Pros & cons

What's good

  • 120,000 bonus Qantas Points to start, worth around $1,440 at our 1.2c-per-point valuation.
  • 12 months at 0% p.a. on balance transfers, longer than the 12-month median (3% transfer fee, reverts to 21.99% p.a.).
  • Complimentary airport lounge access.
  • Earns 1.5 points per $1 on overseas spend.

Worth noting

  • The $349 first-year fee (rising to $399) is high for a Platinum card, where the typical fee is about $155.
  • The 20.99% p.a. purchase rate sits in the most expensive quarter of cards (the median is 18.99% p.a.) if you carry a balance.
  • Earns 1 point per $1 on everyday spend, around the dataset average.
  • The 1-point rate on everyday spend applies only to the first $10,000 spent each statement period, then drops to 0.5 points per $1.

Questions and answers

Priya14 May 2026

Do the Qantas Points I earn on this card expire if I don't fly for a while?

Credit Card CompareEditor15 May 2026

Qantas Points earned through this card don't expire as long as your Qantas Frequent Flyer account stays active. An account needs at least one points-earning or points-spending transaction every 18 months to stay active, and everyday card spend counts toward that.

Priya15 May 2026

That's good to know, thanks. Does an annual fee payment count as a qualifying transaction?

Credit Card CompareEditor16 May 2026

Yes. Any transaction that earns or redeems Qantas Points resets the 18-month clock, and the annual fee charge is a normal purchase on the card, so it counts.
