    Damn, this is an even better deal than the AMEX one recently. What's the standard earn rate for this card, any fishhooks?

    • baishishun on 15/10/2021 - 12:49

      You can get both and get 900 air points lol

        Very tempting……

      They recently changed it from $75 to $85. So not nearly as good as the $59 for Amex but the annual fee is quite a lot less and there's benefits to with Mastercard.

      • joshtnz on 15/10/2021 - 13:14

        Yeah, the AMEX has been accepted at way fewer places than I'd expected.

      • burnt toast on 15/10/2021 - 13:19

        What sort of benefits do you get with Mastercard?

  • jackvdbuk on 15/10/2021 - 13:01

    minimum 10k limit on the platinum for the 400 points. Not sure how easy that will be to be granted ..

    • jjjj on 20/10/2021 - 08:00

      Quite difficult so far, especially when you already have an AMEX

  • Amosbosshogdog on 15/10/2021 - 13:01

    This looks very good!

    Does westpac do retention offers if you say you’ll cancel?

    • simch on 15/10/2021 - 17:47
      +2

      not from my experience. Retention seems to be purely an Amex thing (probably because they're American)

      • LYuen on 15/10/2021 - 18:24

        No retention offer is purely a Kiwi thing…

    Keep in mind there are new AML rules and some banks/financial providers may take you through the full process - including asking for proof of everything you declare. This includes proving your current balances of assets and liabilities. Expect a 45-60 min process.

    • burnt toast on 15/10/2021 - 15:27

      Yep, I was just going to post this as I just hopped off the phone. They go through EVERYTHING! Student loan, Kiwisaver, buy now pay later stuff, need 3 months bank statements etc etc. It definitely felt more like I was getting a home loan rather than a credit card lol. They're also asking me to go into a branch… and the closest one is half an hour away, and is only open two days a week for two hours! They do also ask about your financial plan if things turn pear-shaped which I kinda actually like - it's felt good to be asked those 'what-if' scenarios.

      I guess it's all be worth it for the four hundy?

        yikes, not sure if i wanna go through this process now lol

        • Amosbosshogdog on 18/10/2021 - 09:58

          If I had known all this before I applied, I would have skipped this deal I think.

          • cartwheelz263 on 06/11/2021 - 15:26

            @Amosbosshogdog: Similar experience - Have banked with them for a while now for everyday banking , salary goes in there as well - mortgage however is with a different bank. Just under an hour on the phone after they wanted to "have a quick chat about if the card is right for you", asked EVERYTHING, requested proof of EVERYTHING as burnttoast said above, also asked to go into branch to verify identity….? Anyway, 2 days later they called back and said the application was declined due to not being "servicable" whatever that means. Weird as our Assets >> Liabilities on this end as we are very frugal; the SO seems to think its because the mortgage is not with them or something idk lol

              @cartwheelz263: That is really frustrating to hear. The worst part is, they're keeping a copy of all of that information you submitted (for comparison against "future" applications) and it appears there is nothing you can do about it either.

    • dennistoto on 15/10/2021 - 16:43

      Yea similar experience. Should be easier if you bank with them but still jumping through the hurdles. Admirable their conducting due diligence even though I've had the anz equivalent and always paid on time in full for over 7 years. AMEX was easier but not widely accepted. One day we'll get to use these airpoints we're accruing.. right..

      • burnt toast on 15/10/2021 - 17:03

        Use them on the airpoints store! Some pretty good stuff on there now

      • universe on 18/10/2021 - 10:24

        Just a heads up, the new processes shouldn't care if you're an existing customer or not, you must go through this for any line of / new credit / you seek after September 1st 2021. Technically, if you've already done that recently for another line of credit with that provider, it should be faster the second time as they will be 'updating' their financial snapshot of you. Unfortunately, they must keep /and/ compare your last request for credit, against your next request for credit. They do not delete this data, ever. The privacy concerns on this from a data mining point of view are out of this world. I cringe at the idea of one of these banks or credit card companies suffering a data breach.. It will be your entire financial snapshot on the line!

      Good point! Sliipped my mind to mention that as I have an account with every single bank in NZ and a few overseas.

      Was a 15min process for me, card will be in the mail next week.

      • universe on 18/10/2021 - 10:31

        That is interesting. Had you recently (within the last 6 months) applied for any other credit with Westpac? e.g. Do you currently have a line of credit or mortgage with them? If you don't, they should have put you through the full onboarding experience.

      • saxasianguy on 18/10/2021 - 10:53

        Yes same here. Account with every single bank in NZ as well as in China. It's just so convenient

        • BananaMeadow on 18/10/2021 - 21:29

          That's pretty smart, what do you do with all the cards you get from each bank?

  • Saint on 15/10/2021 - 16:01

    Does anyone know if you get the airpoints as soon as you spend that $1000.00 or do you only get it after a whole year like those typical cash back cards?

    • Sanketh on 15/10/2021 - 16:13

      Likely next billing cycle

    • aih-lun on 15/10/2021 - 16:14

      As per the T&Cs:
      Bonus points will be paid 5 weeks after the spend criteria has been met.

      • Saint on 15/10/2021 - 16:22

        Thanks for that, I was looking for that in the TC but i must have missed it. Its a good deal then.

  • aih-lun on 15/10/2021 - 16:38

    To be clear,
    It is 200 Airpoints for the Westpac Airpoints Mastercard which has a Annual Fee of $70
    It is 400 Airpoints for the Westpac Airpoints Platinum Mastercard which has a Annual Fee of $125.

    Paid every 6 months, so you can cancel within 6 months and only pay half of the Annual Fee for the Card you Select.

    • simch on 15/10/2021 - 17:46

      thanks for that. Have edit with this further clarification.

  • Joe on 03/11/2021 - 19:39

    Sorry slightly off topic Westpac hotpoints redeem - what is the most effective way , purchases or redeem hotpoints Pay/ past purchases via Westpac ?

  • sonyxperiageek on 08/11/2021 - 13:22

    Wow! I feel as if they wanted way too much info… was a bit unnerving actually, especially as someone mentioned above if one of these guys suffers a data breach (it's a matter of when not if) then boom….

    • universe on 08/11/2021 - 19:30

      Right? That is exactly how I feel about this. It is like "financial nudes", and you're entrusting a commercial entity not to have employees, contractors or poor executive management to allow them to one day see the light of day by "accident".
