    What is the minimum credit limit?

    • jedimaster on 19/11/2020 - 13:37

      last time i applied this card with $2k limit about 2 months ago

  • nightelves on 19/11/2020 - 10:57

    Last I check you can go as low as $1-$2k.

    This is Qantas Premium card, not Ultimate

    • jedimaster on 19/11/2020 - 13:38

      yeah did a copy paste from other deal so mixed it up. admin has corrected it now.

    This looks like pretty good value

  • JohnyEnglish on 19/11/2020 - 11:17

    existing amex card holders eligible?

    • CaptainHoltisDad on 19/11/2020 - 11:20

      From T&C: This offer is only available to new American Express Card Members. Card Members who currently hold or who have previously held any Card product issued by American Express Australia Limited, in the preceding 18 month period are ineligible for the bonus Qantas Points and Statement Credit offer.

    • jackwilk on 19/11/2020 - 11:46

      This is always the same issue.
      I have had Gold for a long time. Then got Platinum few years back, got points not a problem.
      I wonder if the same will be here….

  • localhost on 19/11/2020 - 11:34

    Any good ZERO fee cards for points?

    • nightelves on 19/11/2020 - 11:40

      Yes Westpac Platinum but you need be a Westpac customer. Easy to set one up online if you haven’t got one.

      • webtherapist on 19/11/2020 - 12:25

        Westpac Amex costs 50 per year now with Qantas Points

        • nightelves on 19/11/2020 - 13:24

          Well there was no mentioned that it had to be a Qantas earning cc. Just says a points earning credit card which is the Westpac Platinum rewards cc which is $0 annual fee and $0 rewards fee.

  • fLaMePrO on 19/11/2020 - 12:36

    How do the referrals work with this? If I apply via referral link do I get access to both bonus points?

    Never held an AMEX so considering signing up for this one just before the deal expires.

    • jedimaster on 19/11/2020 - 12:47

      You won't get the same deal via referral…only 40k points via referral link so best to apply using deal link

      • fLaMePrO on 19/11/2020 - 12:48

        Ok, thanks!

    Finally a card not offered by Citibank
    Oh and was approved instantly unlike Citibank's rejections without justification.

    Now to see who actually accepts AMEX

    • jedimaster on 19/11/2020 - 13:39
      +5

      Link it to paypal and pay all bills using Australia Post Billpay. I pay my council rates using it as well.

      AMEX acceptability has widely increased in recent years. Except Aldi :P

      • jsb on 19/11/2020 - 15:24

        Are council rates, bpay, australian post bill pay considered eligible spend in this card for points?
        Usually, these are excluded for every card I know.

        • Benjamin Dobell on 19/11/2020 - 17:04
          +2

          They're supposed to be ineligible, but I can confirm, at least in the past, that going credit card -> PayPal -> Australia Post Billpay -> Council seemed to sufficiently obfuscate the fact you were paying the council with your credit card.

          • jedimaster on 19/11/2020 - 17:07
            +1

            @Benjamin Dobell: with amex you can pay council rates and meet spend criteria. I have already done that on this card

            • Benjamin Dobell on 19/11/2020 - 17:13
              +1

              @jedimaster: My apologies, you're quite correct. From the terms page:

              Eligible purchases do not include cash advances, interest, fees and charges for traveller’s cheques and foreign currencies.

              So government payments are perfectly acceptable with this card without needing to jump through hoops.

      • sakg on 24/11/2020 - 23:31

        Is there a surcharge for these bills going through paypal

  • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2020 - 13:51

    Can’t find the foreign transaction fee? In the US most Amex annual fee card had no foreign transaction fees.

    Curious about this one.

  • clubhonda on 19/11/2020 - 14:49

    The challenge is how to spend 3k given most merchants dont accept AMEX?

    • Lewdannie on 19/11/2020 - 15:00
      +3

      Groceries and petrol
      All the major retailers will accept Amex these days. You are never going to hit 3k at your local coffee cart

    • clubhonda on 19/11/2020 - 22:04
      +1

      I don't understand why I would be negged. You can't buy Woolies GCs with Amex, so that leaves paying for petrol with Amex.I can't see myself spending 3k on petrol even in 10 years, much less months.

      • BobLim on 19/11/2020 - 23:16

        My Amex has always worked paying for WW GCs?

        • clubhonda on 19/11/2020 - 23:40

          Has it? They don't have the Amex symbol listed, only Visa and Mastercard.

      Is this a joke question?

  • LuckyDealer on 19/11/2020 - 16:56

    Amex Sucks, half of the places don't even accept it.

  • bluebluebird on 19/11/2020 - 20:06

    so a platinum edge amex card holder not eligible for this?

  • ck009 on 20/11/2020 - 07:35

    Is it just me or for everyone.

    When I navigate from the website amex.com.au>All Personal Cards> Qantas Cards> Qantas Premium it only brings up 30000 bonus points. When I tried to access the same page via referral link it shows as 40000 bonus points. Can someone confirm. I tried different browser but same results. Can't find the 80000 bonus points page unless I click on the link in this deal.

    • tomclancy on 20/11/2020 - 08:05

      You can see it on the Qantas page too:

        thank you for that…..am looking to score the referral points as my sister is looking to apply for this card…..maybe I should wait for a couple more days so that the deal is spread across all forms of application pages…..

        • aneil915 on 22/12/2020 - 08:33

          Did you end up referring your sister where she would get 80k and you would get the 30 bonus points? Mine only shows 40k points via referral link.

  • hhbb555 on 20/11/2020 - 16:14

    Is American Express Westpac Altitude Black Card counted as a card product issued by American Express Australia Limited?

      no

    Nice one. Applied for this yesterday (Thursday) morning, was instantly approved and the card was in my mailbox tonight (Friday).

    • TomGum on 20/11/2020 - 19:37

      Did you have the option to chose your credit limit? If so what was the lowest?

      • ujwols on 20/11/2020 - 21:14

        yes , lowest was $2000

    • ujwols on 20/11/2020 - 21:15

      wow , that’s blazing fast..hope it has your name printed on it :)

    • mb6 on 24/11/2020 - 16:45

      Do you have any other credit cards?

      • josh909 on 25/11/2020 - 08:44

        No - i closed my last card about 6 months ago after getting the sign up bonus.

  • smeng on 26/11/2020 - 07:29

    is this the cheapest annual fee credit card to get atm which offer the highest bonus QF point on sign up?

    • jedimaster on 26/11/2020 - 09:10

      Westpac offer also comes close with 75k qantas points with $50 qantas rewards fee

      • smeng on 26/11/2020 - 12:01

        Yea I just signed up for westpac 2month ago for 75k and I need another card to churn.

        Can't sign up with Citibank or ANZ for another year atm. Any recommendations cheers

        • jedimaster on 26/11/2020 - 12:23

          St George is the only other decent offer
          $99 AF but need to spend $1500 each month for 3 months. I got my wife to sign up as running out of cards to churn :P

          Else pay higher annual fee and look at NAB Qantas Signature, Qantas Premier Platinum

    Achieved the $3,000 spend yesterday and the 80,000 are already showing in my Amex account… I guess they'll transfer into Qantas au the end of the statement period.

      Amex is the fastest bank in terms of transferring points on meeting spend criteria. Love them for this and their cashback offers.

    • kgree92 on 30/11/2020 - 12:53

      Nice one! Did you get the cashback already too?

      • josh909 on 01/12/2020 - 07:37

        Yep, $200 credited - it will offset the $295 annual fee at the first statement.

        • kgree92 on 01/12/2020 - 08:00

          rightio is 295 or 249?

          • josh909 on 02/12/2020 - 08:36

            @kgree92: My mistake - you're right, it's $249

            • smeng on 03/12/2020 - 16:25

              @josh909: where did you spend the $3000, give me some ideas lol

                @smeng: I had a heap of work expenses so it was easy for me.

  • Drakesy on 01/12/2020 - 13:40

    • josh909 on 02/12/2020 - 08:37

      I received my card in the mail the day after I applied (Sydney)

  • kgree92 on 02/12/2020 - 23:15

    What are people spending on? Thinking that it might be difficult to meet the $3k requirement in 3 months lol….

    • smeng on 03/12/2020 - 16:12

      Please tell me where i can spend Amex at lol

    • volkauno on 03/12/2020 - 19:17

      paying bills (use paypal linked with QFF card), online transaction, groceries… for someone with family 3k in 3 months is not even issue

      • smeng on 04/12/2020 - 08:12

        don't have many bills to pay this quarter, but i managed to spend some on coles giftcard promotion yesterday thanks

  • ArnoldSchwarzenegger on 04/12/2020 - 12:53

    Has anyone with an existing Amex card tried applying for this card and still got the bonus points?

  • ripprind on 04/12/2020 - 21:27

    Do I still have to pay $99 to join QFF?

    edit: already found other ways to waive QFF signeup fee
