Westpac Altitude 80K bonus QFF Points- $195 fee

[tricky1337]

I have ordered my carbon offset. Fingers crossed I get the passes.

Did you end up getting the passes?

I paid for a carbon offset about 3 weeks ago and no sign of passes. Perhaps they've closed the loophole.

Did you register your card first? Altitude Qantas Black - Home

Mine took about a week or so to arrive after buying the carbon offset

 

[tricky1337]

Yep I did register beforehand.

Oh well, I need to add some segments to a 280k redemption next month so I'll try to trigger the passes then with this card.

Did you pay with the correct card?

 

[tricky1337]

Did you pay with the correct card?

Yes I did. Made sure to do over $1 too.

 

[Kangol]

Yes I did. Made sure to do over $1 too.

Yes

Initially I used the MasterCard to get carbon offsets but after a week no passes arrived. Then I did the same thing again using the Amex card and a week later the passes arrived.

This card is now $250 for 80K points. I'm out of the exclusion zone and hoping for a good bonus cheap asap.

The ANZ and Bendigo Bank offers are better value. Ditto for the Virgin cards.

Which Bendigo offer are you referring to? This one expired months ago:

Bendigo Bank Qantas Platinum MC: 50K bonus / $149 AF / ends 31/12/17

Also the ANZ offer has an exclusion period which one has to wait out. Of course the ANZ deal is one of the best going if your exclusion period is over.

The Westpac deal is a reasonable offer for those looking to churn.

It's actually $250 + $50 in Qantas reward fee now.

just had my 3rd statement and no bonus points. I met the spend criteria in month 2. is this common that I'll need to manually chase up?

There's no point in chasing this up until the end of the time period at which the points should have been awarded. Then go for the jugular. Read this thread for how to go about this and what compensation you will likely receive.

Now a $250 annual fee but a required spend of only $3,000 for 80,000 QFF points.

The Platinum with $0 annual free for first year also with a required spend of $3,000 but only 60,000 QFF points looks like a better deal.

 

[Dr Ralph]

Now a $250 annual fee but a required spend of only $3,000.

Plus $50 Qantas fee?

 

[mviy]

Plus $50 Qantas fee?

I didn't look into it in that level of detail. You can see the details of the offer on Westpac's website.

 

[mviy]

Plus $50 Qantas fee?

Looked into this and yes there is the $50 QANTAS fee. But $50 for 60,000 points is still a very good deal.

Looked into this and yes there is the $50 QANTAS fee. But $50 for 60,000 points is still a very good deal.

And if you take the Amex as well, doesn't that make it 75,000 for $50? I don't think there would be another &50 fee (but haven't checked it myself).
