16,000 points for $95 is a great deal. I would recommend keeping the card until the end of the first year, that way any purchases with QF earn 2 points per dollar - up to their standard monthly limits.

New promotion from ANZ:
The conditions are that:Receive 16,000 Qantas Frequent Flyer points. Customers who apply online and are approved by 15 December 2005 and activate their card by 5pm (AEST) 15 January 2006 will receive 16,000 Bonus Points.
An ANZ Frequent Flyer Visa is $95 total fee for 12 months - even if you never used the card and then cancelled it, $95 for 16,000 QFF points represents good value as far as I can see!The offer is not available to:
* Account Holders who have previously redeemed the offer
* Additional cardholders
* existing ANZ credit card holders
* where an existing ANZ credit card is transferred and closed
Can anyone see any downside to this?
EDIT: Missed out the word "points" in the second last paragraph.

ANZ has offered more points as sign-up bonus in the past. Seems to vary between 5,000 (not worth it) and 20,000 points (at least that have come my way).
Its been a couple of months since their last personalised offer to me - must be about time for another in the lead up to Christmas.
As previously stated, $95 for 16,000 points isn't too bad a deal..just signed up. I might submit an application in my wife's name for a further 16,000 points and later on transfer them across to my QFF account :wink:
The question is, since this is a one time thing (the conditions state you can't get this bonus more than once) - should you go for the $95 for 16,000 points, or hold off in the hope they'll reoffer it with a 20,000 point bonus?Originally Posted by Kiwi Flyer
Kiwi Flyer, when did the 20,000 point bonus offer come around? Was it recent or a long time ago?
Darn, I just gave my wife a supplementary Qantas ANZ Visa Gold card. She got rejected on her own.
Maybe I can get her to try again...

After applying for my own card I entered an application in my wife's name for which she got an email confirming that ANZ will give her a limit of $4000.
It was a few/several months ago. Sorry I forget exactly when. For a while ANZ were sending me an offer every month.Originally Posted by beardoc
I applied for the ANZ Visa Card on Monday. Since, we have a policy at work that no employment details can be handed out without my written approval, I was thinking that ANZ were dragging the chain. To my surprise, the bloody card and the info pack turned up today. Even the Indian Call Centre activation part was painless - joy o joy. It all fell to pieces, when I attempted to sign the back of the card, the bloody thing was like trying to write on glass, maybe more like wax paper (if anyone is old enough to remember that thing) I tried about 5 pens, and ended up screwing it all up.
Anyone else received the 16000 point card offers? Any luck signing the ba$tard, or did you use a crayon?
My wife and I both received our cards earlier this week but because we weren't ANZ customers we both had to go into the local branch and identify ourselves.
The cards are now active and are sitting at the bottom of my desk drawer. Once my wife and I have seen the 16,000 points hit out QFF accounts they'll get the chop.
Neat investment, spend $95 and get 16,000 points...can't get that return on any other card![]()
