The card comes with complimentary overseas travel insurance (limitations and exclusions apply), and  no foreign transaction fees on overseas purchases, whether made online or in person.

This card is a winner of an award in the 2022 Mozo Experts Choice Travel Money Award in the Platinum Travel Credit Card category.

Key features

If you have debt on another card, the Bankwest Qantas Platinum Mastercard has a 2.99% balance transfer offer for the first 9 months, but beware that it reverts back to the 19.99% purchase rate at the end of the offer. 

What's more, new customers can earn up to 40,000 Qantas Points when you spend $3,000 on eligible purchases in the first 90 days and an additional 10,000 Qantas Points if you keep the card open for over 15 months. This is for a limited time only, and other fees, terms and conditions apply.

The Platinum card has an annual fee of $160. You will be able to use your Platinum card wherever MasterCard is accepted worldwide.    

You will earn 0.60 Qantas Points per $1 spent for the first $2,500 you spend each month and 0.3 Qantas Points per $1 spent after that. You can also earn points quicker by having up to three additional cards. If you're not already a member of the Qantas Frequent Flyer Program you will receive complimentary membership valued at $99.50.

If you travel overseas regularly you will benefit from the overseas travel insurance that comes free with the credit card. As a platinum card holder you also won't pay any foreign currency exchange fees on purchases which compared with other cards that charge around 3% on all purchases, will save you money whether you are shopping online or while you're away.

Bankwest is also allowing customers to pay off purchases with their easy installment purchase plan.

Any catches

Just the usual warnings for any credit card holder. Set up automatic monthly repayments to ensure that you don't miss a payment and get lumped with a $25 late payment fee.

Like most credit cards, if you withdraw cash using your card, you will start paying the high 21.99% cash advance rate immediately.
