Card Promotions ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum: 75,000 QFF points. $0 fee.

Doesn’t sound great.
I hope I didn’t take a credit hit for nothing.

I will be very unimpressed if I am declined after all the income evidence I provided (which matches my application). If they want to decline they should do it based on the application (unless the evidence doesn’t match the app of course).

I think you will be fine if you are willing to entertain all their requests.

Anyhow, I think they need to do a better job at training their staff. The people I was in contact with were unhelpful and I had to reach out to them multiple times to keep the process going, instead of the other way around. The overall impression was that they were just trying to push back so they could tick a box and move to the next customer (like sending meaningless texts instead of actually calling and progressing the application). This is my first decline in 20+ applications and by far the worst experience.
 
It almost feels like some of the assessors have some incentive to tank your application, by asking tonnes of document, discouraging you, and apparently, declining your application 30 seconds after explaining to you that have 85 days to submit more docs. I hope they get it fixed in 13 months from now.
 
Was a relatively smooth experience. Got the 75k points after my second statement. Although activating it in the branch was ehh...
 
I got my credit record today and guess what?
ANZ did 2 x "application for credit" requests on my file: 05.08.20 & 08.09.20.
After going through the terrible approval process with ANZ, the headache is not over yet.
 
How long is it currently taking to receive the sign up bonus post making the minimum spend ?

Met spend within 3 days of opening the account.
 
Just ticked over the $2500 spend mark for the 70k recently. Might be a longer wait for the QFF bonus points this time, as the T&Cs says up to 3 months after meeting the spend. I remembered in 2020 it was quick.
 
Could anyone plse pm me contact details for a ccard executive decision maker at the ANZ? The off shore unit is being illogically obstreperous.

Oh do you have an idiot as a credit card application assessor, that keep calling you every Fridays 4pm to ask for more and more stupid documents? I was wondering if the vax certificate had made the list. Please let us know :)

I think last time I got abused by the security team, I called customer service, kindly explain the situation to someone that was reasonable and understanding, and my application got approved 2 days later. I cant say for sure if the call helped or not thought.
 
Yes describes my position perfectly. But it doesn’t matter what you send them it doesn’t make it onto the application record. I have just made an official complaint in the branch so will see how that goes.
 
Just rec’d a copy of the text part of my complaint made at the branch typed in by the assistant manger.
It is barely comprehensible. He may need to be encouraged to do a typing course. Hopefully, it won’t jeopardise my chances.

My bonus came through recently, about 6 weeks after opening - made the required spend within a week of receiving the card. It's odd because the first statement cycle ended about 2 weeks after application. Partway through the second cycle (every 30 days I was told by ANZ), the 70k was showing in online banking. Promptly closed the account as soon as the bonus credited.
 
Similar here. Activated mid Jan, made spend end of Jan. First statement only had a week of transactions and got the bonus points with the second statement yesterday.
 
Got the bonus points 2 weeks after the required spend just before the 3rd statement. Now entering the 12 months waiting period.
 
When my account opened I only had 7 days before the first statement come and I hadn't met the spend. I met the spend early in the 2nd month and received the bonus points with the 2nd statement.
 
If you have a ANZ account or you're an existing customer (I just leave a transaction account open) and you're looking at this card, go into online banking under products and offers in credit cards. They're offering it with 110k points with $200 cashback on a $2500 spend.

Was about to apply for the black and stumbled onto this. I'd never looked in the offers before.

Edit: The Black's in the too with 160k points and $225 back. I scrolled right past it. 😂
