With the Platinum card from the Bank of Queensland, you earn Q Rewards which you'll be able to redeem for a wide range of travel, flight and gift card options. As a platinum cardholder, you'll get platinum perks like free international travel insurance and concierge service. What's more, cardholders will be able to earn as much as 100,000 bonus Q Rewards Points when they spend at least $4,500 in the first 3 months.

Even better, the Platinum Visa Credit Card was the recipient of a 2023 Mozo Experts Choice Awards for best Premium Rewards Credit Card.

Key features

The Bank of Queensland Platinum has a high 20.74% purchase rate but if you pay off your balance in full each month you get 55 interest free days. If you've got debt to carry over, there is a handy 0% rate on balance transfers for 12 months (1% balance transfer fee applies) but this reverts to the cash advance interest rate of 21.74% so be sure to knock over that debt early while the interest rate is low.

If you're a regular overseas traveller you can get good value out of this one, as the card comes with free international travel insurance, extended warranty and purchase cover insurance. The BOQ Platinum card also comes with a guarantee pricing scheme, which will cover you the cost of an item if it goes on sale within 60 days from when you purchased it (as long a the price difference is greater than $75).

With the Bank of Queensland Q Rewards program cardholders earn 2 rewards points per dollar spent. Rather than directly linking points with an airline rewards program, with Q Rewards you can fly with any airline. You can also earn bonus points by shopping with BOQ partners. Plus, new cardholders will be able to earn up to 100,000 bonus Q Rewards Points for spending at least $4,500 on the card in the first 3 months from approval. Apply by 30 April 2024.

Who is it good for

As this platinum card is not linked to any specific airline program it would suit those who prefer to play it by ear with regards to where and with what airline they travel.

Any catches

While there is a 12-month 0% rate on balance transfers (with a 1% balance transfer fee), this reverts to the high cash advance interest rate of 21.74% if you don't dump your debt before that period.
