Card Promotions New ANZ Frequent Flyer Black 110,000 points & $100 back

[I love to travel]

Does anyone know if points earned on this card can be sent to a Qantas Frequent Flyer account under a different name?

No

I'm self employed sole trader on an ABN, the document guide says I just need my most recent Individual Tax Return and profit/loss statement.

Will they still ask me for six months worth of bank statements or is this mainly for casual employment?

I wasn't working for 7 weeks August to October (extended holiday) and I'm partially paid through an intermediary which makes this a bit more complicated. I earn multiples of the minimum income requirement for the card but I've heard of similar people still having issues!

Also will going into a branch help at all?

Hi all, seeking some advice. I opened an ANZ Frequent Flyer Black in September. I thought the last one I held was more than 12 months ago, but I have now realised it was within the 12 months. I met the $5,000 spend last month, but the bonus points and annual fee credit didn’t come through. I’m guessing that these are likely not to come through given I didn’t wait for the 12 month cooling off period?

How much did you miss out by? Can always raise a complaint and see what they do.

Ended up speaking to a ANZ employee through the app. They said I was eligible, so fingers crossed it goes through. I think I was a few months off completing the cooling off period.

Unfortunately yes, you won't get the bonus points and annual fee credit as the blackout period has not elapsed in full.

You'll still just get the regular points from your spend plus any other card benefits like travel insurance.

While waiting for the points and dollar credit, I paid the balance off as I'd started spending on another card, but I didn't realise the dollar credit back was only against the purchases balance, so there was no credit back when the statement came through.

Anyone know if I push some spending through at this point will it still credit back?

Contact via the chat and they can confirm when you will receive any bonus. Mine took 2 statements until it came through..

Didnt realise that, but in reality expected, they can’t put you into credit. yep, spend a bit more and the credit will come into play.

I have a ANZ Qantas Platinum card (not the black version), which awards 75k bonus QFF points after $2.5k of eligible spend and a $295 annual fee plus a $100 cashback.

This is the one I have -

I've met the minimum spend and have got my $100 cashback (I paid it off early and now I've got a $100 surplus), but haven't yet got the points.

I assume that the points will be awarded / land once the latest statement is issued (due to be in a few days).

Just surprised that the cashback was awarded before the statement period ends / statement is issued - I would have thought that the cashback and points would be awarded at the same time when a statement is issued. Not complaining but just an observation.

Once I get the points and spend the $100 to make the balance back down to $0, I'll be closing the card.

I put through a spend to cover the credit last night and the credit came through today taking the balance almost back to zero.

Same experience here. Got the $100 cashback today. In web app, I can see my bonus points will be awarded with the next statement.

Got my 75k bonus points now

Now time to look for those elusive reward seats

My next trip isn't a OWA and it's within eastern Asia, so there's much better availability.

Got mine today too Hit spend in 2nd statement and received points on 3rd statement. Just requested my Qantas lounge passes today so waiting for that to land before I close out.

Nice

Mine is the Platinum one so I don't get the 2 invitations, but I do also have a Qantas Premier Platinum card which does come with 2 invitations by default per membership year (don't need to apply for them).

Haven’t seen this posted on these forums, only on Ozbargain etc. Existing ANZ customers via an online login can get 160,000 QFF points (after $3000 spend) and $225 back on annual fee. Just applied and approved, easy process. If not an existing customer, open a savings account to get access to the offer!

I wonder if this is still a thing? Assume the promo has finished now?

Yes, it’s 100k and $250 back in Year 1, plus extra 30k if you stick around for Year 2. I am still rotating the Frequent Flyer black and Rewards black every 12-18 months .

I've just cancelled my ANZ Qantas FF Platinum card last month after getting my bonus points - I'm assuming that I'll be eligible for the ANZ Rewards card (ie. not QFF, but ANZs own rewards points program)?

The wording here implies that I'll be fine (I haven't had an ANZ Rewards card, only the QFF one) :



When visiting the ANZ QFF cards page, it specifically states "ANZ Frequent Flyer Black, ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum or an ANZ Frequent Flyer credit card" regarding the blackout period.

Difference being the words "Frequent Flyer" and "Rewards" in each respective page.

If that's the case and I'll be eligible for Rewards points, I'll sign up in April / May as I've got my car insurance coming up that month and that's an easy 1/3 - 1/2 of the minimum spend requirement. Also looking to branch out and re-earn VFF points to diversify my points.

Also, I assume that the ANZ Rewards Points : VFF Points ratio is 2:1 with the below calculations:
