Editor's Review: What I love about the ANZ Platinum card
ANZ has put its thinking cap on for its Platinum card. It does an excellent job at targeting the features people are looking for in credit cards that aren’t all about rewards points, with some genuinely worthwhile promotional offers that keep on giving. You’ll get high-end extras for a very low annual fee, and it's a fee you can avoid completely if you meet the minimum spend requirement each year.
I’ll go through each of the promotional offers and then its other bonus features.
$100 back. You’ll get $100 credited back to your account if you spend at least $2000 on eligible purchases within 3 months from approval. You’ll receive the credit within 3 months of meeting the spend criteria.
No annual fee. The first year you’ll pay no annual fee. For every year after that, you can avoid the annual fee if you spend at least $20,000 on the card on eligible purchases in the year before. If you miss the mark, you’ll pay $87, which still makes this a low-annual fee card.
I checked the ANZ terms and it states these exclusions for its promotional offers. It's always a good idea to read through the PDS to see the full list of eligible and excluded transactions.
$100 back offer: “Excludes specific purchases as set out in the ANZ Credit Cards Conditions of Use (PDF). Excluded purchases include, for example, fees, cash advances, cash equivalent transactions, balances transfers [premiums paid for ANZ credit card insurance], transactions for gambling or gaming purposes or reversed or refunded transactions and will not qualify.”
No annual fee offer: “Excludes Balance Transfers, cash advances, interest and fees. Refunds and reversals processed during the period will be deducted from your total Purchases (even if they relate to transactions in a previous period).”
Other perks
The ANZ Platinum has some tricks up its sleeve. Even though it’s a very low-cost card, it has premium features you’d normally pay 3 figures a year for.
First, insurances. You’ll get a range of insurances including:
- International and domestic travel insurance. ANZ has added limited epidemic and pandemic cover, and your eligible spouses and dependents are covered as well. Check the PDS for all the eligibility terms.
- Rental vehicle excess in Australia. This is a truly great feature if you're going to be using a rental vehicle (which includes mini buses and campervans under certain weight limits). You may be able to claim the excess if your rental vehicle is damaged or stolen.
- Purchase protection. This insurance covers items you bought using the card that are lost, stolen or accidentally damaged, giving you a refund of the original purchase price. There are plenty of exclusions and terms, so read the PDS to understand what you’re covered for.
- Extended warranty insurance. You may be covered for an extended period if an item you bought using the card breaks down outside of the manufacturer’s standard warranty. For example, if you bought an oven with a one-year warranty, your card will offer another year's warranty on top. Exclusions and limits apply.
- ANZ Falcon and Fraud guarantee. ANZ has 24/7 fraud monitoring with ANZ Falcone and its ANZ Fraud Money Back Guarantee.
Next, there’s the concierge service. It’s not common to find this kind of feature on a “cheap” credit card, but that’s an extra ANZ does well across its card range.
The concierge service is available 24 hours a day to help you organise flights, itineraries and accommodation, and entertainment such as booking event tickets or restaurants, all the way to sourcing pet grooming services. If I may say, more people need to use this hoity-toity service, especially if you want to feel like Mr Sheffield from The Nanny.
What's not so great
There are hoops you need to jump through to get the most out of this card. To get the best deal, make sure you can meet the $2000 spend requirement for the $100 credit back promotion, and that you’ll spend $20,000 on it each year (without stress) to avoid the annual fee.
The interest rate on purchases is on the higher end at 20.99%. You’ll want to make sure you’re paying off the balance each month in full to avoid paying interest. That’s even more important if you’re going to use the 25-month interest-free promotional period.
The only other downside to this card is that it isn’t a rewards card. You won’t earn any points or get other freebies or discounts. It’s every bit the easy-to-use, low cost card with insurance perks instead.
Overall Rating
Even though its low annual fee should label it a "basic" card, the ANZ Platinum has a foot in the premium card category. It has excellent promotional offers on the table right now, plus premium insurances and deal-sweeteners like concierge services.
All up, these premium perks make this card worth looking at if you’re after your first credit card, or if you want to use freebies like domestic and international travel insurances or make good use of the interest-free period (which is one of the longest available).

With th e anz platinum credit card, what are the overseas transaction costs for both withdrawal of cash from an atm and purchses made with the card?
Hi Lynda, ANZ charges a 3% fee on international purchases on your card, and a $5 fee for withdrawing from overseas ATMs (and the ATM operator might charge a fee as well). Also remember withdrawals are immediately charged the cash advance interest rate, which is 3% of the transaction amount or $4, whichever is greater. Thanks Lynda!

18 December 2019This is an excellent platinum card, with terrific benefits for a reasonable yearly fee. It has no "rewards" programme but has full travel benefits for both international and domestic travel,including domestic car rental excess cover which is a rarity with most platinum cards. I have found the ANZ customer service staff to be excellent on the few times I have needed their assistance. I highly recommend this card, especially if you travel domestically quite often.
