    100k Qantas Points,
    75 Status Credits
    2 Qantas Lounge Passes

    They can do better then that. All fairly useless for the foreseeable future.

      yeh and really only 80k points unless go into 2nd year and cop another annual fee

  • +4

    It used to be 120k points for cheaper 1st fee.

    • +4

      Yep, not as great as the previous deal.

      Here is the previous deal for reference, if anyone is curious.

      Also, corgis are life <3

    • Kinda. That was 1500/mo for 6 months though, so more annoying to meet.

      • I had the previous card and meeting the $1500 amount for 6 months was a pain but they were offering 120,000 points at the time (20K per month upon minimum spend been met).

  • Apple Pay compatible?

    • +1

      No Apple Pay, I personally can’t wait to ditch this card as soon as I collect all my bonus points from the previous deal because of this.

      • I'd wait a bit. There's a good chance they'll add it. It's actually a Citibank card with Qantas branding etc, and Citibank has Apple Pay supported.

        I've done the math as well vs other cards. It's worth the $1/point even considering the annual fee.

    • Nope, I have a Qantas CC and no ApplePay.
      Looking to change at the moment simply because they dont support it.

    • Nope. I signed up for one with their last promo. Citibank issues the cards and it’s a pity they don’t have it in 2020!!

  • +5

    The previous deal did have a higher sped on $9k and no status credits. Actually $300 alone for 75 SC's is pretty good and gets you something similar to the earn you can get in Double SC promtions.
    Of course only useful right now, if travel resumes, or you are chasing lifetime status, which I am, but I'll earn it easily as soon as travel resumes, so not going for this offer.
    edit: or if you are Bronze and you anniversary date was last month or you just join up.

  • I'm extremely worried about my points balance. I have way too much with Qantas and have played the game with them for many years. Last year they eroded point values and soon I fear they will do worse. I think it will be an interesting couple of years ahead of us as they try to make excuses why points should be worth less.

    • use points to buy stuff off Qantas shopping if you're worried?

      • +1

        That is typically the worst way to get value out of points.

        • As opposed to your point value eroding?

          • @ballistykx: As opposed to business class flights.

  • +1

    Don't do it! Horrendous customer service, no apple or garmin pay, trash app and painful interest rules.

  • Who runs the show? Citibank? or Indue/Cuscal?

    • I signed up for the Qantas Premier credit card in 2018, and it was with Citibank.

      Not sure if it's the same now, but it should be

    • Citibank

  • -2

    Perhaps Qantas should focus on what they should be good at doing - running an airline.

  • I have this card and I like it because it its 1 point for every dollar spent up to $10k. Most cards i have in the past offer 1 point for every dollar up to say $4k, then reduces to .5 of a point per dollar spent. I estimate I get around an extra 50,000 points annually by the generous spend per point.

    What does sh*t me though is the lack of android pay support. Is there any other cards out there that offer similar points per spend, low annual fee and support android pay??

    • +1

      No. Visa/Mastercard interchange fees can no longer sustain 1 point per dollar earn rates, so they are essentially subsidised by your annual fee, hence the capping.

      Your only option is Amex for uncapped (1.25ppd). For 1ppd Visa/MC, NAB and ANZ both cap at $5k. Macquarie at $4k.

      Westpac, St George etc. do allow 0.75ppd uncapped.

      How much of your spending can you put on Amex? If you can put a bit on Amex, you can use the Macquarie Black (1ppd up to $4000 for only $149 annual fee). You could also get the Westpac Amex+MC bundle. The Amex in that bundle also earns 1.25ppd uncapped, and the MC earns 0.75ppd uncapped. As long as half your spend is on Amex you'll break even.

      I suppose there's also the Qantas titanium that is 1.25ppd $10k cap, but that's hardly "low annual fee"

  • +3

    I find the the title of this post quite misleading.

    It's really 80k points for $299 Annual Fee

    "an additional 20,000 bonus points after your first anniversary of approval.", which means an additional $299

    • +1

      Don't forget the $5k spend too

  • I quit all my 450K points for Qantas and Virgin shop purchases a month ago. Averaged about a miserable 0.5 cents per point (probably around average acquisition cost) but better than nothing and nothing might well be future value, of Virgin anyway .. :-( .. !! Only nil annual fee cards in future for me .. if you're a NAB shareholder you can get a rewards card for nix.

  • I got this card on the previous deal for it ($1500 spend per month to get the 20K). I spent the $1500 in my final month, but didn't get the points. But the majority of the spend was on the last day of the cycle so a lot of the transactions are still 'pending' in the transaction list.

    Does that mean I missed the spend limit or do I maybe just have to wait till they are no longer pending ?

    • Never mind. Spoke to soon, hit refresh on the app and they appeared :D :S

      The 20,000 usually got added before the spend points

  • citi is the worst bank regarding CC application. Will never apply any of citi product.

    get rejected for the $6000 limit card. I have got a few $15000 limit card from other banks before and no credit card at the moment.
