        I'm not responsible for all of them by the way…

    • Not really, if you use your annual $450 QF travel voucher each year.

      • -2

        Many people won't though…

        Also, a Qantas Voucher is not the best value when booking travel.

        • +1

          Depends on many things; it's sweeping statements that have no value.

          • @chrism238: Qantas Travel have sweeping poor prices…

            • +5

              @jv: My anecdotal evidence is that the price I paid using the credit was the same as the cash price available at Qantas or anywhere else.

              I know others have had different experiences though.

              100K QF (which is $1000 when valuing points at 1c per point) points,

              $450 Travel credit which I tend to value at around $225 as clearly you could get the same service for cheaper on jetstar (usually),

              Lounge passes

              Means, for me, this is a decent deal.

              Not as good as when you got the $200 credit off the annual fee a few years ago but a deal nonetheless.

              As an existing discovery cardholder who's been waiting for an upgrade offer for a long time I'm hoping this new deal means that they'll be a bit more generous in offering discovery card holders upgrade deals.

          Some notes from my experience. The amex travel portal has rates that are typically on par with what you'd find on a travel aggregation site. However, because you have to use the portal, you cannot use point award flights, it has to be qantas, and it has to total a minimum of $450 you may find it does or doesn't fit your use case. My recent use case was using it to buy a ticket to Tokyo during the qantas sale, which showed up fine in the Amex portal, and I had no problem using the travel credit. If you don't plan on spending $450 a year with Qantas for a non-point awarded flight, don't get the card.

    Good luck to churners trying to get approved…

    • -8

      and good luck to their credit rating…

      • +4

        Your credit rating won't be impacted much by merely opening an account. We're not like the USA.
        If you fail to make repayments on time or too many open accounts, then your score gets devalued.

        • -6

          Your credit rating won't be impacted much by merely opening an account.

          It sure does…

          • +6

            @jv: score goes up or down but means nothing. more of a US thing

            • +1

              @ozbargainerlife1: that's mostly true. from my understanding US will solely use the credit score to make there decisions.
              Here they use your credit score in addition to your length of employment, length of residence, etc…

              @ozbargainerlife1:

              but means nothing.

              Until you try and get a loan…

    • Wonder what other card is worth. Can’t find a half decent velocity or qantas card in market with low annual fee and better benefits. Have done ANZ FF Black/ANZ rewards platinum/Virgin Velocity Flyer/NAB rewards platinum/Citi premier so far.

    • +2

      Care to share why? I've had this card twice over the past 3-5 years and never had any issues, in fact it's the card I consider the easiest to apply for (among my churning friends too).
      ANZ and Citibank on the other hand….

        I’ve had 5 qantas points earning credit cards within the last 12 months from 5 different banks all with bonus point triggers with minimum spends within a certain period of time. Whenever I apply for Amex it knocks me back because they don’t like credit card churners, they want customers that will hang around for at least 12 months, they see 5 credit cards in my credit check and they knock me back every time I’ve tried

        • No wonder Qantas is claiming an overwhelming demand and not that they don't provide enough free seats.

          If the RBA does what Qantas is doing, AUD will on par with JPY.

    • Yeah I stopped trying.

      Used to be easy as hell to get the AMEX bonus, did it at least 4-5 times over the years. Servicing it is super easy but I've been rejected 3 times over the last 3 years now - they're not interested in me any more/I am not profitable to them.

  • damn, just signed up to this with the 90,000 bonus instead of 100k

  • It's 90,000 points untargeted.

    How do I get targeted?

    • Click through to the link OP provided, scroll down to 'Get Started', you'll be redirected to the targeted offer on Amex's website.

  • "This offer is exclusive for the Qantas Frequent Flyer members who received the offer via Direct Mail"

    Dont need the card but will they check?

    • Yeah thats my q, not really interested if I don't get the points

  • My income is more than enough, but I get knocked back every time I apply for Amex (roughly once a year). I reckon I've churned them twice 3-5 years ago, but no approval since then.
    Do churn other cards though. Any tips or do I just accept a life without Amex? Cheers

      Have to wait 18months before applying from their T&C

  • Thank you for the offer. Unfortunately, there is a restriction requiring a non membership of at least 18 months to qualify. I contacted them directly to inquire further

    They wouldn't even budge one bit : (

    But saw this in the T&C, if you applied before 31st July

    The 20,000 extra Qantas Points is available to new Qantas Points earning credit or charge cardholders only. Members must not have earned Qantas Points on a Qantas Points earning card into their Qantas Frequent Flyer or Qantas Business Rewards account within the past 12 months from offer registration to be eligible. To be eligible to receive the 20,000 extra Qantas Points, members must a) register between 12.01am (AEST) 1 July and 11.59pm (AEST) 31 July 2024

    Knocked back last time as a churner (in Feb or March I think), just applied again - no immediate or provisional approval as with most other cards, just same as last time "we'll let you know in 5-10 business days". Suspect I'll be rejected again with no reason given other than "check you credit score" (which is excellent).

    • +2

      Yep, and they send you a paper letter to your home address too saying you’re not approved. Ike, just email me your crap news lol

    • +1

      Yep, the "we'll let you know" is a rejection coming via snail mail.

      They'll ask for payslips, etc. straight away if approved.
