These are worth stressing:

'Remember, you need to apply via the links on this page to be eligible for this offer.'

and

'You will be charged the full annual fee with the first statement and then refunded 100% of the fee as a statement credit within 90 days of activating your credit card.'

That means you're going to have to keep the card for a minimum of three months, even if the points dropped earlier.

 

[Dr Ralph]

Sounds like a good deal. The no fee for the first year makes a good change from recent offerings from Bankwest and St George. And it's good to see the Cth stop offering the vouchers that they've been offering in the past and offer something that people want - IE Qantas points!


I've got too many cards right now to consider making an offer. But intend to cancel a few as soon as the points for each (St George & Bankwest) appear in my account. Then I'll be up for the Cth offering.

it wasn't a criticism of your post - just something that people should be aware of. The annual fee thing is unusual from my experience in chasing these types of points offerings.

I understood. I just agreed with your post and thought they should be highlighted

My wife currently has one of these. Any chance she can cancel her current one and reapply?

 

[scheps]

this is only good for the bonus correct? ongoing ratio would be suboptimal?

Cant see why not. Probably a good idea to cancel and wait a month before applying for the new one.

 

[Dr Ralph]

Agreed. Several other cards have superior earn rates.

Any ideas if she'll get the bonus ?

Does anyone know what the minimum income requirement is.

 

[Jordan613]

Does anyone have an inkling of what 'limited time' means for the promotion?

I've just done a round of applications and I assume my credit score (note to mention >$50k limits) wouldn't get me over the line with this one.

The date the offer ends is specified on the page of the offer isn't it?

Looks Like a good one for Mrs Ansett and I to take advantage of.

If one has a Wealth Package with the CBA, the Diamond awards Card is now included as a card with no Annual Fee.
( Previously as of late last year the wealth package did not include the Diamond awards card).
Also worth noting the Diamond Awards card with the CBA gains access to the SYD Amex lounge.

The points earn on the Diamond awards card is of course greater than the platinum card on both Amex & MasterCard.

Whoops, missed that it was by 3 July when I skimmed it first.

But you pay for the wealth package. This is fee free for the first year.

True the wealth package has an annual fee.

However as the wealth package gives you a choice of credit card with no annual fee, discounts of home & car insurance, plus a serious .05 to .07 reduction on one's interest rate for a mortgage, I find the CBA's wealth package outstanding value.

like all bundles available from the various banks YMMV.
