Frequently Asked Questions
How do I redeem my ANZ credit card points?
ANZ Rewards Points can be redeemed via the ANZ App or ANZ Internet banking. 1. Access your ANZ Rewards account via the ANZ App or ANZ Internet Banking 2. Choose your desired reward (e.g. Velocity Points or Gift Cards) 3. Choose the number of points or the value of the gift card (for example), then click ‘Redeem’.
How do I claim my ANZ Rewards Points?
Points that you earn with the ANZ Rewards Platinum Card will automatically be credited to your ANZ Rewards account, even if you haven’t actually set one up yet.
If this is your case, don’t fear. Your points are still safe. Just register with ANZ Rewards to create a username and password. Once you log in, you will have full access to your points for redemption.
The ANZ Rewards Platinum is the middle-ground on ANZ’s Rewards cards range, offering almost all the features of the ANZ Rewards Black but with a lower earn rate, points cap and annual fee.
With a program like ANZ Rewards for ongoing spend, the key benefit is in the additional options that having many program transfer partners on offer gives when it comes to redeeming your hard-earned points. It does make managing your points a little more time-consuming as you have to factor that into your travel plans.

Hi all,
I recently just passed the minimum spend for this one. I’ve got some flights I want to book by converting the ANZ points to Velocity points asap for early August. Judging by the comments on this thread I don’t like my chances of getting the points in time.
Is this still the case?
Has anybody had any success calling up ANZ and get them to hurry the process along?
I applied and was approved for this offer back in October 2022, and met the eligibility within a month. I received the cash back in December along with a text message with a link to claim my velocity points.
The issue is, the link requires a unique code to continue which supposedly sends to my email address. Multiple calls to ANZ later has taken me no closer to solving this, just a lot of confused customer reps and the same text message being sent another 3 times.
Hi Thomas, from personal experience, I received a text message from ANZ that had both the link and the activation code in the same message. It says “To redeem, click the link before the expiry date of XXX: , enter your reward code XXXXXXXXXX”. I was able to redeem it in one go. Does that appear for you?
Hi Thomas
Really helpful if you included in your post information about the cap ANZ has on reward points per month. Discovered this only recently to my huge disappointment.
Cheers
Hi Brandon (or any other staff), do you have any idea how we claim the $95 Virgin travel credit? I assume the $50 credit will go onto the card (but when?) while Velocity status credits and 75k Velocity points will be credited. It would be great if you could communicate with your readers and offer some advice and confirm these things instead of cherry picking your replies. Don’t point us in the direction of the ANZ call centre which are neigh useless. Point Hacks is receiving commission from each signup through their website and various social media presences, therefore hold some responsibility. Look forward to your timely reply
Hi G, we’ve spoken to ANZ and they’ve confirmed that the rewards will be issued within 3 months of being the eligible spend criteria, as per the T&C’s. Unfortunately, we can’t ask ANZ to expedite this even if you meet the eligible spend early. Having said that, keep an eye out after the next statement is issued, as the rewards could be processed then. If there’s any delay beyond the published 3-month wait, then we can follow that up with ANZ.
Hi Brandon, thanks for following up. Points normally credit quite fast with ANZ (historically), I guess I’m wondering re the $50 cashback and the $95 Virgin travel credit (and also, how it would be used? Is it Travel Bank like the credits during Covid?). I’ve seen this question asked before, but not answer to it. Will keep this page posted on progress. Still think this promo has been a little shambolic. As I mentioned in a response to Gianni, a friend applied at the same time as me and has had 4 different calls asking for certain info (info has been emailed now 4 times) and things just don’t seem to progress.
Hi G, we’ve been instructed by ANZ to give you this dedicated address for your queries – hopefully they’ll be able to assist better than the call centre: [email protected]. Do let me know if you’re still having issues after contacting them.
Hi Brandon, sent an email to the address you gave ([email protected]) on Thursday 08/12 and 8 business days later I still haven’t received a response. This is ANZ in a nutshell.
Update: received SMS from ANZ today (22/12) confirming the promo & 75k Velocity points and 30 status credits were credited to my Velocity within 5 minutes of inputting my info. The confirmation email said the $95 Virgin travel credit will be emailed within 4 months from today and lastly, the $50 credit to the ANZ card will arrive within 3 months. That’s an annoyance because it means one must keep the card open to receive their goodies, with the card now dormant and not required. Compared to the ANZ Qantas Rewards promos (which I apply for and cancel every 15 months or so), this this ANZ Rewards promo has been messy and we are left guessing. I urge people to screenshot all stages of their application and keep a record so if they don’t receive their entitlements, then a simple Ombudsman case that will be ruled in their favour. Contacting the overseas ANZ call centre is a fate on par with calling QANTAS in Fiji or SA.
Any news on the point hacks offer that was available for 75,000 velocity points? Applied not long after the offer commenced, have made the minimum spend , auto redemption on and still get to receive any of the bonuses.
I see now the offer has changed to bonus ANZ rewards points and no mention of velocity points. Touch wood the 75,000 points come soon.
Hey Gianni, I’m in the same boat as you. This ANZ Rewards promotion has been an absolute shambles! I got the card and hit spend and completed the requirements but have heard nothing as to how to receive the flight voucher, have not received the $50 cashback and the bonus points haven’t been credited as yet. I tend to screenshot all pages of my application and also screenshot the promo so that if there are any hassles when it comes to my payday, it is an easy win Ombudsman case. A friend applied for the same card at the same time and has received four (4) separate calls and requests for more information (info they’ve now submitted four times). These are from ANZ call centres on the sub continent. Their card application still isn’t approved or declined. If Pointhacks and co receive a commission for us signing up, then surely they could keep us updated as to how things are going with the promo, and whether a promo has been pulled. Dealing with the overseas ANZ call centre is like banging your head against a wall.
How do we receive our $95 travel credit? Is it emailed to us from ANZ? or from Velocity?
And i assume this is happens after the first statement is created?
Well in some great news, today received the SMS with the link to redeem the 75,000 velocity and 30 SC. Seems quite a few have been getting them sent out today after speaking to a few people who apllied. Assume they have just started processing all now as there would have been quite a few who applied all at the same time
Hi Zoe, ANZ are aware of an issue that is causing the application to fail. We’ll update the page from ‘Notify Me’ to ‘Apply now’ if it is resolved.
Hi Brandon, as of Sunday night 06/11, the application process says the promo has been pulled when you click through your link. This is both on this page (that we’re responding on now), and via social media on Insta and FB.
Thanks G, it’s an ANZ issue and they’re aware of it. We’ll update the red button on this page from ‘Notify Me’ to ‘Apply now’ if it is resolved.
Hi Brandon, is the issue still occurring? I can see Apply Now but when I click to apply, it runs into an error.
Thanks.
I’ve tried to apply twice in the last 2 days and when I click on the final button to submit information I get an ANZ error “sorry something has happened” etc – looks like a system error
I received the Anz rewards platinum card but didn’t sign up to Anz rewards or velocity auto redemption until a couple of days later (when I had used the card 4 or 5 times).
Will this create any dramas in terms of entitlement to the 75k bonus, $50 cash back to the card, and $95 travel credit.
Yes, you are.
If you haven’t had an ANZ Rewards card earning ANZ Rewards points in the last 12 months then you’re eligible. I currently have a ANZ QF FF card and still I’m eligible. I read the T&Cs and then called ANZ to double confirm, and they said all good.
Hi team,
I’ve been trying to apply for the past few day and it won’t move past the initial page. Keeps saying there is an error. Can someone help?
Hi Mo, ANZ are aware of an issue that is causing the application to fail. We’ll update the page from ‘Notify Me’ to ‘Apply now’ if it is resolved.
Hello,
Could you please shed some light on the part of the sign-on bonus criteria which states ‘switch on and keep on ANZ Rewards Auto-Redemption for Velocity Points’? I have not used ANZ before so I’m not sure what this entails. Does this require me to keep this auto-redemption feature on for the whole 3 months?
In the eligibility criteria, it doesn’t mention minimum income like amex application, do they really dont check the payslips or for those self employed the tax returns etc? is it only being Australian resident and having good credit score? thanks mate
I applied for this ANZ Visa card with bonus $500 gift card back in March 2021. I have spent more than $1500 and it has now been 3 months. When will I get the gift card? And how do I choose what card I get?
Hi Shawn, check your ANZ Rewards balance. Your bonus is in the form of 120,000 ANZ Rewards points, which you are then free to convert to points or swap to any available gift card and denomination of your choice. It just happens that 120,000 points is enough for a $500 gift card.
I applied for the ANZ Rewards Platinum credit card – $500 Gift Card with $1500 Spend/3 Mths on the ANZ Rewards Platinum ($0 Annual Fee 1st Year).
I applied for this a week ago on 23rd March when the offer was still available. I still haven’t received my card. Can I confirm that when I receive my card, I am still going to get my Gift Card – and not charged the annual fee of this new ANZ Rewards Platinum Card (95$)??
Every time I call ANZ they say this was a Point Hacks exclusive offer so I need to contact PointHacks.
Hi Masood, as long as you applied while the offer was still active, you’ll still be eligible for the deal including the no first-year annual fee and the $500 gift card after meeting the minimum spend.
reading and re-reading the T & C’s, and reading the comments to the article. Are we only eligible to receive the $500 gift card if we bring a balance transfer across?
Hi Greg, I can confirm the balance transfer offer is separate to the $500 gift card offer. You don’t need to take the balance transfer to receive the gift card. You just have to meet the minimum spend and other card eligibility requirements.
“This offer applies only once per eligible customer. Your application must be approved and you must activate the card and make $1,500 worth of eligible purchases within 3 months of approval to receive the $500 Gift Card.“
Brandon, thanks for your reply. Normally I only go for QFF earning cards, but this is a bit of a no brainer with a $500 gift card for only $1500 spend. Just going through the T & C’s a final time, I’m not clear if ANZ will charge an awards fee (although the annual card fee will not be charged). In a nutshell, I have never owned an ANZ rewards card, will not be doing a balance transfer and will easily spend $1500 in the first 90 days; due to this, I will incur no annual fee or rewards fee from ANZ (there will be no fees whatsoever), and will receive the $500 voucher (for the brand I nominate), within 30 days of spending $1500 They word these T & C’s so badly.
Hi Greg, yes it can be confusing!
– The $0 first year annual fee waives both the card annual fee ($40) and the rewards fee ($55). It’s then $95 p.a. combined from the 2nd year onwards.
– The T&Cs do state you should receive your card 30 days after meeting the required spend
Hi Brandon, how long after meeting the $1500 spend will it be until we see the 120k ANZ rewards points? cheers,
I currently own an ANZ Frequent Flyer Black credit card, but I should be eligible for this as the offer states:
“Not available where you currently hold an ANZ Rewards, ANZ Rewards Platinum or ANZ Rewards Black credit card, or have closed, or qualified for bonus Rewards Points or a credit back on, any of those ANZ Rewards credit cards within the previous 12 months.”
However I just wanted to triple check with ANZ before I applied, but when I called them, ANZ have told me to check with PointHacks as this is exclusive to them. Is there anyone officially from PointHacks that can confirm that I am eligible for this gift card offer?
Hi Masood, the ANZ ‘Frequent Flyer’ range of cards will not exclude you from bonus offers on the ‘Rewards’ range of cards, as long as you meet the other criteria.
Can someone please confirm whether to be eligible for the gift card you need to take out a balance transfer when applying for this credit card? The below statement in the terms and conditions appears to indicate this, but the representative from ANZ I spoke to about it could not confirm.
“Offer only available to new and approved credit card applicants who apply for an ANZ Rewards Platinum credit card account with the balance transfer.”
If it is a requirement to take out the balance transfer, the next question is what would be the minimum balance transfer?
Not available where you currently hold an ANZ Rewards, ANZ Rewards Platinum or ANZ Rewards Black credit card, or have closed, or qualified for bonus Rewards Points or a credit back on, any of those ANZ Rewards credit cards within the previous 12 months.
Based on this, it appears you will be eligible for the bonus points if you hold an ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures card. However, it is always advisable to give ANZ a call ton confirm this.

The link now seems to be dead. Applied last week and ANZ performed a credit check but haven’t received a yay or nay yet.

Just worked! Moving away from Westpac!
I received the Anz rewards platinum card but didn’t sign up to Anz rewards or velocity auto redemption until a couple of days later (when I had used the card 4 or 5 times).
Will this create any dramas in terms of entitlement to the 75k bonus, $50 cash back to the card, and $95 travel credit.
I will of course now leave auto redemption on.
anyone having their application stuck in the “saving profile” page?
Hi, If I’ve recently closed an ANZ FF platinum card am I eligible for this offer? (Not rewards platinum)
Yes, you are.
If you haven’t had an ANZ Rewards card earning ANZ Rewards points in the last 12 months then you’re eligible. I currently have a ANZ QF FF card and still I’m eligible. I read the T&Cs and then called ANZ to double confirm, and they said all good.
Thank you!
Just to clarify – are the $95 Virgin Australia travel credit and 30 Status Credits both only once-off benefits? Or available every year?
Hi Mi, these are one-off benefits.
Hi team,
I’ve been trying to apply for the past few day and it won’t move past the initial page. Keeps saying there is an error. Can someone help?
Hi Mo, ANZ are aware of an issue that is causing the application to fail. We’ll update the page from ‘Notify Me’ to ‘Apply now’ if it is resolved.
Hello,
Could you please shed some light on the part of the sign-on bonus criteria which states ‘switch on and keep on ANZ Rewards Auto-Redemption for Velocity Points’? I have not used ANZ before so I’m not sure what this entails. Does this require me to keep this auto-redemption feature on for the whole 3 months?
Thanks
Hi Brandon,
In the eligibility criteria, it doesn’t mention minimum income like amex application, do they really dont check the payslips or for those self employed the tax returns etc? is it only being Australian resident and having good credit score? thanks mate
Anecdotally, the income level for these types of cards is around $35K. But as ANZ doesn’t specify, it’ll depend on their internal criteria.
Hi Brandon, just wondering when this offer finishes?
Cheers
31 March 2023 according to the ANZ application page T&Cs #3.
Same issue when clicking apply receive the error. Have tried on mobile and desktop
Hi Gianni, ANZ have fixed all the issues now.
Anyone able to apply? it says:
Sorry, that offer cannot be found or has ended.
Please take a look at our current credit cards and offers.
Hi Maryanne, ANZ is aware of this issue. We believe it has now been fixed, but please try on a different device/browser if you’re still having issues.
I applied for this ANZ Visa card with bonus $500 gift card back in March 2021. I have spent more than $1500 and it has now been 3 months. When will I get the gift card? And how do I choose what card I get?
Hi Shawn, check your ANZ Rewards balance. Your bonus is in the form of 120,000 ANZ Rewards points, which you are then free to convert to points or swap to any available gift card and denomination of your choice. It just happens that 120,000 points is enough for a $500 gift card.
Hi Brandon, Thanks – I just checked my points balance and it is only around 7200 points. So in the last 3 months, I have spent over $4800.
Is there a number I can call to chase this up?
Probably best to contact the ANZ Rewards team directly: https://anzrewards.com/public/info.aspx?name=contactus

In a nutshell, I have never owned an ANZ rewards card, will not be doing a balance transfer and will easily spend $1500 in the first 90 days; due to this, I will incur no annual fee or rewards fee from ANZ (there will be no fees whatsoever), and will receive the $500 voucher (for the brand I nominate), within 30 days of spending $1500 They word these T & C’s so badly.
Hi Greg, yes it can be confusing!
– The $0 first year annual fee waives both the card annual fee ($40) and the rewards fee ($55). It’s then $95 p.a. combined from the 2nd year onwards.
– The T&Cs do state you should receive your card 30 days after meeting the required spend
Hi Brandon, how long after meeting the $1500 spend will it be until we see the 120k ANZ rewards points? cheers,
I currently own an ANZ Frequent Flyer Black credit card, but I should be eligible for this as the offer states:
“Not available where you currently hold an ANZ Rewards, ANZ Rewards Platinum or ANZ Rewards Black credit card, or have closed, or qualified for bonus Rewards Points or a credit back on, any of those ANZ Rewards credit cards within the previous 12 months.”
However I just wanted to triple check with ANZ before I applied, but when I called them, ANZ have told me to check with PointHacks as this is exclusive to them. Is there anyone officially from PointHacks that can confirm that I am eligible for this gift card offer?
Hi Masood, the ANZ ‘Frequent Flyer’ range of cards will not exclude you from bonus offers on the ‘Rewards’ range of cards, as long as you meet the other criteria.
Hello
Can someone please confirm whether to be eligible for the gift card you need to take out a balance transfer when applying for this credit card? The below statement in the terms and conditions appears to indicate this, but the representative from ANZ I spoke to about it could not confirm.
“Offer only available to new and approved credit card applicants who apply for an ANZ Rewards Platinum credit card account with the balance transfer.”
If it is a requirement to take out the balance transfer, the next question is what would be the minimum balance transfer?
This referes to the $0 annual fee. You would still get the gift card but pay the an annual fee if you didn’t have the balance transfer.
Has this expired? When I click through, i cant seem to find where it mentions the bonus $500 gift card and it also mentions an ongoing fee of $295?
Hi Paul, it’s still showing up as the bonus offer for me. Can you please try to clear your cache or use a different browser?
its working today~
Hello sir/madam, how long you would need to keep this card? Can it be cancelled any time? I could not find any conditions for this card.
Hi Mary, you are able to cancel the card at any time. However, you’ll probably want to wait until you’ve received the $500 gift card before doing so.
If I currently hold an ANZ rewards travel adventures card, will I be excluded?
Hi Daniel
I have tried to use your link to this offer a few times over the past 24 hours.
I keep getting an error message.
Can the gift card be used to buy another gift card, for example use the gift card at Woolworths to buy a Visa gift card that can be used anywhere?
Hi Dave, that would depend on the particular retailer’s T&C’s when you initially choose the gift card reward from ANZ.
From personal experience though, I don’t think the supermarkets let you buy gift cards with gift cards.
Do I need to include my Zip account’s credit limit for the application?
Hi Alfie, you will need to ask ANZ directly on any credit or banking related queries. We’re not able to comment on that, unfortunately.
Hi all,
I’m holding an ANZ FF platinum card. Do you think I’ll be eligible because it’s not considered a “Rewards” platinum card?
Hi Howard, the ANZ ‘Frequent Flyer’ range of cards won’t exclude you from the ‘Rewards’ offers and vice versa.
Hi
Is this offer sill valid?
Hi there,
I currently have a ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures card. Do I still qualify for the points if I apply for this credit card? Thank You.
Hi Donna Boseleng
The terms and conditions of the offer state:
Not available where you currently hold an ANZ Rewards, ANZ Rewards Platinum or ANZ Rewards Black credit card, or have closed, or qualified for bonus Rewards Points or a credit back on, any of those ANZ Rewards credit cards within the previous 12 months.
Based on this, it appears you will be eligible for the bonus points if you hold an ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures card. However, it is always advisable to give ANZ a call ton confirm this.
