So I applied for this card probably late september, got the card in October, and spent about 5k on it - when I look at the available balance, it clearly has spent over 5k - and that is first month alone. Just today I checked my activity statement, and there is 23k points + some change from Westpac Altitude Qantas. I'm guessing the 3k + some change in points was up to the moment of the statement, plus 20k bonus (maybe) ?
I'm guessing the additional 80k will come in the next statement, once its ticked over the 5k threshold ? Is that similar to what others are seeing? Annual fee of $195 has been charged. I also just made a booking with QF last week, and missed the point about having to register with Westpac for the Qantas lounge pass, prior to making the QF spend. I registered today nevertheless - any ideas if the passes will come, or are they likely to say that the spend was not eligible ?
