Our verdict

Offers a big 180,000 bonus ANZ Reward Points and $150 back, with a $375 annual fee.

Finder Awards winner

The ANZ Rewards Black earns the most points per $1 of any ANZ Rewards card, with 2 Reward Points per $1 on eligible purchases for the first $5,000 per statement period and 1 point per $1 after that. To give you an example of the value you can get from the 180,000 bonus points offer, you could redeem them for $800 worth of Woolworths WISH digital gift cards. Or transfer them to get 90,000 Velocity Points – enough for a return business class flight from Brisbane to Perth.

As well as Velocity, this flexible rewards program lets you transfer points to Air New Zealand Airpoints, Singapore Airlines Krisflyer or Asia Miles. You can also redeem points for statement credit or retail items. This card also comes with complimentary insurance options – including for international and domestic travel. Just make sure these benefits will give you enough value to justify the card's costs.

Pros

180,000 bonus ANZ Reward Points
$150 back on your new card
Up to 2 ANZ Reward Points per $1 spent
Complimentary extras including travel insurance and a personal concierge

Cons

Charges a relatively high annual fee of $375 p.a.
3% foreign transaction fee
Additional cardholder fee of $65 per card

The ANZ Rewards Black is a premium credit card with features suited to big spenders and earners. If you apply as a new customer, you’ll earn 180,000 bonus ANZ Reward Points and get $150 back when you spend $3,000 on eligible purchases in the first 3 months from card approval. That’s enough for around $800 worth of gift cards.

This card also offers a high earn rate of 2 ANZ Reward Points per $1 on eligible purchases up to $5,000 per statement period and then 1 point per $1 spent for the rest of that statement period. The value of your points, plus perks like complimentary purchase and travel insurance and the 24/7 personal concierge service, could help justify the annual fee – but only if you use them.

I am reviewing our credit card (with another bank) and currently we do not receive any Rewards programs. Can I apply for your ANZ Rewards Black Credit Card, would be wanting 2 cardholders. We pay our credit card off each month and use it extensively. Our income is from a self managed superannuation fund.

Hi there,

Your eligibility and chances of approval on this card depend on a range of factors, including your current debts, expenses and income. You’re best off contacting ANZ about your specific situation to see what your options are.

Best of luck!

Hi what income do you need for this card.

Cheers

Hi James,

ANZ doesn’t list a minimum income requirement for this card. But you will need to provide details of your income, expenses and other liabilities when you apply. As credit card providers in Australia have to consider your ability to repay the total limit over a 3-year period, it could also help to consider the minimum credit limit ($15,000 at the time of writing). Finder’s guide to credit card minimum income requirements also has further details if you’re interested. I hope this helps.

going on a short 3 day cruise melbourne to adelaide. i am 79. will the insurance attached to the card cover me

Amy Bradney-George Finder

November 03, 2023

Hi Dawn,

The domestic travel insurance on this card is only available if you have a return domestic flight booked as part of the trip, and may not be suitable cover for issues that arise on a cruise. If you want to discuss specific details of the cover, you can contact Allianz (the insurance provider) on 1300 135 271. You can also compare cruise travel insurance policies on Finder. I hope this helps.

Hi Garry,

That’s an important question to ask before you travel. You can contact the insurance provider, Allianz, on 1300 135 271 to discuss this with them directly so that you have the most accurate information. I hope this helps.
