Awful and even worse customer service
I transferred $5000 onto the card a week before travelling. I couldn’t activate the card as the number on the card was incorrect. The card was useless as I couldn’t get a new one before travelling. I asked for a refund and I was given $4400. So for giving them my money for a week I was charged $600 for the pleasure

Poor customer care! Website has serious problems!
I am not sure what has happened to qantas cash card! We used it beginning of last year overseas and had no problems! but now...worst service ever!! Cant activate a new card - keeps saying not an Australian resident or under 16 years of age-which is not the case! numerous calls ( put on hold for over an hour) only to receive an email saying problem had been fixed - but it hasn't. Still no response. The website keeps crashing - saying it has technical issues!
Will definitely not take the risk of using overseas now given such bad customer service. Now to transfer my money out....

What customer care
Used card on several recent trips with no problems but this .A disaster. Arrived in Europe and on day one card did not work Told at ATM card not activated Several calls to customer care said no problems but still no result. Then card must be faulty They might be able to transfer money to a cash exchange but nothing came of that.I was able to transfer cash to a back up card and requested a refund of my money on their card that did not work.Emailed a form to complete in handwriting and returned to them.This is not easy on the move so supplied in...Read more
fo on return email.No not good enough, must be handwritten form. Finally got home to Sydney, downloaded form and returned form and after 5 weeks got my money back OR some of it. To add insult to injury my initial deposit was con verted to Euro but when converted back at month later rates I lost a thousand which probably included MasterCard fees and loss of FF points NEVER againSimilar opinion?

Disgusting product and service
App (and website) keeps crashing. Gives useless excuses and keeps you from using your own money. Tried several times to rectify, however Completely ignorant and careless support staff. Unable to access money.
AVOID USING IF YOU’RE TRAVELLING OVERSEAS

Left me stranded
I have always used this card when travelling and never had a problem until my recent trip to Tokyo. On my last day I had booked a bus ticket to get me to the airport that I had to pay in cash but didn't have enough loaded on my card to make a withdrawal from the ATM so proceeded to do an instant load. I had already made two instant loads earlier that day but on this 3rd attempt it would not let me load any money. I had two hours before the bus came so called customer service. This took about 10mins to get through and then another 20 mins whi...Read more
lst the operator kept going back and forth leaving me on hold each time to find the problem. He concluded that it was because "apparently" you can only do one instant load per 24 hour period. But I had already made two that day so how is that possible? He could not explain that but insisted that the instant load is only for emergency use. Im pretty sure he was making this up as he went along. I have never read anywhere in the terms and conditions that there is to be only one instant load in a 24 hour period and to this day I still can't find this stated anywhere. I told him that this won't do as this will leave me stranded. His response - "I'm sorry, is there anything else I can help you with?" Not Good Enough!!! Customer Care it certainly isn't, he couldn't have given a damn about my predicament and after two written complaints I still haven't received a response.Similar opinion?

Zero service
Qantas Travel money team made an incorrect transfer/reversal from my travel money card back to my bank account. Over 1 week without my money and repeated chasing and follow up on my part and no one can tell me when I will get my funds back. Worst process and service ever, they don’t give a rats about their customers needs. This was their error and nothing has been done to resolve swiftly at their end. Avoid using at all costs!!

This product is so bad its almost a scam
Do not rely on this card unless you have back up funds you can access when it all goes wrong. I couldn't access the money I loaded before leaving Australia from an ATM in Tokyo (as it wouldn't accept the pin) so was locked from using the card as I had tried to enter the pin several times. The pin was correct btw! I contacted the call centre when I returned to Australia because I was unable to transfer the un touched funds back to my account and was told it was likely preventing me from the transfer because a replacement card had been sent to ...Read more
me (it would take 2 weeks to arrive) and the 3 digit security code on the back of the card would have now changed. I have been slugged $70 for my troubles (as they take their fee the moment you load the money) and I haven't touched a cent of the funds loaded. I still can't access MY money - the new card has arrived and the online system won't accept the new security code. I am floored that Qantas continues to damage its brand by being in partnership with this program.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Qantas Premotion
I wish i read these reviews before loading UK pounds onto my card. They have a promotion on if you load more than $5000 dollars onto your card you get two Qantaz club passes. I registered and loaded the money and never heard a thing about it. I rang them and i m told you dont get them till 6-8 weeks time. That is good as i am travelling tonight . I just hope i do not have issues like what i read hear . Kicking myself i did not read the reviews before hand and so many of them.

PIN Wouldn’t Work Overseas & Customer Service Non-Existent
Travelled to Singapore in May, a few weeks after Qantas Cash changed to Qantas Money. Had previously used my card in Hong Kong three years ago with no problems.
PIN number wouldn’t work - kept being given “Incorrect PIN” message. The first time I assumed I’d entered it incorrectly, and tried again watching the keypad this time, no go.
Retrieved my PIN via the app - which was an issue in itself, had to enter a security code sent to my mobile number to login, but my phone wasn’t picking up any local providers, so no text messages getting throu...Read more

Beware of bank fees
I loaded THB and EUR for a trip in May 10/19 fist experience was in Thailand where the ATM withdrew the THB transaction from my EUR. Then I noticed I was charged AUD for that and every subsequent withdrawl. That's around $10 AUD very pricey if you don't take out large amounts. In Italy where I used my EUR it was hard finding and ATM that would accept he card but they charged 3.5 EUR that's around $6.80 AUD per transaction. Qantas have promoted no bank transaction fees on withdrawls, better read the fine print its their own $1.95 AUD transaction...Read more
fee. They do however state that some banks 'MAY' charge a fee when withdrawing money overseas, yes that's very true and costly. Better to take cash you get a better rate and no fees. Lots of not so obvious terms and conditions backing this product up. Won't use it again it cost me hundreds of dollars in fees and headaches with ATM's just for the benefit of using it. By the way when i called Qantas about the THB,EUR,AUD issues they told me to contact the bank in Thailand.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

No CSV files download! What a rubbish!
Help and support says we can download our transactions with CSV files but when we called a support team, that function is no longer available. All we get is stupid PDF file and we can't copy and paste those figures to our excel spreadsheet.

Too good to be true
I thought the zero conversion and ATM fee would solve my problems. Loaded $50 to test the card and soon realised that not all Cuscal operated RediATMs with pin changing facilities are created equal. 3 out of 3 failed. Admittedly in hindsight 1 of the 3 did not have pin change capability. Qantas Travel Money were useless in directing me to a suitable ATM to change my pin and have no control over their 3rd party operated ATMs. If I can't do this one basic task before leaving the country, god help me if I have a problem whilst away with this card. No thanks.

What a joke!
Lost my card had to chase them and chase them to replace.
Despite their online recording says you can change pin online you can't.
It refers you to a Redi Teller machine and at that machine to do anything including just get a balance costs 2.50.
You cannot change the pin there either all you get is a balance or withdraw. I am sure if you could change your pin there they would charge you.
How does this card get a Canstar rating.

Continues to be the worst travel experience after a second try from 2 years ago. PATHETIC RORT.
I thought I'd give Qantas Cash a second time, event though it almost ruined our holiday 2 years ago. Call me a masochist.
This time, I loaded it with A$10,000 split between A4 and Euros, and travelled to Europe (Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Austria).
#1 NONSENSE: Well - it doesn't work in CROATIA. They don't have an exchange rate or some nonsense. So I've got to change it to Euros and then take a bath on the local exchange rate.
#2 NONSENSE: I tried to pay to pay for a motor car transfer from Dubrovnik to Montenegro. Well that was apparently ...Read more

Support for Lost or Stolen Cards
Had my cards stolen in Athens. Messaged Qantas twice and they got back to me 8 days later but did not answer any of the questions I asked. Since I have been back I have repeatedly tried to call them only to get a message to say that "they were experiencing a larger volume of calls than usual and please call back later". So I emailed them asking to call me and they have not responded. The Commonwealth Bank responded immediately.
If you were travelling alone with only a Qantas Card you would have serious issues. Think carefully about using this card

Impossible to activate card
Did my research online and found the Qantas travel money debit card to fit the bill perfectly to avoid ridiculous foreign currency conversion, transaction and, for the period of my upcoming travel, even ATM fees. I received my card within a week and that's when the fun started.
This thing is impossible to activate. I tried the Qantas Money Android app and all sorts of browsers on my home and work PCs. For some reason their system assumes I did not receive the card yet even though I most certainly did. Three calls to customer support and and sev...Read more

What a mess!
I have travelled recently in The United States and Italy. Sometimes my card worked, other times not. My pin was rejected, so I got a new pin. It worked, and then it was rejected. I got a third pin which worked for a time and then not. I found my original pin would then work, but then not. So I am now home with a lot of unused money on the card.

Don't bother!
Waited 30 days for it to turn up, now I have to download verification form and take it to the post shop during work hours because it won't accept my driver's licence or passport. I am travelling in 2 days and most definitely will not have this card activated in time. Qantas you can shove your poor excuse for a travel card!

Biggest Rip Off In The History Of Banking
I saw their ad that the card has 0% international transaction fees and also you earn qantas points on top as well when you purchase overseas or online in foreign currency. Sounded too goo to be true but I said Ok lets try it. I loaded the card with 1500 AUD to purchase a ticket online which was in Indonesian IDR and when I checked the exchange rate on that day it was around 1400 AUD. I used the card and I saw with surprise that it has charged me 1520AUD, $120 more than what it should have charged me, even if I used a normal credit card with 3...Read more
% transaction fees it would have been $42 extra to pay 1442. I could not believe this, so had to call them several times escalated the matter and even went all the way to AFCA for complaint but AFCA also useless they said they haven't done anything illegal or wrong simply their exchange rate is far worse than others, I said what the hell does that mean this is MasterCard it should follow any other MasterCard rates globally, you mean I have to go and check every single card to see what rates they want to charge and get ripped off so there is no standard norm of rates? how could one card charge you almost 10% transaction fees due to their rate and claim it's 0%!!!! try to get away and put this crd in your drawer forever.Similar opinion?

Does Qantas cash card have any fees
2 answers
No, doesn't
Frequent Flyer
Technically it doesn't, however they give you poor exchange rates which make it much more expensive then using your bank credit card. It is the same as buying money at the airport, usually 20% worse than at a suburban office of the same company.

This is the only contact form I have found. I am a lifetime member of Qantas Club and have been trying to log in to my apparently dormant cash card account. Changed pin when requested at least twice. Still cannot log in. QC No: 0042515
