Expert review

The ANZ Rewards gives you a way to earn points per $1 spent and offers an annual fee of $80 – which is on the lower end of the scale for rewards cards. The potential trade-off, however, is that this card doesn’t offer any complimentary travel insurance or other premium perks that you see on cards with higher annual fees.

If your focus is more on rewards, this card offers 1 point per $1 spent on eligible purchases worth up to $1,000 each statement period, and 0.5 points per $1 after that. You also have the flexibility to use your points for rewards such as gift cards and merchandise, or transfer them to Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer, Asia Miles or Air New Zealand Airpoints. You can also use the ANZ Rewards to mobile payments by adding it to your Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay account.

How to apply

You can apply for the ANZ Rewards card online in around 5 minutes by filling out a secure application form via the ANZ website. Before you get started, check that you meet the following eligibility criteria and have all your documents and details ready.

Eligibility criteria

Residency requirement. Citizens and permanent residents of Australia are eligible to apply. If you are a non-Australian permanent resident, you must have an eligible working or business visa with at least 9 months remaining.
New cardholder. To earn the bonus points, you must be a new ANZ Rewards customer. This means you can't currently hold or have previously held an ANZ Rewards Black, ANZ Rewards Platinum or an ANZ Rewards credit card in the last 12 months.

Age. You must be at least 18 years old to apply.
Credit history. You need a good credit rating to receive approval for this card. You can get your credit score and comprehensive credit report for free through Finder.

Required documents

Personal details. This includes your full name, email address, residential address, date of birth, marital status, number of dependents and contact number. You'll also need to provide a valid form of ID, such as your driver's licence number or passport.
Employment details. This covers your current job title, years in the job, salary information and your employer's contact details. If you're self-employed, you'll need to provide details of your work, as well as your accountant's contact details. You will also be asked for documentation to verify these details, such as recent payslips or tax assessment notices.
Financial details. Provide details about any other forms of income, such as government payments, superannuation payments and savings. You'll also need to share details of any investments, debts and existing credit and loan accounts. As well as this information, you'll be asked to estimate of your regular household expenses, including rent or mortgage payments, bills and groceries.

Earn points per $1 spent. The ANZ Rewards card earns 1 Reward Point per $1 spent on eligible purchases up to $1,000 spent per statement period, then 0.5 Reward Points per $1 spent on eligible purchases above $1,000 spent per statement period.
