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

From 7 June 2024, ANZ is making changes to its complimentary insurances for credit cards. For full details, please refer to the new insurance policy document from ANZ.

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.

Hi what income do you need for this card.

Cheers

Amy Bradney-George Finder

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.

With the ANZ Rewards Black card , do any restrictions apply to the travel insurance if my wife has a pre existing illness ( cancer ) . She has now been clear for 18 months .

Amy Bradney-George Finder

October 19, 2023

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.

Can I use the rewards black credit card to pay my mortgage every week?

Amy Bradney-George Finder

October 06, 2023

Hi Aaron,

Your mortgage repayments should always be made using your own money, not credit. If your goal is to earn more points, Finder has a guide on a hands-on strategy for using a credit card and an offset account that may be of interest. If you’re experiencing mortgage stress and need help with your mortgage payments, talk to your lender about relief options. You can also speak to a financial counsellor for free by calling the National Debt Helpline on 1800 007 007.

Hi Amy

I have an ANZ Rewards Black credit card, just wondering if I’m covered on a short domestic cruise, thanks.

Amy Bradney-George Finder

October 04, 2023

Hi Linda,

If the trip includes a return domestic flight that was paid for with your ANZ Rewards Black, or if you meet the other requirements and have a return domestic flight ticket, it’s possible there may be some cover related to cancellations, additional expenses and delays. But it’s a good idea to check directly with the insurance provider, Allianz, by calling 1300 135 271 or using the online form at https://travel.agaassistance.com.au/anz/travel-insurance. I hope this helps.
