Taking out a 2023 Mozo Experts Choice Award for best Qantas Frequent Flyer Credit Card, the Qantas American Express Discovery credit card is a stand-out in the world of rewards credit cards with no annual fee and lots of rewards benefits. Earn 0.75 Qantas Points every time you spend $1 on everyday purchases, and 1 additional bonus point for every $1 spent on selected Qantas products and services - that means you could potentially earn up to 1.75 points for every $1 you spend on eligible purchases.

Key features

The Qantas American Express Discovery card, from 2023 Mozo Experts Choice Rewards Credit Card Provider of the Year American Express, has a high interest rate of 23.99% but no annual fee. The Qantas American Express Discovery card comes with top Amex benefits like fraud, purchase and refund cover, plus global customer service.

When it comes to earning rewards points, there's no cap on your points earning power and you can earn:

 - 0.75 Qantas Point per $1 on regular spends (except on spends with government bodies, where you'll earn just 0.5 points per $1 spent)

 - An extra 1 Qantas Point per $1 if you're spending with Qantas in Australia

Just remember, while it's great to earn points, make sure you pay down your card in full month to month, otherwise you'll face that hefty interest rate on your spending.

Earn Qantas Points and enjoy $0 Annual Card Fee.

Who is it good for

If you simply want a low maintenance rewards credit card and plan to pay off your balance in full each month, the Qantas American Express Discovery Card would suit you perfectly. Points are automatically credited to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account, so you don't have to worry about keeping track of rewards points.

question icon
Any catches

With a high interest rate of over 20% this is not a credit card to carry debt on. Be sure to set up those automatic payments or you'll find a $30 late payment fee added to your statement. There's also a $6 dishonour fee.
