Altitude Platinum Rewards Credit Card | Westpac

Plus the $50 QF membership.

I'm on for this. Approved instantly.

Anyone know if you can get the same deal at a branch or it is only online?

(Easier for me to prove income from my smsf with a person, face to face.)

Well I applied and yes they wanted documents and Yes, I could do it at a branch.

Young bloke at my local branch called his contact and asked exactly what documents they wanted; gave him those and approved within a couple of hours.

Much easier than over the phone when you are not providing the standard "payslips".

Great deal. Hope the bonus points post quickly.

Thanks! Just been conditionally approved for the Platinum Visa...

Applied 13/6/2018. Received card 18/6/2018. Good stuff from Westpac.

Signed up about 10 days ago and got an email today which said

"Before you can start earning Qantas Points on eligible purchases, you'll need to provide your Qantas Frequent Flyer number to us. Call 1300 859 100 to register your membership. "



Is this correct? Do I have to contact them to give them my QFF number even though it was provided during the application process?

That’s a generic email. They should already have it on file but it doesn’t hurt to double check.

Now even better:- AmEx Westpac Altitude Platinum Bundle - up to 90K Bonus Qantas Points, $0 Annual Fee, $0 Qantas Rewards Fee (1st Year) - OzBargain

Nice for those who have not yet applied. When I already have a card and they then sweeten the deal for new applicants I find it a little frustrating.

"Offer ends 12th September 2018. One application, two great Rewards cards."

How can it be one application (on your credit file) if there are two card issuers?
Or are they saying one application process (completing forms and whatnot)...

There are 2 credit enquiries, using the same data from one 'combined' application form.

Someone on OzBargain got carried away and thought the Altitude Black had no annual fee for the first year as well. But that's not the case and the mistake cost them two credit enquiries ...

 

[Einherjar]

Has there ever been a no annual fee deal (+ points) for Altitude Black? My partner got the platinum altitude 2 months ago and I purged all my ccards except for the Platinum Edge (I'm still thinking whether to renew or move to DJ's Amex next year).

For someone who applied recently for the Altitude Plat 60K sign on free first year, did you notice if the promo code was "WAAR6".

It was on the online application just under where we had to insert out QF FF number, in the section 'Card Options'.

BTW, the Altitude Plat (with no AMEX), is still available. Altitude Platinum Rewards Credit Card | Westpac

60K QF, $3000 spend, free 1st year. Check the T&Cs carefully though as YMMV.

What about the $50 Altitude Qantas fee?

 

[get me outta here]

Yes, they charge that as far as I know. Just no card fee in year 1.

Has there ever been a no annual fee deal (+ points) for Altitude Black?

Yes. I had one a couple of years ago and there have been others since, like this one last year.

 

[Einherjar]

Hoping something like that comes again soon. Trying to find a good deal with Amex Lounge + Qantas points and no annual fee. Patiently waiting..

 

[Cryptarcadian]

From looking at this:
Altitude Platinum | Westpac

There seems to be no mention of any 18-month waiting period, or any other eligibility conditions for existing cardholders on the Amex side?
