Their response to me was that if I was to move other accounts to them they may be able to look at waiving it. I wasn't interested in doing this so cancelled it.
Their loss. Not mine.

Yep it's plastic, and I've already had them replace it because the top layer was peeling off.

Mine's still intact - I must not be using it enough 
When I think about it I'm either using it for online stuff and taking it out of my purse for that or I'm using it for paywave, not a lot of insert or swiping going on to damage the card. Or maybe it's just a woman's touch that keeps it tidy

This is weird Westpac market them as most prestigious card in NZ, yet still plastic
They should offer metal card as an option, I'm willing to pay extra for it
Amex centurion just look so much better, although not widely accepted in NZ

I am seriously considering dumping Westpac but waiting to see what happens with the interchange situation in NZ

I put about $75k through the ANZ card in the last year.
I really want to close it on principal but unfortunately the alternatives are equally unattractive at the moment.

I asked ANZ to waive it and they said it wasn't possible unless I transfer my cheque/mortgage or similar to them.

Got onto ANZ through their online 'email' thing this time instead of talking to a real life 'Personal Banker'.
At least that gives me six months to find another programme!
~75 more status credits with Kiwibank - is that the main benefit over ANZ?
We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
However, we are happy to waive off 6 months of account fees for you of
$75.00 as a oneoff.

Really big sidetrack - but does anyone know if ANZ Qantas has ever offered signup bonuses in the last 1-2yrs. I want their ANZ visa but was hanging out for a sign up bonus but I don't think they're very forthcoming so I may as well just go ahead and apply?
Last I could find was Aug 2014 and Dec 2015?
