I wonder if one can back claim? I purchased one 4-5 weeks ago that would have netted me 75,000 points

Geeze, I've still got my 'Westpac Holden' cc that I opened about 16 years ago. These days it's rebranded 'Ignite' and is fee free (benefit free too, I should add, mine currently has a $5 credit balance and is just a waste of space). For the time it was Holden-branded, you could earn up to 3,000 points which equated to $3K a new Holden. Now I never redeemed, but my understanding was in the very early days some folks did manage to squeeze $3K off a $14K Barina - a very healthy discount. That was on top of the best deal they could get from a dealer. But I believe Holden wised-up pretty quick, and brought back the sliding scale. Now they are in bed with VA. Well, sorry, I'm not buying a Holden that's for sure.
