Up to 30000 bonus points with JQ Mastercard

[anat0l]

Just applied. Seems a bit stricter than some other CC apps I've put in before. Not sure if I'll get it (basing it on my last year's tax return) but we'll see.

I am not saying not signing up at all but all I am saying that it is not as good value as it is perceived.

I'm not sure to what extent would credit card applications have an impact on credit ratings. It might only matter a lot if you are rejected. In saying that, there are credit checks for other things, e.g. signing a new Optus post-paid contract, which I recently just did (though it didn't involve having to state all that information requested in the CC application). I'm sure my parents have applied for several credit cards before, sometimes just to take advantage of no fees and/or award points, and their frequency has not compromised their credit rating.... and no, we are not in debt!

20,000 points is 20,000 points with no annual fee. Whatever currency that is in it's not a bad deal (though it's obviously more valuable to those who are pursuing QFF and the opposite for those who are not). I don't know how you interpret the value perceived by some others but I'm applying it mainly for the no fees posture as well as the free bonus points (20,000 mostly; the 10,000 extra might not happen for me). It would seem your only reasons for saying it's a worthless deal are: (a) QFF is a pesos (or Zimbabwean) program, and (b) you like to keep accesses to your credit file to a bare minimum.

I rather like Plane Talking's (Yeah I know) take on the 30,000 point offer-

Jetstar, airline or currency dealer? | Plane Talking

[TonyHancock]

[deejo77]

I too received a phone call to provide payslip via fax today

 

[anat0l]

Replied to a missed call today further clarifying some details of my application (i.e. around the financial particulars).

Received the card today, the welcome letter does state no annual fee for the first year.

Now in the process of activating the card....

The promo details was again explained to me on the phone, which i thought was great.

Now to make my first purchase, and spend $5K to get all of my 30K QFF points!

Another great way to boost the QF points.
And you save booking fee on Jetstar
Win.

Does anyone know the turnaround time for the application?

I thought it was instant (like the Westpac one which gave you an answer right away) but haven't heard anything since I submitted the application online.

They seem to have more "due diligence" procedures before they give you the card. I was called a couple of days after applying to check a few details. Others have had to send (via fax or email) proofs of income etc.

In all, I've been told it could be up to 10 business days before you get a response.

I applied last Tuesday. Haven't had any communication from them yet. Hopefully this week.

I don't think so. The only contact I had was an SMS requesting a payslip.

I don't think so. The only contact I had was an SMS requesting a payslip.

I received an SMS requesting a payslip be sent to via email or fax. I also received a phone call 24 hours later. I was given a different email address when I was called and received an auto receipt response when I sent the payslip for the second time. My first email was undelivered!!!

 

[medhead]

Thanks, perhaps I should have printed the confirmation page. :idea:

Also got this offer, even though these days I don't think you can do much with 30000 QFF Pesos these days. I rather have 30000 KF or VA Points, or even better, 30000 Amex MR points.

Dunno there, 30000 QFF points with a few more can easily have one well on the way to higher status
