Yes, you can change to this card for free but without the bonus points.
Without bouns points make this deal pointless
But why no bonus points? I don't have any existing credit card with them?
Sorry I thought you already had a package with them.
If you are purely after Qantas points than the better deal is probably the Qantas Premier card - 100,000 points for a $149 annual fee or the ANZ Black card which gives 120,000 points for an annual fee of $425 less a $150 cash back (essentially an annual fee of $275).
You get 100k with the Qantas Premier provided you hold the card for 1 year.
Premier card is $299 annual fee after the first year
The premier one is $149 first year for 70k points iirc. You have to hold it another year and pay $299 to get the last 30k.
Offer commenced 18th June 2018
I would wait for $0 fees with bonus points - I got Westpac $120k points and St George 80k points for $0 annual fee. $295 seems steep,
Thanks for posting though, good to keep up with all the deals. No doubt all the banks will start posting deals after new year to entice new card holders. Not many deals over Xmas as they knew you would spend regardless.
I’d expect a raft of deals coming in around mid-January with waived fees.
Is that based on experience?
I am waiting for a black card to come around with a waived fee - have several expenses due in February.
Nay I’m not an experienced card churner so Others may have a more informed opinion - but given all the offers dried up just before Xmas I’d expect that with CC spending dropping off in mid Jan they’ll all be looking to entice more punters to get cheap credit.
Edit: you can get the Westpac Card with no fee in first year here plus 60,000 qantas points with spending requirement of $3k

Sorry OP going off topic a bit
Yeah, but that is the platinum card. And since there is 12 month exclusions for bonus points, I want to wait for a black one before jumping onboard.
No fee first year but there's $50 Qantas Rewards fee for the Altitude Platinum.
Hey Powls, here's the first deal to come up - as we suspected, middle of the month and the deals start coming in again - St George, same points with no fee vs the one here.
I suspect a lot of people have jumped on this St George deal already as it's been around for about 3 months (albeit the deals expired and then extended each time).
Great deal for those who haven't though. Still holding hope that NAB or ANZ comes out with a first year no fee card soon.
What's the deal here? Isn't this the normal offer for this card?
I heard as of today that with the banking problems that new card applications will need to "prove" that applicants can pay off the full limit of cards they apply for. ie someone with "free cash" of $500 a month can only get $13000 limit card.
So YMMV when applying.

When I try to apply online I get a Maintenance Period page. It says to please check back again soon.
Pleasantly surprised - my Bonus points for this came in the first month (at the same time as my first statement - so before I'd even paid it)
Got this card and had the Qantas points credited to my QFF account. Then I called up to cancel the card, and they refunded my annual fee back. Anyone else experienced this? I can't see anything in the Terms and Conditions, worried that the QFF points might be "returned" also?
I saw in another thread ANZ is hard to be approved for.
Is NAB considered the same?
Does anyone know if this will be free if we have loan with them?
