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, such as Velocity Frequent Flyer.

Card Details

The ANZ Rewards Platinum has a competitive ongoing annual fee of $149, and you’ll earn 1.5 Reward Points per $1 spent on eligible purchases up to $2,000 per statement period, then 0.5 Reward Points per $1 you spend on eligible purchases above $2,000 per statement period.

If you keep auto-redemption turned on, the earn rate is equivalent to 0.75 Velocity Points per $ spent on eligible purchases. That is subject to the minimum transfer amount.
