ANZ is offering 100,000 extra ANZ Rewards Points plus $50 back to your new card for new cardholders of the ANZ Rewards Platinum who spend $2,000 on eligible purchases in the first 3 months from approval. This guide covers the earn rates, caps and benefits of the ANZ Rewards Platinum card.

New card. T&Cs, eligibility criteria, fees & charges apply (including annual fee, currently $149 p.a. ongoing).

The 100,000 extra ANZ Reward Points could get you $400 in eGift Card from Bunnings, Woolworths, Myer, David Jones, JB HiFi, Coles or Kmart.

You can also opt to convert the points into Velocity Points at a 2:1 ratio, or to KrisFlyer miles and Asia Miles at a 3:1 ratio. This means the current bonus point offer is equivalent to 50,000 Velocity Points or about 33,000 KrisFlyer/Asia Miles.

Digging into the details of the ANZ Rewards Platinum

The ANZ Rewards Platinum earns ANZ Rewards Points on ongoing spending, ANZ’s own rewards program. We like flexible points programs at Point Hacks – they allow you to earn points in a single program with the ability to move them to a partner program of choice (such as Velocity or KrisFlyer) at a later date.

Summing up: ANZ Rewards Platinum

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.
