First time looking into Qantas frequent flyers and the various posts about Qantas points and benefits that come with them so I've done some quick research and narrowed it down to these 2 cards.
Also If you're a Woolies member (got my phone plan with them), you can actually avoid the $99 Qantas frequent flyers membership fee altogether and join for free through here! as I needed to have a frequent flyers number prior to applying for a credit card
I noticed Qantas themselves have a bonus 20k point offer if you get a credit card that can tie in with their frequent flyers program before end of July so thinking about giving it a go.
Any advice would be appreciated (if there's better offers with other cards, please let me know).
Key points about the cards:
Both cards come with x2 complimentary lounge invites for the year
Not planning on accumulating any interest or spending money I don't have (planning on paying in full with each statement period so interest doesn't charge), really just interested in the perks.
- minimum credit limit of 15k
- 90,000 points for the first year if 6k spent within 120 days .
-$300 annual fee ($250 card fee and $50 Qantas rewards fee) but it's also $100 less as there's a promo for current Westpac customers (so $200 all up for the first year).
-0.75 points per $ spent on eligible purchases (couldn't figure out what defined eligible purchases).
-mininum credit limit was way less than the above, like 3k onwards
-75,000 points for the first year if 3k spent within 90 days.
-Pricey $450 annual fee, but you also get $450 in Qantas flight credits to use with each annual renewal so it evens out I guess .
-1.25 Qantas points per $ spent on eligible card purchases
Thank you !
I love them, but worth pointing out not everyone takes Amex.
