No cap on points
0% balance transfer for 14 months
20.24% p.a. cash advance rate
With uncapped points earning potential, the Bank of Melbourne’s Amplify Classic credit card is a top low cost option that will put a smile on the face of anyone looking to earn Qantas points through their card.
Do you love earning Qantas points for making everyday purchases? Well then, the Amplify Classic credit card from the Bank of Melbourne could be the card for you, with an uncapped earning rate of 0.5 Qantas points for every dollar you spend and a $79 annual fee. You’ll even be able to earn double points when you make purchases with Qantas Frequent Flyer Program partners.
If you’ve already got debt on an existing card you’ll be able to make use of the 0% balance transfer offer for the first 14 months. If you do decide to make the switch, just make sure you pay off that debt before the balance transfer period ends, because the balance transfer rate reverts to the high 20.24% cash advance rate.
The card also features a 55 day interest free period for you to pay off any purchases (so long as you pay your balance in full each month), though it’s a good idea to keep on top of your purchases to avoid the 19.49% purchase rate.
Fancy taking the Amplify Classic credit card with you on your next holiday? As part of the Visa network you’ll be able to use it at millions of outlets worldwide, but just watch out for the 3% foreign exchange margin if you do use it overseas.
With it’s low annual fee, the Bank of Melbourne Amplify Classic credit card could be a good choice for anyone looking for a low cost way to earn Qantas points.
If you do plan to take advantage of the balance transfer offer, just make sure you pay off any debt within the 36 month period before the rate reverts back to the high 20.24% p.a. cash advance rate.

How do we calculate these points?
To work out the "Rewards value minus fees" in our Rewards Revealer we:
calculate how many points you'd get each year,
figure out how many flights or gift cards or cashback credits you could get for those points,
work out what that's actually worth to you,
take off the annual fee you'd pay.
More details:
Our calculations are designed to help you compare the value of different rewards schemes. To do this, we've looked at earning a one-way Sydney-Melbourne flight excluding taxes and charges, a return Sydney-London flight excluding taxes and charges, a $100 shopping Gift Card and $100 cashback. Most cards will also offer other rewards, which may be worth more or less than the ones we've shown.
We have made no allowance for bonus points for using your card at specific merchants, introductory offers or special offers. We have not assigned any value to instant discounts, insurances, ticketing and concierge services or other such benefits.
Rewards value calculations do not take credit card interest into account. If you do not pay off your card each month you may be better off looking for a card based on interest rates than on the value of rewards.
In products that have more than one card, a different mix of spend between American Express / Visa / Mastercard will give different results. Mozo's Rewards Revealer lets you choose the mix based on the way you would use such a product, and gives you tailored results.
We assume flights purchased with airline points are 'classic' or 'reward' economy seats with restricted seat availability. 'Any seat' rewards will probably cost more.
To compare the value of flight rewards, we sample online retail flight prices once a quarter based on the average price on a Wednesday 3 months in advance but outside NSW school holidays. For domestic flights we take the lowest available fare from each flight on that day from Qantas Red e-deal, Virgin Australia Saver including baggage and Jetstar Starter including baggage. We calculate the average price excluding taxes and surcharges for each airline, and also the average across all airlines (which we use when rewards are travel agent vouchers). For international flights, we take the lowest available fares on that same Wednesday from each of Qantas, Emirates, Malaysian, Etihad, Singapore, Cathay Pacific and Thai, assuming a return flight 2 weeks later, calculate the average price before taxes and surcharges and use this as our assumed cost of a flight on any airline.
Shopping rewards are based on $100 gift cards from a major national department store.
We make every effort to ensure our calculations are correct and up to date but make no guarantees.

Bank of Melbourne has never let me down. Its easy, convenient, ATM locations seem to be on the rise, and best of all the staff are all awesome. As a 22 year old it can be daunting to visit a bank where employees are generally much older, but Bank of Melbourne has amazing staff.

Bank of Melbourne have very up to date branches. They are comfortable and relaxing and don't look like a bank! Staff have always been friendly and helpful with their advice, without being too pushy or 'sales-y'. Our credit card is free with our home loan package and we do all our purchases through it, allowing us to accrue a bunch of frequent flyer points which we'll be using to fly to our wedding :)

The BOM branches are very personal and inviting with staff who are willing and happy to service your needs (with a smile). The lack of queues and personal attention is appreciated and there's a general feeling that you are the customer & that's important.
