Card Promotions ANZ Rewards Platinum $95pa fee w/ 75k Velocity pts + $50 back + $95 VA credit + 30 SCs - via PointHacks

Maybe I got lucky but it was smooth sailing from card application to the arrival of the bonus points.

22/02 - Applied for card
24/02 - Card approved
18/03 - Hit the required spending
23/03 - Got text message requesting for details to redeem bonus points

Got the 75k points, 30 status credits and $50 back right after entering details.

Does anyone know how the $95 travel bank credit gets sent through?

You'll receive an automatic email from VA Travel Bank - it's tied to your Velocity number.
 
Have you had any luck getting the SMS?

I think I missed the SMS and as SMS is a terrible technology, there will be no retry or bouce as there would be with an email.
Chatted Witt them over phone . Said they would sent to international no . Not received . Chatted thru app . Said it was sent and they would send via email in 2 days . Not received .
 
Update - Mar 2023 - After providing pay slips for Feb 2023 (I attached them via the online thingy). No response for a few days and then I got a text message that someone from ANZ will call me today to discuss the application. No calls on that day as promised. I gave up and then someone called after a few days. I was not able to answer the phone, so they left a voicemail and a follow up text asking what is the right time to call. I responded with the timing, no calls, as usual. A few days later, another call from ANZ and I couldn't answer the phone this time as well. So the usual drill of voicemail, followed by text asking for the right time. I replied and after a few days another call and luckily this time I was able to answer it. The agent went on to ask for another month's pay slip before they can make a decision on the application. I told them that in Jan, I was asked for Dec pay slip to make a decision and in Feb, Jan's pay slip to make a decision, Feb's pay slip in March to make a decision and so on, yet, no decision has been made yet. The agent did not know what to say. I simply ended the call saying I shall upload Mar's pay slip when I get it.

Before finishing the call, I told the agent that I realize that this call is recorded and what I'm about to say is no reflection on the agent herself, who is simply doing her job, reading a script, asking for additional evidence etc. and she was good at her job - commended her for doing what is asked/expected of her, but the way ANZ had handled my case is very pathetic and is not expected to be done to a long-standing customer. It is very poor customer service and hopefully, ANZ improves. The call dropped sooner after this as I was in a patchy reception area. But in a few mins, I got an email from ANZ that my feedback has been received and a complaint is lodged so that someone can investigate the delays.

Now, need to wait until Mar's pay slip is released and then send it to ANZ. Just seems too much to do for a $6000 credit limit card.
Update: Card approved on 6th April. Card arrived in mail on 13th April. Card activated last night. On my way to meet the minimum spend within the next month.
 
Actually I contacted them and they said I needed to speak to card services . When I called I got response they could not take my call at the time .
I contacted them through the chat option in the ANZ mobile app. It took them a few days to respond, but they quickly resolved my issue. They could see that I had met the criteria and had sent me a SMS. However I had been o/s using a different SIM when it had been sent. They sent the SMS again a few days later and once I completed the details, the points were credited to my Velocity account just about instantly.
 
Also battling trying to get my points, credits, voucher and SCs.

Must admit just quietly I didn't turn on auto transfer until the third month. shhh.
 
Anyone have trouble getting past the card approval? I have never had problems in the past but this time.... It has been 3 weeks and they keep sending the same sms to send them documentation, which I have already sent more than once.
Tried to ring them today but they just took my details and said they would get someone to ring me back tomorrow. As long as they let the phone ring more than once, which is what they did last time.
Any suggestions?

Brain freeze moment - what is the required spend on this card please? I applied & approved when it was 75k VA points. The ANZ website is now modified to show 60k VA points on $2000 spend.
