Hey OzB,
Landed myself a new job, which requires me to fly interstate about twice a month at least.
Now I've never held a credit card except the 28 degrees card.
What's the best card for points?
Please note, I've never really travelled so have almost zero clue about the best cards/reward points.
If the OzB community could recommend or point me to the right direction of which card to use, that would be awesome!
Thank you in advance.

To be honest, I have no clue as of yet. I was just advised it would be a good idea to get a CC with points.
I guess when I do start, I'll have an ask. Any recommendations though?
I was thinking points that could be redeemed for holidays down the track.
if you need to book yourself and claim reimbursement, then get a CC with the best points for the airline you will book with.
I don't quite understand why your work wants you to get a CC with Points, if they are paying for your flights. Anyway, with the limited info here, I would fly Virgin, and have the Amex Platinum Charge card giving free Virgin Lounge, plus other advantages.

If you fly virgin, Amex velocity plat. Offer to book tickets yourself and get reimbursed.
Finally got new details, pretty much, I will be booking everything myself, so I have a choice of whichever airline/points etc.
So tossing up between Qantas or Virgin, however I'm usually use to flying Virgin. Anything else to maximise points?
Another question worth asking is what airline is your preferred when travelling overseas Eg Singapore Airlines/Virgin or Qantas.
do they book the flights or do you?
are you able to specify the airline you want to fly?
you can always apply for a CC with lounge access however once you get into the gold status with the airline it wont be as useful anymore.
my work books me on Qantas each time (unless i specify i want virgin) and I have gold with both of them so it doesn't matter, i just get more points.
