I think the Qantas fee is limited to the Westpac issued cards - the fee seems to be attached to the MC only going by the below breakdown.

I applied for this card mid feb and hit minimum spend in the first month. I'd waited 13 months to open since the last closure (confirmed via credit report and personal records). I didn't receive the bonus points and they claimed I hadn't waited 12 months and that my card was closed in April instead of Jan. After much arguing I finally was awarded the points, but just a note to that they can be dodgy on the 12 month waiting period.
My data point: I closed my westpac in Feb 2019 and reaplied 1st April, no issue, I got the bonus last week.I had a similar problem (albeit it was Altitude points) . The issue seemed to be within the points portal. I called up and was told that I hadn't completed the 12 month waiting period. I had a copy of my previous cancellation letter from Westpac which clearly showed I had satisfied the waiting period. The CSA said they would investigate and I got the points within 7 days. Definitely something to watch though.
End of 2nd statement for Mrs DrRalph recently.Would anyone know how long Westpac takes to credit the 90k QF bonus pts after $4k spend within 90 days usually?
(I know T&C's say 12 weeks just hoping it's sooner than that so it falls in my current QF year.)
Whoops, found this thread from December 2020:Has the Amex Westpac Altitude Black card been discontinued (ie the one issued by Amex directly that started up in place of the Westpac issued one when those interchange rules were modified)?
I can't see it on the Westpac and Amex websites.
