St George Ampliy Signature card. 100,000 Amplify points. NO FEE!

I had the qantas variety of this one and had to wait the full 3 months after meeting the spent. Painful it was.

Guess i just have to be very patient....

I have had to wait 3 months in the past, also, but I can see from previous posts by @Dr Ralph that they can be posted within as little as 3 weeks.

Points posted 18/2.

Card now cancelled.

This is what churning is all about!

My son received his bonus inside one month.
He won't be cancelling /churning.

I must look at this card for myself.

The 200,000 Amplify points offer thru pointhacks is still there but quite hidden. Put St George Amplify into the search area.
The non Qantas points credit card is a winner for our family and we all have one.
We had an almost $12,000 sports tickets bill to pay so my son got to the first year bonus for non government spend very quickly. For some the $12,000 non government spend could be a problem to get the bonus.

I got the Qantas points version of this card but I think I'll go for the non-Qantas version next time, so I can boost my Krisflyer balance.

I don't put $200k through Canberra each year, so it makes more sense for me to use other cards for government spend and wait out St. George's exclusion period so I can get a signup bonus of Amplify points instead.

It is a $12,000 non government spend for the 100,000 Amplify bonus offer in each of 2 years.
Yes Kris Miles work well for our tribe. SIL had old SQ suites to London and she has no status at all.

Just curious. As your bonus points posted in 21-22 business days, did you pay your card balance in advance or was the balance still owing at the time of said points postage?

Balance paid after points posted.

Nice. I've been counting down the days to see if I get a similar result. 22 business days tomorrow, so we'll see.

For the record, my card appeared at the branch within a week. Very easy to set up, user friendly, decent service too. Not a bad deal

FWIW, cease all CC churning and point purchasing - the world has just changed!

 

[nightelves]

Not sure if this has been asked but can you get bonus points from BoM and St George or are they essentially the same thing?

Usually regarded as the same business.

Well that was easy – just landed QF points (and then some). I forgot I had this card!

Good thing it's not with VA but still, what's the bet they'll increase fees/taxes and lower redemption possibilities before the next 6 – 12 months are out...

Going through the application for this card...they are not easy to deal with...

 

[Lizzi]

Applied for this one today - let's see how it goes!

Still the best CC for all of our family members. Worth the struggle to get it.

Is there someone competent I can talk to at st George?

They requested bank statement showing the last 2 months to see my income. And the person I am dealing with over the phone assumed I'm self employed because I have multiple source of income.
I have been arguing with the same person for a week now that I have multiple part time jobs and have no ABN but he doesn't want to understand and keep requesting bank statement of all my businesses...
I have already sent my bank statements and Notice of assessment from 2019 which they have rejected because FY2019 is too old for them...

I asked for a supervisor twice in my struggles with the Plilippines.
