The very first credit card from Qantas Money, this card is aimed at frequent flyers, with plenty of rewards value including the ability to earn Qantas Points for domestic and international spending, as well as a heap of travel benefits including 2 single-entry Qantas Club lounge passes per year. There’s also the opportunity to snag up to 80,000 bonus Qantas Points in the first three months!
In fact, it's great reward value was part of the reason the Qantas Premier Platinum Credit Card took out a 2022 Mozo Experts Choice Credit Card Award for best Qantas Frequent Flyer Premium Credit Card.
The Premier Platinum Credit Card from Qantas Money packs solid rewards earning power for frequent travellers - especially those who love to fly and shop Qantas.
The card comes with some pretty typical features for a rewards card, including a 19.99% p.a. purchase rate, 21.99% p.a. cash advance rate and a $399 annual fee ($349 in the first year).
Where the card really comes into its own is with points earning for Frequent Flyer members and spenders who travel often. Points are automatically credited to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account which means you’ll have to either already be a member, or sign up to get the card (sign up is free for cardholders).
Here’s how points earning breaks down:
1 point per $1 on spending in Australia, up to $10,000 each month (0.5 points per $1 after)
1.5 points per $1 on international spending (don’t forget about the 3% foreign exchange margin!)
1 extra point per $1 on eligible Qantas spends, including Qantas flights
Plus if you sign up before 1 May 2024, you can also snag up to 80,000 bonus Qantas Points. How do you get your hands on these points? Once approved, you'll receive up to 80,000 bonus Qantas Points for spending $3,000 or more on eligible purchases within the first three months. For big spenders, this is a great chance to boost your points stash!
But that's not all... There are also a bunch of great benefits on offer for jetsetting spenders, including complimentary travel insurance, two complimentary single-entry Qantas Club lounge invitations, a concierge service to help you snag things like event tickets and restaurant reservations. Plus, when you book domestic Qantas flights through the concierge with your Premier Mastercard, once a year you can cash in on discounts of up to 20% for you and up to 8 people travelling with you.
If you want to clear some lingering credit card debt when applying for a Premier Mastercard, you can do so with the 0% p.a. balance transfer offer for 12 months. Just make sure you have a plan in place to clear your debt in that time, since afterwards, any leftover balance will be charged interest at 21.99% p.a.
Unsurprisingly, the Premier Platinum credit card is likely better suited to spenders who travel often and love to shop Qantas. The annual fee and interest rate are reasonably high, so it’s great for big spenders who’ll get enough value from the travel freebies on offer to justify the cost, and pay off their balance in full and on time.
Don't forget that when you use your points for a Classic Flight Reward with Qantas, taxes, fees and carrier charges also apply. For example, at the time of writing, a return Economy Classic Flight Reward from Sydney to London is 120,000 Qantas Points plus $724 in taxes, fees and carrier charges. Keep in mind this extra cost might change depending on when and what you book.

I was scammed by a merchant and Qantas Customer Support canceled my credit card and issued a dispute this was in January 2023. No resolution was given at all and I received a new credit card. So six months later I see a charge on my new credit card from this initial vendor how the heck does this happen a brand new card and a scam charge. All Qantas could then do for me was again cancel my card and issue a new one. Dah that is what they offered in the first place now I am in debt to this scam for $1000.

I have been waiting for an up-to-date frequent flyer(Qantas money) card for a year. I called again a month ago only to find that a card had never been ordered so ordered one then. I have called again today to check on the whereabouts of the new card only to find it still hasn't been ordered. No one at Qantas could advise why their service is so poor.. I also have a platinum credit card which has been defrauded twice. It appears their security is not really good either. Definitely would not advise using any Qantas products

Horrible service. Worse app and online website. If you can work out how the app shows balances without a PHD in mathematics then you must be superhuman. (2 people using 2 cards from the same account). Even trying to close the account took a month or more. Then near completion of closing i received a bill for 20 cents that you cant actually pay these days ... dont get me started on that one.

The points earn rate looks good on paper until you realise that every spend they can't figure out and characterise properly is deemed eligible. It's an absolute rort. And also, in this day and age to have a cc that doesn't support Apple/Samsung/Google Pay is a joke.
