  For each statement cycle a points cap of 2,500 Qantas Frequent Flyer points applies when using either or both cards. Bonus points do not count towards the points cap.

    10,000 points is "For each statement cycle a points cap of 3,750 Qantas Frequent Flyer points applies when using either or both cards"

    5,000 points is "For each statement cycle a points cap of 2,500 Qantas Frequent Flyer points applies when using either or both cards""

  1 Qantas Frequent Flyer point per $1 spent on purchases - Earth Platinum American Express® Card
  0.5 Qantas Frequent Flyer points per $1 spent on purchases - Earth Platinum MasterCard®

  Not good for when amex isn't accepted.

    The bargain here is the bonus 10,000 points for $0, not the card features.

  im a little confused….. so you get the points on the transfer from another credit card debt?… or on purchases…. doesn't seem clear

  The 10,000 bonus Qantas Frequent Flyer points are not available with any promotion other than a special "balance transfer rate" available at credit card application.

    This also in the description:

    These bonus points will usually be transferred to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account within 14 days after your Credit Card statement has been issued, after your first eligible purchase transaction using either of your Westpac Earth Platinum Credit Cards.

    The balance transfer bit is basically you can transfer balance and also get the bonus points = double win if you like transfer balance.

  Is 10,000 bonus Qantas Points anything special? I thought that was the norm and 30,000 was special, or 50,000.

    Its special for me if I don't pay any annual fee for the first year, just close the card within 12 months and get the 10K points for nothing.

      Do you realise credit applications (such as this) negatively affects your credit worthiness?

  Finally… a CC offer.

  Theres also the Altitude Plat Rewards card on offer - this one is also free for the 1st year and gives you 2 points per $ Amex transaction. And the cap is 7500 points a month. Not bad.

    Looks like it, though the standard one still has 5000 points.

  Looks to me that the 10,000 points come with the Altitude card instead of the Earth and it's Altitude points rather than frequent flyer points. Based on a $100 myer gift card,it's more expensive to get the gift card with altitude points than frequent flyer points. According to my calculations, the 10,000 point is worth about $59. Probably not worth it.

  Westpac updated the website around 7pm last night 02/07. The bonus points seems to have dissapeared.
