ANZ makes it harder to access sign-up bonus points

Anyone know when the terms changed?

“You are not eligible for this offer if you currently hold or have held an ANZ Frequent Flyer or ANZ Rewards credit card in the last 24 months.”

Geezz, my application got approved back in april . Does anyone know when this terms have changed ? I remember clearly when I applied it was still 12 months !

Far out, this was my next one in line to churn. Extending the lockout to 24 months AND extending it to both QFF and ANZ rewards cards means I’ll go from opening an account this month to opening one in October 2026…

This is why I have been saying Australian dollars is becoming the points hack .
Also easier to find availability of flights.

Pretty much all the CCs are now 24 month lock out periods now? Awful news.

Oh dear. I use my Travel Adventures card as my keeper because has a relatively low fee, no forex charges and great travel insurance. But if that excludes me from Qantas card sign up bonuses then I’m not sure it’s worth it.

The change in exclusion period to 24 months only makes me speed up my churning. Getting that period started asap just becomes more important IMO.

I hate the fact I'm considering this but that $1200 Qantas Titanium with 150k points is starting to look quite attractive given recent developments.

Big step towards Points Club Plus (worth a few hundred), large chunk of points, opening it over DSC time might make the 20% status credit bonus worth it and 2 x F lounge invitations for those of us Gold or below.

Now showing 24 months, may have been a cache issue.

Well I have cancelled just my Rewards earning ANZ Travel Adventures card. I will use a competitor card now, and still churn the ANZ Qantas card every 2 years.
