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

I was approved on 11 July, so does my 2nd year's spending start on 12 July? Or, is it all some other date? Thanks
 
GMOH that is what I am thinking but I would allow a week to be certain. They aren’t Citibank but better to be safe than sorry
Early this morning I was giving three of these cards a pretty good workout. I had to stop when our balances were pretty much all used up.
i am unsure about how twitchy my favourite eldest son will get as to whether he will transfer Amplify points prior to the 10% birthday bonus.
Meanwhile my favourite youngest son is with his partner in first class on a SQ777 and they are the only two in the cabin. Champagne and pjs to Tokyo I think.
 
Off the topic. I applied this card in last year and enrolled QF rewards, St George sent me 2 free Qantas lounge pass. However, I also used the same card details to enroll Priority Pass membership and received membership card, in the statement it said 2 complimentary pass for primary card holder. I thought each reward program is eligible for one type of lounge pass. Thanks
 
I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with StG posting your QF signup bonus separate from the points of your first statement? My points for the first statement hit my QF account yesterday but the bonus is nowhere to be seen. Should I start worrying?
FWIW the spendings are to Immigration Department via paypal

First statement is too early, read the terms and only worry until after the required spend is made and the maximum period for crediting has elapsed.

Don't ever expect to get the bonus ahead of time. If it's early that's a plus and an unexpected privilege.
If someone else does, then they are lucky, does not mean you will.

I’ve met the required spend if the payment to immigration department is accounted in the calculations. My past experiences were they’re usually posted at the same time hence the question. Thanks for your reply nonetheless.
 
Dr Ralph your circumstances must be so different to that of our family. For all of our tribe we are staying with the non Qantas points earner and it is a winner. If any of my group churned it I would be thinking that they might need some medical help......
This card is providing wholesale travel thru points redemptions and being a wholesaler this very much appeals to me.

Yes but you spend a lot of money which gives you the points. For everyday mum and dad expenses churning with bonuses means more points long term.
 
Yes we definitely have different circumstances. This card gives you points on shire rates, water rates, car registrations and more that make this one valuable.
if I go Amex I might get 0.5 points on that sort of thing.

So do many other cards and if they don't I can go the perfect gift card, VISA ONLY 1 or similar product route.

Does anyone know what the income requirement for the Signature card is? Currently considering applying for the Sig for my wife (who is on sub $60k), so we can snag the larger bonus.

I cannot confirm for sure, but would suspect that it is $75K.

Anything with a minimum $15,000 credit limit is usually around that figure.
 
Yeah, I figured as much. All of the other $15k cards I've had in the past have been $75k income required.

Oh well, might stick with the regular Amplify Platinum for this one.
 
Follow up question...

What would you consider to be the better value here - 60k QFF or 70k Amplify (= 35k VFF or Kris)?

@cove I have seen you mention the x2 value of Krisflyer over QFF. Based on this, the Amplify Qantas promo appears to be basically the same as the Amplify Rewards variant in that the effective bonus points earn for the Qantas card of the is roughly double the earn of the Amplify Rewards card (60k QFF vs 35k Kris)

The only difference is that the Amplify card is only $49 for the 35k effective points, whereas the Qantas card is $99.

Seems to me that the better value in this scenario is bagging the 70k Amplify for $49.

I'm speaking from a churn and burn basis here.

Even from a churn basis it all depends on where you can/intend to use these points.

For me QFF points have a lot more value. Based on where I can use Krisflyer points I could never accept that they have x 2 value over QFF points. Despite what people may claim QFF flights are readily available if you plan and have flexibility.

And unless it just changed the Qantas option is $49 NOT $99.

UPDATE: Confirmed that this is $49 NOT $99. Use this link:

Credit cards, low rate & reward cards

Compare the St.George Vertigo low rate card, Amplify rewards & Amplify Qantas cards and no annual fee credit cards.

Note this is available until March 31, 2020.

If it was me, I'd bank the cheap QFF points now and churn straight away. If my experience is anything to go by you can have the points in your account by the end of the first statement.
