Credit Card Offers Citi Prestige Qantas Card Offers

[Goldenage61]

I applied a week ago and it hasn't moved according to the online portal.

I got my approval the next day.

Mine ended up taking 4 days, they didn't ask for any more info so must have been a backlog of them

Is there a credit score that you guys aim for across equifax/experian and illion before you apply for this card? I know it's a veryyyyyyyyy broad question - just wondering if i should wait a bit longer for my credit score to increase or just go for it?

Don’t worry about your score. Just reduce your open credit limit as much as you can and make sure those cards are showing as closed with the credit agencies.

Applied Sunday, asked for more docs on Monday, approved Tuesday.

Is there any detail on what "Retail Purchases" count towards the minimum spend? Is it simply all purchases excluding the ones listed (PayAll, cash advances, interest, etc.), so government spending and Sniip would be eligible?

The offer on this card is now 125,000 Qantas points (down from 150K).

with $10,000 spend over 3 months now compared to $7,500 spend over 2months!!!
IMO Still worth a consideration @$0.006 per 1 Q Pt for 125,000 q Pts

Despite the 'enhancement', I'm still tempted to churn this in March next year to pay off a cruise (assuming NAB hasn't gutted it further).

Can you hold both this and a (Citi Rewards, non-Qantas) FFFL Premier card at the same time and get the bonus points?

My reading of "this offer is not available when closing or transferring from another Citi branded credit card account or in conjunction with any other Citi branded credit card offer" is that, provided you set the new card up from scratch rather than change an existing product to Prestige you can be 'double parked' with a standard Citi card, but I would appreciate any experiences others have had.

Any recent data points on how long for the bonus points to be awarded?

The potential points earned on this card is too vague.

For instance it says you get 1.5 Qantas points per $1 "made directly with major: airlines, hotel chains and restaurants in Australia". What is a major restaurant? Does Macdonalds fall under this category, my cafe down the street, or does it only apply to fancy restaurants? Because if it is not a "major restaurant" then it falls under the 0.5 Qantas poitns per $1 spent which is a major difference.

Similarly, it is 1 Qantas point per $1 "made directly with major: supermarkets, petrol outlets and national retailers". What is a major supermarket? Woolworths yes but is my franchised IGA? What is a major petrol outlet? Again if it is not "Major", it only owns 0.5 Qantas points per $1

Hi All, is there a minimum time frame you have to keep the citi bank credit card before you cancel ? I had my Qantas frequent flyer points credited to my account. I just don’t want yo lose the points. I know I will not get the bonus points for keeping the card less than 12 months.
I think I saw one of the other cards you had to have for at least 6 months.

Agreed - I've got a Prestige card and have always been skeptical about what I'm earning points on and how many on each transaction. There appears no way to see how many points you earn on any particular transaction via a statement or online....so there doesn't seem to be a viable way to actually confirm what earns what....

Its one of the few things I miss about AMEX.
