You might as well, it will make them wear some pain and you may even get something out of it!Definitely write to the ombudsman. This is a disgraceful action by ANZ
ANZ called and replied with offical letter. Contravene 3.(a) of ANZ card T&Cs....
Ok found it.Anyone have the wording for this particular clause?
Ok found it.
Using the credit card account
(3) How you can use the credit card account
(a) The credit card account must be used wholly and exclusively for your personal, domestic or household use
Unfortunately that seems to be pretty clear cut.
Many people do of course put through business spend on private cards, but in your case they have examined the spend.
This sort of thing sends shivers down my spine. First we had Citi behaving badly, now ANZ. It seems like none of the banks can now be trusted as a warehouse for points.
Stuff it, I'm moving all mine. Let's see how these mongrels go trying to claw them back out of a frequent flyer account.
Terms like "disgraceful" and "mongrels" seem a tad on the hyperbole side of things given that people have either not understood the T&Cs or deliberately ignored them.
Most of the accusations are coming from a moral or ethical point of view.
What do you mean by that? That somehow "big corporations" deserve what they get?
ANZ called and replied with offical letter. Contravene 3.(a) of ANZ card T&Cs and that they have the right to sole discretion to cancel the points. Guy from ANZ unapologetic and quite arrogant. Like crime commitment yet they have benefit from merchant fees! ... Warning to all. Beware Beware Beware....
Your only hope is a complaint to ths Financial Ombudsman!
