ANZ Frequent Flyer Black Credit Card

I signed up for this card primarily for the bonus frequent flyer points offer, and also the high ongoing frequent flyer points earning. The first year’s fee was waived, and thankfully, because it’s $425 per annum and the interest rate is high. That’s when you have to question whether you will earn enough points to offset the fee, and frankly I’m not sure paying that much in fees is worth the earn rate. There aren’t many other benefits that will result in me retaining the card beyond the 12 month mark.

I have had two major interactions with ANZ customer service regarding the card, and both have been fantastic. ANZ also have Apple Pay, which is a bonus.

Overall, I do not believe the card is worth the annual fee.

I cancelled CBA Platinum credit card as this one was miles ahead with points per dollar, and the extra benefits such as being able to go into the Qantas lounge, etc, are excellent. The insurance is better and many other options are given.

The only downside is that, after the first year being free, the annual fee is crazy, so we plan to leave before getting stung, unless we can get this waived.

I am unimpressed with the recent poor service from ANZ while I was overseas recently in the US. I notified ANZ of my trip prior to leaving. However, they blocked my card on two occasions due to not realising I was overseas at the time, even though I had told them. I called using my mobile phone, which incurred roaming costs which they refused to reimburse. I have taken steps to cancel this card and never bank with them again.

I’ve earned a few free flights out of using our credit card for everyday spending. We put all of our spending on the card, then put our pay straight on it to avoid paying interest. It works a treat!

It’s a little annoying that you earn the main points using AmEx since not many places take it without surcharge, so if you aren’t careful it could end up costing lots more than it’s worth.

This is a credit card with initial massive frequent flyer points and travel insurance, but with very high annual fees. The annual fee is waived for the first year, and so one can get the frequent flyer points and then cancel.

It’s suitable for high spenders or those seeking high rewards. The card is part of my ANZ Breakfree package and in my case has no annual fees.

Good card. You receive 2 cards (both a Visa and American Express), which means it is accepted at most places. Fees are a little, but there’s good points earning for Qantas Frequent Flyer. I would recommend. Overall, I am very happy.

ANZ Black Frequent Flyer is a premium credit card suited mostly for frequent air travellers with air lounge passes and travel insurance included. The card also comes with 75,000 worth of Qantas Frequent Flyer points, which is equivalent to around $750 in gift cards.

I quite like earning frequent flyer points for everyday spending, although the annual fee is pretty high so you really have to use it lots for the points to be worthwhile. The AmEx companion card gets more points, but I often find there’s a surcharge for using it or it isn’t accepted. The Visa doesn’t give many points at all.

I’ve had this card for years and during that time it has changed from blue to gold to platinum to black. There may be better deals around, but I can’t be bothered to keep changing and I’m happy with this one.

I don’t really keep track of my frequent flyer points, so it is always a delight—like in November—when I can go and see a friend in Melbourne and fly more or less for free.

ANZ is solid and reliable—as much as any bank anyway—at one stage they told me about weird activity on my card in Europe and quickly replaced it.

I have this card purely for the Qantas Frequent Flyer points. It’s expensive, yes, but I feel the benefits outweigh the cost at this stage. The main reason I first got attracted and ended up choosing this card was for the 75,000 bonus points that were on offer. Also there are other benefits like free entry into airline lounges—domestically and internationally—and having no annual fee in the first year.

I am happy with this card at this stage.
