Credit card promotions—is there a catch?
With free AirPods Pro, ergonomic standing desks and thousands of miles raining down on us, you might be wondering: Is there a catch to all these freebies?
Truth is, there is one drawback to signing up for credit card promotions: You won’t be eligible for more freebies in the future. Well, at least for a year. Here’s how it works:
Banks and comparison sites like MoneySmart usually offer the best giveaways for new sign ups. Usually this is defined as people who either:
Have never ever owned a credit card from that bank, OR
Cancelled their card at least 12 months ago
If you’re thinking of gaming the system by cancelling your card and re-applying, tough luck!
Another thing to note is that you must hit the minimum spend to get your reward. If you’re really lucky, you’ll get your shiny new iPad or cashback immediately upon card approval. However, most banks require you to spend a minimum sum (say, $1,000 in the first month) and sometimes even fork out the first year’s annual credit card fee (goodbye, fee waiver!). After all that, banks will make you wait a few months before you can even smell the freebie.
So what’s the lesson here? Read the T&Cs carefully, and only sign up when you’re confident you can hit the minimum spend.
