Commonwealth Platinum Awards - 40k Qantas Points. $10 fee.

[Danger]

Have uploaded my payslips twice now but still getting a 'documents needed message'. There doesn't appear to be any record of my documents already being uploaded to their system.

I phoned CBA about this yesterday. My Netbank account was still saying something like 'What you need to do now' and under that was the two points, one being to upload payslips. So I phoned CBA yesterday and they said my card had actually been sent out last Friday!

Mine is now showing as approved.

Applied on Tuesday, uploaded my latest PAYG summaries straight away, got a hit on my VEDA score today and decision still pending.
I hope I get through with this one as I got rejected on my last 2 (or was it 3???) applications...

A little too eager to play the game it seems

Applied Monday. Received cards today by mail. Good work Cth Bank

I've got more hits than I would like on my VEDA this year. This includes a recent mortgage refinance with UBank who raised a query about the large number of CC applications I had made in 2014/2015. Once I explained they were fine with it and it hasn't had an impact on my recent application for the Cth card which was approved and supplied in record time.

 

[Dr Ralph]

Excellent work!

Indeed, the only similar experience or even better experience I had was with CitiBank. However that card was cancelled by me within a month because of their complete incompetence as I have detailed on this thread:

When I spoke to my broker about the number of CC applications he wasn't bothered at all with them. He didn't think it would affect our chances to get finance approved.
How did you put it to Ubank?

Told them exactly what I was doing and why I was doing it. Bank told me that it was a common occurrence.

And here I thought we were lonely weirdos. :mrgreen:

I think I'm hardly an expert at it.

My goal is 1,000,000 points. Just over half way there from 18 months at it.

 

[Dr Ralph]

I've activated my card and it appears to have been by default enrolled into the standard commonwealth Bank rewards scheme. Do I need to do something to ensure that any points flow to my QFF account or is it automatic?

 

[coles525]

Contact them, otherwise it could all go down the drain.

Have done so. Awaiting a response. I don't intend to use the card until they confirm everything is in place to receive the bonus points.

 

[watermelon]

Haven't got the card yet but I can see I've only been approved for the non-platinum card with a 4000 limit, wonder if they'll still honour the points like they did for the offer earlier in the year for some people...

 

[Dr Ralph]

Have done so. Awaiting a response. I don't intend to use the card until they confirm everything is in place to receive the bonus points.

Still no response, so haven't used the card.

Points received finally

 

[Dr Ralph]

Still no response, so haven't used the card.

I've had a response but it didn't address all of my concerns. They've stated that I'm eligible for the offer. But they haven't explained how QFF points will be transferred to my account.

How does this occur, given at no stage have I ever provided them with my QFF number?

 

[Dr Ralph]

Points received finally

How were they credited? When exactly did you provide Cth Bank with your QFF number?

 

[coles525]

I was required to ring the rewards hotline, say you want qff rewards (not comm bank rewards), agree to the conditions ($10+ membership fee each year), then provide qff number.
