Credit Card Offers St.George Amplify Signature: 150,000 bonus Amplify Points (expires 30/4/25)

[amaroo]

I ended up going with ANZ / QFF as the P1 team sorts out any availability issues. Also struck a decent money man at the dealership - no CC fee charged

Just checking as got this card and last my comments in March.....Bonus points have to be requested out into Velocity account right?
How many do I get 50K?

Amplify points halve as they transfer to Velocity or Kris so if you have 100 000 Amplify points you would have 50,000 Velocity points. Do make sure you put those points into an account where you are planning to do a booking as you lose so much doing a second transfer from say Velocity to say Kris Miles. I think you divide your 50,000 by 1.55 if you do a second move.

I got the Amplify card a few months ago and can confirm that the 100,000 bonus points was credited once I had spent $12,000. So I haven't had to wait the 12 months. And it looks like only actual purchases counted.

Yes Jessica Tam this card is a winner and your sign up was better than when we started a couple of years ago.

My experience concurs with this. Have been sidetracked with the ANZ bonus offer since getting this card. Have only pushed a few Canberra purchases through and I'm yet to receive the bonus points. The amount I've transacted via this one merchant exceeds the spend threshold by an extra 0.

Now the ANZ offer has expired the Amplify will be getting my full attention.

Hi there, just a question regarding Amplify Points vs the Qantas points option with St George. I am assuming (due to the popularity of this offer) that the amplify points can be converted to airline points fairly easily and at a good rate? I am eligible for one of these cards with my homeloan and just trying to decide which option to go for... Thanks for any advice.

I'd suggest you have a read of the original offer as indicated here via point hacks:

150,000 Amplify Rewards Points (can get you up to $675 in eGift cards) plus a reduced first-year annual fee with the St.George Amplify Rewards Signature Credit Card

Guide to earning rewards, bonus points & much more on the St.George Amplify Signature Visa Amplify Rewards credit card.

Transfer rate isn't great (although on par with most current offerings) and you are limited in the airlines you can transfer to.

Now after having this card for 8-9 months I requested a limit increase.

They want closure letters on my previous cards which I only closed this month and pay slips..jeez

I haven’t bothered changing our modest credit card limits. I can BPay $100,000 every couple of minutes into our cards but these payments take a day longer than expected to arrive from Westpac to St George.
I don’t have a pay slip so that keeps our payroll tax bill just a bit less.

Edited: It is still $12k spend.

JT and others how long between min spend and 100k posting?

I think it was within a month.

This thread reminds me that I need to get another family member into this credit card.

Got the School fee letter for 2020 today - how to crack the bonus threshold in one transaction.

They told me today I had to wait 90 days for bonus points to post.

That's normal with St George.

Looks like you can add EBP along with Canberra as not counting towards the bonus. Still pays points though

These type of transactions appear as Bills and Payments.

What is EBP? Does everything coded bills and payments notcount towards bonus points?
