    ANZ Platinum Review

    Review published: 1 February 2012
    Review updated: 27 April 2012

    What's hot:

    • 0% on purchases and balance transfers (first 6 months)
    • No annual fee (first year)
    • Full range of complimentary insurances

    What's not:

    • 20.99% cash advance rate

    Mozo snapshot:

    With a crisp 0% balance transfer rate, 0% intro purchase rate for the first 6 months and a desirable $0 annual fee for the first year, the ANZ Platinum card is an enticing offer for any credit card seeker. Although the ANZ Platinum doesn’t come with rewards points, the credit card makes up for it with travel benefits, complimentary insurances, platinum concierge and other services such as eDine, ANZ wine club and Visa entertainment.

    Key features: The 0% balance transfer and intro rate for 6 months is a great offer for anyone hoping to save a bunch on interest. Once the intro rate period ends, the standard purchase rate is 19.39% but there is a generous 55 interest free day period as long as you pay the balance in full each month.

    There are also travel benefits with the ANZ Platinum credit card. If you spend over $500 in one transaction on travel related expenses such as airlines, hotels, travel agents and online travel bookings you can get a reduced interest rate of 9.99%. After the purchase has gone through simply call ANZ and organise the discounted rate or take up the installment option. You can choose monthly repayments of instalments over 6, 12 or 18 months at the reduced interest rate of 9.99% p.a.

    After the first year there is an annual fee of $87 but you can get this waived if you make at least $20,000 worth of eligible purchases in the previous year. This might seem like a lot to have to spend to save on an annual fee but you can get up to nine additional card holders free on the card to help out with the spending!

    The complimentary insurances included with the ANZ Platinum card are truly high end. You'll receive essential overseas travel and medical insurance, car rental cover, 90 days purchase security insurance, extended warranty and interstate flight inconvenience insurance. And the Visa entertainment feature will introduce you to the exciting world of special events (Fashion Week Australia), exclusive merchandise packages and home entertainment products.

    Who it's good for: You must earn a minimum of $50,000 and be an Australian citizen to apply for the ANZ Platinum card. It is a great credit card for travellers or entertainment seeks who want access to travel and special entertainment events.

    Any catches? The balance transfer and purchase rate offer isn't available to existing ANZ credit card customers.

        Just a typical credit card with high interest if not paid off monthly. Unfortunately for ANZ I do pay off my card every month so they don't make a cent of interest off me. A very convenient card to have as long as you are disciplined.       Full review

        The platinum credit card is as good as you have money to repay the monthly repayments. Since ANZ introduced Visa Debit, I don't really foresee the platinum credit card lasting long in my books. But the big one is paying it off hahahaha which is what I'm in the process of doing. In the 5 years I've had it, I've not used any points as I don't believe you can use them that often unless you use your card to buy off their 3rd party customers which I don't as I'm not that type of shopper. Interest rates are exorbitant and overrated especially when you get charged for not having money in there which is a matter of making sure you do!!! But fees are a big problem when it comes to most of the Big 4 banks, I would advise most people to never have a credit card if you can avoid it....or at least have it for the time needed then cut it into tiny pieces and throw it in the bin....

        It's a credit card full stop. There's no difference to other providers. The interest rate is way too high and the yearly fee should be abolished. Customer service over the phone depends on whether or not you get to speak to someone who actually knows the product, and before you actually speak to a human being, you have to go through the never ending "press 1 for this, 2 for that etc etc." The only reason I have stuck with this product is that I have periodical/automatic payments arranged.
