Only worth it if you travel

published

This card has a very big annual fee of $450. You do get $450 Qantas Travel Credit. So if you don't travel very much then it's of little use to you. In our case we travel a lot so it's all good.

Maybe one of the best Qantas FF rewards card

published

The only down side is the annual fee is high and it can become credit to spend on flight for qantas only and spend at amex travel only. If you travel at least twice or more at annual basis probably this card is for you. Spending on this card is accumulating points 25% faster and auto redeem to your QFF monthly. Booking thru amex travel is easy and their customer service is brilliant, don't be shy to contact their CS team if you can't find the flight that you after online, and best of all they charge the same as any flight merchant (only that amex has coop with) offer at their website. The best of all, it comes with 4x lounge accesses (2x Amex, 2x Qantas). To get the QFF lounge access, you have to spend QF ticket direct from Qantas website.

Pretty good except for steep annual fee

published

The annual fee is $450 but you do get $450 to put towards flights (on the Amex website, which I havent tried personally). Used overseas, worked fine. Points go to your account every month automatically.

Great for shoppers

Negs: $450 annual fee. Pros: good sign up bonus points, good referral points, great in app offers. Great if you are in to shopping, the offers are enough to pay off the annual fee. + the points wasn’t adequately cover it.

A card that doesn’t cost a cent!

published

Annual fee offset by travel credit, essentially a free card. The cash back offers have proven handy. Good customer support and application process was a breeze. A great card to get you to your next trip sooner!

This is all you need

I have used this card for about 3 months. It has been good. Havent had any issues. I havent used this card overseas, i would prefer using a Travel card purely for security reasons.
Everything is online so transferring money between accounts is simple. The frequent flyer points is pretty good. i spend a lot, therefore i get a lot of points. Highly recommend

Quality card and effectively no annual fee

published

Never had any issues with this card. The Qantas points transfer automatically each month, and can be used for flight redemptions etc. The $450 annual card fee is returned as an annual credit to use for Qantas flights – so basically free.

Excellent for frequent QF travellers, good customer service

published

Great for QF/Jetstar/One Alliance frequent travellers and Qantas Club members, as substantial sign-up bonus and $450 flight credit each year (sometimes promoted with two digipasses to Qantas Club). The call centre staff are attentive and really helpful, have waived late fees due to customer contact. The app and website can be a little clunky to navigate with use for travel bookings, however worth using even purely as payment method for the travel insurance applied to relevant transactions and decent QF points accrued.

Great sign-up bonus, helpful support

published

I earned 100,000 bonus Qantas points on signup with a $3000 minimum spend, plus the card itself has a good earning rate. On top of that you can get 40,000 referral points if you refer a friend (like I did). Application process is really easy (almost too easy!).
Customer support has been great. Only thing to keep in mind is that the automatic repayments take a while to set up so it's worth making your first payment manually. However overall very happy!

Expensive but packed full of features

published

The big item is the fee for $450 is the card worth it? I say yes.
$450 flight credit (although can only been used once) offsets my fee.
Qantas points per spend is the highest available.
But the main benefit is the spend and save, lots of promotions during the year, but they seem to be getting smaller and smaller every year.
The card has apple pay, which I love and can never go back from.

Great card with solid benefits

published

Very useful card with great bonus point rewards, currently 100000 qantas points. Points are credited very quickly and I had no problems claiming the bonus points after the minimum spend. Lounge passes and travel credit also good.
Customer service also very good.
Cons are that Amex not accepted everywhere and high yearly fees.

Great credit card for earning points

Always had a good experience using amex credit cards. Great initial bonus of 100,000 points, however with an annual fee of 450 dollars. You do get that back with travel credit though
