27/10/2015 Current Promo Summary

[BillytheFIsh]

I recently put this table together for some friends, so thought I would share in case someone finds it useful. Criteria were min. 30K bonus AND max cost per point based on the upfront annual fee of 0.5c/pt. Limited to QF and VA given my target audience. It's not intended to be comprehensive, but just to give them some decent options to kick-off with.

I've pasted the links from the image below. They are generic website links - I don't receive any benefit from them being used.

Nice chart, maybe add a column with the price per point value, saves having to work it out for the lazy ones

Ha, ha! I mentioned the same to my +1, only after donning a hard hat and surprisingly she has gone out and applied for it! I was amazed given that she scolded me for getting a JQ M/Card without asking first and applying for the HH card, which I've only this week heard back about.

I tried to keep it as simple as possible, but happy for others to add/change/rearrange to what is useful for them and repost.

I too started a spread sheet to keep track of these promos. I have no idea how to use Google docs so it's just in Excel and I don't know if I can upload Excel, but here's some screenshots.

Nice work Billy.

If you really want tick all the boxes (and tick off some AFF members who seem to believe this info should be kept secret), include a column for ATO points earning ability.

Citibank has a 50K QF points promo at the moment, check the thread in this forum.

Qantas Credit Union has a deal too.

These didn't make the cut as the sign on bonuses work out at >0.5c/pt.

Nice work Billy.

I'm leaving that one right alone GM! I put it together for friends with no/very low ATO payments, so wasn't an issue for them. The column would be pretty bare, though.

AMEX also has QFF bonus points with referral offers (15-80k) that end this 31/10. Referral Offers

Also their is the DJ Amex card with bonus points and enhanced earn rate. https://www.americanexpress.com/au/content/reward-cards/david-jones-card/

 

[Holysmoke]

I believe there are some restrictions to the ANZ bonus offers such as not being a cardholder in the previous 12 months. Might apply to the other offers as well.

This might be a dumb newbie question, but I guess this is the place to ask...right? Is there a minimum period I need to hold a card for, after meeting a bonus points criteria. For example if I apply for a NAB velocity plat card, pay the $150 yr 1 fee, meet the $1500 spend and then cancel the card after say 6 months', is this ok? What does it do to credit ratings, if anything?
