Credit Card Offers St.George Amplify Signature: 150,000 bonus Amplify Points (expires 30/4/25)

[lovestotravel]

So I have applied for the current deal on this one

150,000 bonus Amplify Points^

When you spend $12k+ on eligible purchases.

Passed the initial check, verfied my income and now waiting...

I haven't applied for a new credit card in over 10 years, so let's see if they approve me ..

 

[lovestotravel]

So despite verifying my income online, they then wanted 2 x payslips

Then they wanted a current account statement for my home loan as they stated the details they could see where different to what was entered.

See what other hoops they want next

Never had so much paperwork to apply for a credit card before

Has everyone found that the bonus points apply instantly after hitting the spend criteria? I’ve got about 20k points in the account now however the bonus is yet to appear.

I would be interested in any recent data points too.

appeared about 48 hours after I posted that. I did send them an email and they responded with “we’re please to inform that your points have already posted”. Unsure if this means “already” as in they’d already been posted, or the Filipino use of “already” meaning “I just did it for you”.

Does this integrate with xero as my CBA card doesn't

Just got approved for the Amplify Signature.

Just wondering with "Eligible purchases do not include interest, fees and charges, cash, or ATM cash advances, cash equivalent transactions, gambling transactions, a purchase from or payment to a local, state or federal government or government related agency,"

I'm about to move house, does anyone know if I will earn points towards the bonus spend on my payment to Tenant Login for a bond payment?

I wouldn’t think so. Westpac group is pretty strict on government transactions now.

Can you Bpay or bank transfer? Use SNIIP or something and it’ll count.

My purchases went from Pos Authorisation to showing as a balance on my card after a couple of days. The points were not showing up on my internet banking but I noticed that this figure said it was my points balance 'as of two days ago'. I clicked through to redeem points, and my full serve of points including the sign-up bonus showed there as available.

I might be bias, but I'd use Sniip for this @Cryzak

You'd get full points on your credit card including government payments and Sniip transactions add to your minimum spend amount to earn points.

Just checked and NSW Rental Bonds (BPAY Code 209999) is already an approved biller.

In case you're wondering how this wizardry works, it goes a little like this: Sniip uses a two legged transaction. The first leg debits your card card as merchant for the bill amount, plus any relevant processing fee (and does not involve the BPAY Scheme). Then Sniip makes a BPAY payment on the second leg of the transaction and you get full points (and your minimum spend).

Thanks guys.

You could BPAY so I was looking at Beem It as that has 0% fees and I use it for DEFT rent payments usually but max transaction per day is $2k and I dont think RBO allows multiple transactions for a bond payment.

I'll look into SNIIP. Cheers

Received my card earlier this week. I already need to make a payment on it as I've just about used up my limit.

For those that have the card, is it just the 16 digit credit card number that needs to be used for the payment? And what's the Bpay biller code?

Thanks in advance.

Bpay code is 9779 and yes, the card number.

BPay code is 9779, and yes it’s just the number on front of the card for the CRN.

For this card, is the exclusion period inclusive of the qantas amplify card?

Yes, unlike ANZ, there is no differentiation between different types of cards at StGeorge.

I would caution against BPAY to meet eligible spend criteria . Ive got caught recently, thinking that paying the yearly family Health Insurance would straight away meet the $4k minimum spend criteria, for my new Westpac card. Unfortunately it doesn't, confirmed with Westpac CC and re-reading the fine print. If I had rung the Health Insurance company and payed over the phone would have been OK

I 2nd this. I was caught out with Westpac and had to do the spend again.

Yes, sorry, that’s not what I meant (and I didn’t word it well). More suggesting that is Bpay or bank transfer is an option then use a service like Sniiip to do it (not Bpay it yourself)

Anyone else has any issues logging in to the amplify rewards site to redeem points? Getting a message that the details don’t match their records which makes zero sense given the points balance shows in my internet banking and up until yesterday I was able to log in.

Anyone had issues with priority pass visit not loading. I got the free membership but the free visit has not loaded.
