I can't see any issue with that.
It's the people that have 4 different credit cards, a harvey norman card plus a host of store cards. You find those type of people just move money around between the cards to show that they are making a payment but never seem to pay anything off.
Missing a few payments won't even show up on your credit check, its only if you default and or are made bankrupt.
On bank related stories, a few years back NAB had an offer that if you opened up a new savings account and deposited $20 in to it they would send you a brand new sherrin. The account fees were $2 per month so myself and a heap of mates all opened accounts and then waited for about 6 weeks for the sherrin to arrive and we then promptly closed the account. A new sherrin ended up costing us $4 in account keeping fees.

From what you're saying it sounds like in my position it would be worth doing with virtually no risks attached. I'd only be looking to have the ANZ one open for a few months at most.
I work on the CBA Awards CC program. If you ever have any questions specifically relating to Awards, let me know.
I think the most appropriate for me would be the Platinum Awards CC with Qantas FF Direct.
40,000 bonus Qantas points assuming I apply by 3 July 2015 and spend $500 by 31 August 2015 which won't be a problem at all.
Any recommendations in particular?
Jeremias do you need to use the card before you get the frequent flier points? Or just open the account?
As above, with CBA I'd need to spend $500 before 31 August 2015 which will be very, very easy.
