I know this was posted before, but that deal expired. Don't think there is a way to request for something to be un-expired?
Anyway, it got quite a few votes last year, so I thought I'd put it up again for those interested.

Description from their site:

With the Qantas Discovery Card, you earn 1 Qantas Frequent Flyer point1 for every $1 you spend on eligible purchases with your Card and an additional Qantas Frequent Flyer point for every $1 spent on selected Qantas products and services in Australia2.

There's no limit on the number of Qantas Frequent Flyer points you can earn3, and we'll automatically transfer your points to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account.
Extra points

Apply and be approved by 31 March 2012 and you'll earn up to 10,000 extra Qantas Frequent Flyer points, that's:
2,500 extra points the first time you spend on purchases on your Card5 within the first 3 months of becoming a Cardmember
5,000 extra points when you spend $300 on purchases within the first 3 months of becoming a Cardmember5
2,500 extra points5 after your first Card spend in Australia on selected Qantas products and services2.

[Mod] Edited expiry since offer has been extended to 31 March 2012.

  I remember this being popular last time… But am i missing something?
  1:$1 points on an Amex? It is usually at least double this.

  44 Days interest free… Can NOT find the interest rate at all!

  • 

    kiwipride on 14/12/2011 - 17:16

    Yep, my current Amex is $1=2 points.

    • 

      joannatan on 14/12/2011 - 19:26

      is it amex point or QFF point? is it 1 amex point equivalent with 1 QFF point?
      and do you pay annual fee on your current amex card?

    IIRC it's 20.9% from the paper version they spammed my mailbox with.

    Used to be 56 days interest free.

  I used this free card to apply for MyUS.com American Express no setup/yearly fee promotion.

  I signed up for this a few weeks ago, got all 10000 bonus, can use this http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/59407 to get the final 2500.

    modsec802 on 15/12/2011 - 10:42

    Did you get the points credited already? It seems to indicate they take some time. I need them for March for a OS flight upgrade.

      point always transfer once you got your statement, they do once a month

  Hoffo on 14/12/2011 - 16:05

  Doesn't AMEX charge between 2-3% as a transaction fee? A single FF point is usually estimated to be worth about 1% of purchase price. Not exactly my deinition of value.

  • 

    samige on 14/12/2011 - 16:19

    Nah, it's some places will tack on a % per transaction, JB for instance. Places like Woolies and Coles don't, so my groceries and fuel always go on it.

    Any place that tacks on a fee, I use a different card.

    This is a $0 annual fee card that can give you 10k points, for little more than most would do anyway.
    (I know a few people who have applied for this card, used it for their 10k points, and then canceled it.)

  Yes, hit the report button. The last deal was posted over a year ago, so good idea posting again.

    Noted, thanks.

    Well no. :) See the last comment.

    Still noone updated the expiry date on that so it's fair to post anew IMO.

    • 

      neil on 14/12/2011 - 22:02

      Ah OK. Hmm different links on the same website. Fair enough.

      I think we need to start a thread on Qantas FF strategies. Wondering if it's worth applying for this, then the Woolworths one, and others to gain a lot of points. Rarely fly Qantas, so would have to calculate points converted to gift cards. Wish there was a credit card (Australian) for United.

  T&C
  5.To be eligible for all or part of the 10,000 Qantas Frequent Flyer points offer you must be a new Card applicant who does not currently hold any of the Qantas American Express Card products.

  Does this mean that by having an ANZ Qantas frequent flyer Amex & Visa, I will be ineligible?

  • 

    coolsteps on 14/12/2011 - 22:53

    i think the terms are referring if you already a direct Amex Australia customer not to an Anz amex issued card. Tip you can also buy a lego toy plane at a Qantas shop for about $9.95 to get the final 2500 points. btw the BMW card is a better product having 55 days interest free.

      Jero on 14/12/2011 - 23:45

      do you know if the BMW card is still available? tried the other day and it linked me to the AMEX Gold card signup so i stopped.

      •

        Got my BMW one just over a month ago. It's a gold card, but without any gold card advantages that I can see (no insurance, no bonus points). Signed up because at least I get a point per dollar. Had I known that this deal existed, I might have gone for this one.

        Are they still giving out the Foreman grills?

      • 

        Make it so on 15/12/2011 - 12:01

        Nope… no grill unfortunately. In fact, no bonus offers at all. I applied because of the $30 gift card offer for coles/myer group (x2 for two cardholders, 2nd cardholder free).

• 

  modsec802 on 14/12/2011 - 18:28

  If your first purchase was over $300 on qantas.com would you get all 10,000 points straight away?

  • 

    Make it so on 14/12/2011 - 18:32

    Not sure, but it would be hard for them to make a case for not doing so, wouldn't it?

• 

  nicky100 on 14/12/2011 - 21:12

  As far as I know it is always like that for this card, I apply for it 6 months ago, get same deal too…
