just a little over 3 months since I spent the $1500.

 

[Smoetyjim]

Hmm, my statement date is the 20th of each month. So we'll see. I guess if it doesnt come through, I should call up yeh?

My 50k has just appeared in the Visa column & I am a couple of days from having my 4th statement being generated, so imagine it will roll across next week. I think I'll keep the cards for the year as the AMEX generates good points, hopefully ANZ may be open to reducing or waiving the yearly fee next year otherwise I will most likely cancel them then.

Yeh, I've previously sought to cancel, and then had fee reduced. Works every year.
