    Nice! Hopefully stack with the 'occasional' 120k points bonus offer from AMEX that some people are reporting

    I've been waiting for this to roll around again!

    Thanks @VantageXL

  • Takemymone3y on 01/02/2024 - 19:39

    So just to confirm, I can register now and wait till my 12 months are triggered (in March till last points earnt from a credit card) and then be safe to apply and be considered as a 'New Customer'? Am I right thinking this? Thanks

    • yoyo6 on 02/02/2024 - 15:02

      ts&cs says you need to make first purchase on the card prior to 31 May

    • crumbo85 on 01/02/2024 - 22:33

      I got confused as well looking under the offers page, then I realised there’s a “register” button at the bottom of ops link and that’s what registers you for the offer haha

      • Davie-1 on 02/02/2024 - 08:12

        Thank you!

  • 9hcpz on 01/02/2024 - 19:46

    wonder if they count Amex Charge card MR => QF as a previous qantas point earning activity?

    • 9hcpz on 21/03/2024 - 16:56

      applied a new QF branded card from NAB, first QF points credited (from credit card) on 20 Feb 2024, bonus 20k got credited today 20 Mar 2024. Not bad!

  • dwhes on 01/02/2024 - 19:47

    Do secondary cards count as earned? Was about to refer my wife to the Amex 100k card. This would be a nice little bonus. She doesn’t have any credit cards to herself but does have a secondary to my anz black.

    • siberry on 01/02/2024 - 20:00

      If she hasn’t had points credited to her QFF from a CC it’s fine

      • dwhes on 02/02/2024 - 07:43

        Thanks

        • spriggy on 05/02/2024 - 10:35

          Won't points earned by secondary cards count towards the primary card holder's account? Or is it the act of registering for a new secondary card in your name that triggers the 20k bonus?

  • hanofee on 01/02/2024 - 19:47

    Which card five 130k points?

    The 20,000 extra Qantas Points is available to new Qantas Points earning credit or charge cardholders only. Members must not have earned Qantas Points on a Qantas Points earning card into their Qantas Frequent Flyer account within the past 12 months from offer registration to be eligible<

    that would exclude so many people

    • Kevinchen on 01/02/2024 - 21:32

      wonder if this applies only for Qantas points credit card or including Bankwest Qantas Transaction Account?

      • nobbobb on 01/02/2024 - 22:53

        Curious too…

    • hash88 on 02/02/2024 - 14:02

      This is why I took a break from Qantas point credit cards and switched over to KrisFlyer miles for the last 2 years. Now that I recently cancelled my last KrisFlyer point earning card, I'm jumping back to Qantas points with this offer.

      • MrThing on 02/02/2024 - 14:10

        as they say "why not both"

        • hash88 on 02/02/2024 - 16:49

          Read the listing terms and conditions. If you held a qantas point earning card in the last 12 months, you're INELIGIBLE.

      • DavidX on 02/02/2024 - 20:26

        What were you using for KrisFlyer miles?
        The options all seem pretty dull given the Amex devaluation.

        • hash88 on 03/02/2024 - 01:05

          I racked up over 400k KrisFlyer miles through Amex Explorer and Citi Prestige bonus offers.

      Maybe if you haven't received any credit card points on your Qantas points yet, you are eligible. Register and tell us.

    • BugsBunnyAUS on 01/02/2024 - 20:03

      Me too. I've registered anyway in hope.

      I note it specifically mentions credit cards, I have had a Bankwest Transaction account with debit for 3 month that has posted points, so I don't think that'll be a problem either.

      • cook99 on 01/02/2024 - 21:52
        +3

        Note: To be eligible for the extra 20,000 Qantas Points, you must be a first-time cardholder or not earned a point on a Qantas Points earning credit card in the last 12 months.

        It specifically says credit card in their note, so if they try to say a transaction account voids eligibility they would have a tough time defending

  • lars06 on 01/02/2024 - 20:22

    This is probably a dumb question, but has anyone ever had luck applying for any Qantas card whilst unemployed? Good credit and good assets just no income at the moment

    • redfox1200 on 01/02/2024 - 20:35
      +4

      How are you going to pay for the card with no income

      • lars06 on 01/02/2024 - 20:57

        Savings. For the bonus you only need to spend a few thousand

        • redfox1200 on 01/02/2024 - 20:57
          +2

          Most of these cards have an income requirement of 75k+

        • johnyiu on 03/02/2024 - 13:56

          As an ex-bank worker….

          Sorry but the answer is "no/unlikely"

          Not saying the banks or myself wants to be cruel to you or anything. '
          Its just because under ASIC rules/law, credit provider are bound by a criteria called "responsible lending", just like a bartender needs to complete a course named "Responsible Service of Alcohol" (RSA).

          That's why when BNPL started, without credit assessment, many people (users) and competitors gone crazy and controversial.

          Without money inflow to approve unsecured lending (credit cards/personal loan) even with the low $500 credits, getting approval without income stream the opportunity is minimal. (Probably not with BNPL world)

          If any of you are about to retire or your parents/relatives are about to retire, please please please remind them not to cancel their credit cards or at least get all their credit cards sorted/approved before they submit their resignation.

      They'll very highly likely want to see an income coming in sorry….even retirees with millions in assets struggles to get approved for credit cards

      • lars06 on 01/02/2024 - 21:26

        Yeah I thought as much, thanks. I was just wondering if anyone had managed to get through on a card (potentially with lower bonus)

    • frogduck on 01/02/2024 - 21:12

      Do you know if I had a nab card, but not Qantas in the last few months if I'd be eligible for bonus points (and this bonus)?

      • Bangers on 01/02/2024 - 21:16

        This offer is only for Qantas points earning credit cards.

        • frogduck on 01/02/2024 - 21:49

          Sorry meant I had a non Qantas NAB card which I cancelled, so if I got the card you have do I get the bonus Qantas points with the card?

  • tierrorize on 01/02/2024 - 21:22

    FYI unless I'm mistaken, there's a separate offer for Qantas Business Rewards credit cards, for those of you who may be eligible for those. Terms look pretty similar with a 20,000 point bonus, but you need to go to a different page from the OP's.

    https://www.qantas.com/au/en/business-rewards/exclusive-offe…

  • Brakus on 01/02/2024 - 21:26

    Do you need to apply for the card through the qantas site to be eligible?

    Point 5 says to make eligible spend in 30 days. Any idea how much one needs to spend?

  • GnarlyKnuckles on 01/02/2024 - 21:52

    20k is a lot of points. Given that Qantas has a 'budget' of QFF points they can dish out, this 'deal' is essentially a large kick in the teeth for loyal/long-term QFF members; which will of course, devalue those customers' hard earned QFF points in the longer term.

    In short, this 'deal' punishes loyal/long-term QFF members.

    Yet another 'epic failure to read the room', Qantas.

      Every bank and business rewards new customers better then existing ones.
      Banks: Credit card, accounts, mortgages
      Insurance: never renew, get a new quote
      Business: sign up or first purchase rewards

      Loyalty is not rewarded at all, so you need to adapt to take advantage of all this.
      Hate the game, not the player.

    Is it possible to createba new qantas account, then once points reveived transfer to your main account?

  • coathanga on 02/02/2024 - 11:03

    How do you activate this deal if you have already gotten a credit card within the last month? Haven’t got any points form it yet and reading through the comments many are in the same boat but have ‘registered’ anyway?

    • Ibz on 05/02/2024 - 11:07

      Just activate it by following the link. Then it will display a list of cards for you to apply to. Ignore that. Finish your monthly spend and once you pay your balance, you'll get Qantas points on your account. Qantas doesn't know the order or events so you will be credited the 20k on top too.

  • KaitoKid1412 on 02/02/2024 - 11:44

    I had a look and got confused. What would be the best non-Amex one (got rejected last year, perhaps due to churning habits, but I only did about 2-3 in the year)?

    Applied (1 week ago) and approved prior to this date (2 days ago), although have yet to received the card. Hopefully I'll still be able to cash in on this bonus. Otherwise it'll be a bummer to miss out by a few days..

    • shift6 on 04/02/2024 - 23:50

      The email is generic, and is worded along the lines of 'registration'. In my opinion, receiving the return email is not a guarantee that you are eligible.

    • Munners1989 on 08/02/2024 - 09:09

      How long did it take for you to receive the email? It's 4 days and counting for me.

    Did this last year from Finder if not mistaken, didnt get any.
    Wife is not the first timer to receive Qts pts, but definitely more than 12 months if not years, so im not sure where/who/how to follow up

    • shift6 on 04/02/2024 - 23:36

      As the promotion involves 'extra Qantas Points are offered by Qantas', I would say that Qantas are the ones to follow up with, not Finder. You should have traceability of an enrolment email with subject 'Finder exclusive for first-time cardholders (Membership # xxxxxxxxx)'.

  • TasJacks on 04/02/2024 - 15:52

    Does ANZ FF Black consider as a Qantas earning card. I closed it early August. So I won’t be eligible for extra 20k points if I get a new card right?

      If referring to joining the Qantas Frequent Flyer program, there are plenty of ways to join for free. Easiest way imo is through Woolworths' Everyday Rewards. Ref: https://www.pointhacks.com.au/qantas/how-to-join-frequent-fl…

      Whether it's worth it or not - really comes down to your spending and whether you find benefit or value in these kind of rewards programs based on your spending habits and redemption goals, whether they be gift cards, free/subsidised travel, premium travel, etc.

      • Bujji11 on 05/02/2024 - 09:03

  • WonderingYowie on 04/02/2024 - 20:55

    Do we need to apply for the credit card through Qantas link or can we apply for credit card through their website and when it credits points it'll automatically add the 20,000 (provided you've activated)?

    • Toffcuz on 05/02/2024 - 06:41

      When I did this a couple years back, you could apply on the website separately and it still worked. Unless things have changed it should work fine

  • Munners1989 on 05/02/2024 - 11:18

    Will be interesting to see how this ends up stacking with the 120k Amex deal. It should result in 140k points but the terms and conditions state that there is a 130k max for new card holders so i wonder if they will cap it at that. Still awaiting the 'activation confirmed' email from Qantas.

    • roadeh on 05/02/2024 - 11:54

      I read that as the card itself can reward a max of 130k points, which would then total 150k when stacked with this

      • Munners1989 on 05/02/2024 - 12:15

        Could be. Hard to know with these things.

    How long after receiving first set of points from credit card do we receive the bonus 20,000 points from Qantas on top? Says up to 12 weeks, but does anyone have a more accurate idea?
