How to apply

If you've decided the American Express Qantas Business Rewards card is the right account for your business, you can apply by clicking through the secure application form. For quicker processing, make sure you meet the following eligibility criteria and have all the relevant details and documents on hand:

Eligibility criteria

  • Minimum income. Your business must have an annual revenue of at least $75,000.
  • New card member. To be eligible for the introductory offer, you cannot currently hold or have held an American Express card in the last 18 months.

Card benefits*

  • 130,000 bonus Qantas Points. Apply as a new Amex card member by 13 January 2026, get approved and spend $3,000 on eligible purchases within the first 2 months from card approval to earn 130,000 bonus Qantas Points (terms and conditions apply). The points will be credited to your Qantas Business Rewards account within 8 to 10 weeks of meeting the requirements.
  • Qantas Points per $1 spent. You'll earn 1.25 points per $1 spent on everyday purchases, 2 Qantas Points per $1 spent on Qantas products and services and 0.5 points per $1 spent on utilities, non-American Express insurance policies and with government bodies. After the first 500,000 points earned on this card in a calendar year, the earn rate for everyday business spending goes to 0.75 points per $1 spent. Introductory bonus points don't count towards this and the other earn rates on the card remain the same. With this card you also earn 0.5 points for every dollar spent via the ATO when making tax payments. This can earn you a lot of points if you have a large business tax bill. Just keep in mind there's a 1.45% card transaction fee when paying with an Amex card.

Rates & fees

  • Annual fee. This card charges an annual fee of $450.
  • Additional cards. You can request up to 99 additional cards at no extra cost.

Hi Can we transfer from another credit card to qualify for Quantas points

Hi Shammi,


I’m not sure what you mean. The offer is only available for new Amex customers so if you already have a card you won’t qualify.

Hi

My husand and I are 2 directors in our company. When we get this card, I assume I need to register it in our business name and get 2 cards. I know the initial Bonus points may go to just one person’s Quantas frequent flyer account but how about later spendings?

Can each spender on their own card earn points towards their quantas frequent flyer account?

Thanks.

Hi MMon,


You’d have one Qantas Business Rewards account, which is where the points would go. But you’re able to make unlimited points transfers to any personal Qantas Frequent Flyer account. So you’d have no problem dividing the points up between you.

Can I also use the card for personal expenses in addition to business? Would I lose eligibility to the card if I did so? And how would AMEX know what is a business vs personal expense? Is there an annual check to see if you are still ABN/GST registered? Eg if i were to retire in a few years?

Hi Marty,


You will need to provide evidence of your business income and expenses to get this card, but once you have it, you could make personal purchases. Amex are not likely to monitor business vs personal expenses. However making personal purchases with this card is not recommended because it would make tax time very complicated: you are not legally allowed to claim personal expenses as a business deduction, so putting personal expenses on your business card would create extra work at tax time trying to figure out which expenses can be claimed and which can’t. Your best bet may be to get a business card and a personal card to keep your spending seperate. Hope this helps!

Hi, im looking to get this card for my business.

I make most business payments through the WISE Payment app for international purchases. Would the money I’m depositing into WISE to make purchases be eligible to earn the bonus points?

Hi Steven,


When you make transfers to Wise using a credit card, it’s often treated as a cash advances by the bank, meaning they will charge you a cash advance fee and interest on the entire balance from the moment of the transfer. Cash advances are also not eligible to earn points. So, it’s unlikely you would earn points for any of these transactions, and it would cost you a lot in interest. You can learn more about these fees here.

Can you confirm if this card awards points for payments to the ATO for BAS and tax payments and if so at what rate per $ spent.

Hi Ian, You can earn points by paying your BAS or other tax bills with this card and the earn rate is 0.5 points per $1 spent. Note that the ATO also charges a 1.45% fee for payments by credit card. Check out our full guide to earning points when paying your taxes to learn more about how it all works. Hope this helps!
