Earning Qantas Points with a credit card

A Qantas Points credit card earns points into the Qantas Frequent Flyer program on your everyday spending, either directly or through a bank program that transfers to Qantas. For Qantas flyers, that can turn routine spending into flights, upgrades and other rewards.

Sign-up bonuses and earn rates

Qantas cards often advertise a large sign-up bonus for meeting a minimum spend in the first few months. The ongoing earn rate, the points per dollar and any bonus categories are what determine the points earned beyond the first year.

Annual fees and points caps

Higher-earning Qantas cards usually carry higher annual fees and may apply monthly points caps. The fee and any cap sit against the points realistically earned and the value of a Qantas flight to the cardholder. Carrying a balance erodes the benefit quickly.

How Qantas points cards compare

The sign-up bonus, ongoing earn rate, annual fee and points caps are the four figures that separate them. Cards can be compared side by side, alongside Velocity points cards and the credit cards hub.
