Credit Card Offers Bankwest Qantas Platinum: 50,000 bonus Qantas Points

[exceladdict]

Sorry for bumping an old thread but it was the most recent one I could find for this card (not the world one).

Just wanted to ask if it was normal for Bankwest to withhold transferring any Qantas points accrued within a statement month until some designated point in the near future? eg when the bonus points criteria is met? Also doesn't seem like it needs to be manually done like non-denominational reward point systems.

Just used to other banks crediting any QFF points at the end of each statement period.

It comes on an arbitrary day of the month in my experience, around the 8th, for whatever you've earned to that date. It gets a bit confusing due to being Async with the statement period

If it's the latter my 3 end of month statements so far do show points accrued, just zero next to the line saying "credited to your QFF account this month".

Correct, they credit your points after the first three months and the statement cycle doesn’t match points crediting.

Alright guess it's just Bankwest's normal SOP then. Thanks.

Do you mean they literally decline payments for flight bookings

Yes, certain airlines which they seem to think have a higher level of fraudulent transactions. In my case, Bankwest declined all my payment transactions with CX, so I rang them up and asked what was going on.

I was informed that, yes, CX transactions were blacklisted and automatically declined, but I was told that I could request an exemption for my account, which is what they did.

Just typical of the CBA group of companies.
