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

[JessicaTam]

The $12K question - did you have any B&P transactions included?

Well I have just gone back to see when I hit the $12k excluding B&P ... and I haven't yet!

The 100k bonus appeared exactly 30 days after I hit the $12k if I include *all* transactions.

Have applied for amplify signature. Approved conditionally with 35k limit. Have subsequently sent Tax assessment and bank accounts. There was a problem with ICS? No due to having had a loan with them many moons ago which got resolved by popping into a branch. Another text this morning asking us to call . Fingers crossed! The clock is ticking on current bonus but I’ll be happy just to have this card in my wallet.

I just received my 100k bonus yesterday - 27/09/19

Hit 12k spending with ATO and EBP - 04/09/19 - 23 days ago
Hit 12k spending with EBP and no ATO - 13/09/19 - 14 days ago
Hit 12k spending without BOTH EBP and ATO - 27/09/19 (transaction is still pending) - 0 days !

hope that helps

could do a category analysis if *really* interested

So, only ~ 23 days wait for you after all spending. However, the thought was that ATO did not get the sign on bonus, is not the case here. I wonder why the ATO payment did not go through EBP?

The difference is really only a few $ more paying directly via ATO - Card Payment over EBP (once you factor in the GST, i guess 0.06% more), since you get the points paying everything, and will be the preferred option after the 12th

Yes, except for qualifying for the sign on bonus.

Was told over the phone last week we have been approved for this card but now silence. No further communication. No email or anything in the mail. What is the usual process with these guys after approval?

From memory I had to prove ID?

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.

With limited limits....what method are you using to pay larger bills? do you preload your credit card or are you using the card and then clearing debt repeatedly?

 

[cove]

I preload and then pay usually. With WA land tax there was a $100,000 payment limit so I had to pay that one more than once. With other payments just load up every couple of minutes. Westpac to St George you have to wait at least a day for the funds to arrive.
Some newer members have smaller BPay limits than $100,000 a time.

The 100,000 bonus has now posted. Can confirm spending via EBP and direct with our Canberra friends has been included in the spending threshold I know this as I'm still to hit the $12k with other spending.

Anyone receive their bonus points yet? I signed up with it was the 120k QF bonus for a $179 annual fee. I got the card 20 August, hit the minimum spend by 30 September. Just had the second statement issued. I suspect the points won't be paid out until the third statement, or something naff like that

Not me.

St George have a history of making people wait for the full period.

i'm 99.99% sure the answer is "no", however is there a way to transfer amplify points from 1 member to another?
would prefer to keep them as amplify before transferring

I know my brother tried doing this but it failed for him after about a week.
In our family all but one of us has this card so that extends our opportunities to spread our Miles earn into multiple hands to widen our redemption nominees.
