Jetstar credit cards

No matter which Jetstar credit card you opt for, you’ll have up to 55 days to pay off your balance before it starts attracting interest. A few things to remember about this interest free period:

It only applies if you’ve paid the previous and current month’s balance in full

Interest free days don’t apply to cash advances

The interest free period begins when your statement cycle does - not when you make a purchase. If you buy something halfway through your statement cycle, you’ll have less than 55 days to pay it off before being charged interest

There are a number of fees and charges that might apply to your Jetstar credit card. These include:

The annual fee

An annual fee for each additional cardholder

Cash advance fees

Foreign transaction fees

Over the counter transaction fees

A fee for switching rewards programs if you chose to do so

On the Qantas classic MasterCard option, a fee might apply to opt into the Frequent Flyer rewards program

But who wants to pay all those fees? Not us! Check out our guide on how to avoid credit card fees.

The monthly minimum repayment you must make on your Jetstar credit card depends on what your balance is. If you owe less than $50 on your credit card, you’ll need to pay the whole balance as a minimum. Otherwise, you’ll need to pay either $50, or 3% of the total balance - whichever is greater.

Here’s a great offer exclusive to Jetstar: Fly Interest Free. By spending $300 or more on your Jetstar credit card in a single transaction at jetstar.com, you’ll qualify for 6 months interest free on that purchase! Sounds great right? The fine print is that you will still have to make minimum payments each month, so keep an eye on your statements.

You can choose between either Jetstar Dollars or Qantas Frequent Flyer for your rewards program. If you opt for Jetstar Dollars, your points can be redeemed for Jetstar travel vouchers, while Frequent Flyer points can be redeemed in the Qantas store, or on Qantas flights and upgrades.

Overseas travel insurance

Travel cancellation cover

Purchase security cover

Extended warranty

Transport accident cover

Looking to manage your credit card debt with a balance transfer deal? Good news - you can use any Jetstar credit card to do it! You’ll be able to catch your breath and pay off your current balance with a zero interest period - just keep in mind that after that period, any leftover balance will start to attract interest at the regular rate.

The amount you can transfer to your new Jetstar card is your credit limit, less $500.

Yes! What good would this travel friendly card be otherwise? Your Jetstar credit card will work wherever MasterCard is accepted, anywhere in the world.

There are a number of things you can do to minimise the risk of credit card fraud when you use your Jetstar credit card. Mostly, it’s important just to be aware of how you use your card, and what details you’re giving out. When you use your credit card you should:

Keep your PIN a secret. Don’t write it down!

Cover your PIN when you enter it into an EFTPOS machine or ATM

Don’t give out any credit card details via email

Review your credit card statement regularly. If you see any suspicious transactions, contact Jetstar straight away.
