The American Express Qantas Business Rewards card gives you a way to manage business spending and collect frequent flyer points through the Qantas Business Rewards program. Its earn rates range from 0.5 to 2 Qantas Points per $1 spent, with triple points offered when you book eligible Qantas flights. The 100,000 bonus points offer sweetens the deal, as do the lounge invitations and complimentary domestic and international travel insurance.

As a charge card, it also offers the flexibility of no pre-set spending limit, up to 51 days to pay off purchases and up to 99 additional cardholders at no extra cost. You can also set up a transaction feed through MYOB and have the ability to make payments to merchants that don’t accept Amex directly, thanks to the American Express AccessLine platform.

Card benefits

Bonus 100,000 Qantas Points. Collect 100,000 bonus Qantas Points when you apply for this card by 29 January 2020 and spend $3,000 in the first 2 months from your card approval date. Note that this offer is only available if you're a new card member and have not held a card issued by American Express Australia Limited in the preceding 18-month period.
Triple Qantas Points for business flights. Use this card to book business travel through Qantas Business Rewards and you'll earn triple Qantas Points on eligible Qantas flights with QF booking code when they are operated by Qantas, Emirates or American Airlines. Note that eligible flights must also be purchased in Australia (for both domestic and international travel).

Qantas Points per $1 spent. This card earns 2 Qantas Points per $1 spent on Qantas products and services, 1.25 points per $1 spent on everyday purchases and 0.5 points per $1 spent on utilities, non-American Express insurance policies and with government bodies.
American Express AccessLine. With this card, you can use the American Express AccessLine platform to make payments to domestic and international merchants, even if they don't accept American Express card payments. Just pre-register your suppliers and make payments through the online system using your Amex card. A 2.4% trade service fee applies for this option.
Qantas Club lounge invitations. To claim the 2 complimentary Qantas Club lounge invitations each year, you'll need to register your Qantas Frequent Flyer number with your American Express Qantas Business Rewards card, then use it to make an eligible Qantas purchase during your membership year. This could include Qantas flights with a QF flight number, Qantas Frequent Flyer and Qantas Business Rewards membership fees or Qantas Club joining or membership fees. The lounge invitations will be assigned to the account within 1-2 weeks of meeting this spend requirement, and you can then access them by visiting the Complimentary Invitations Portal.
Complimentary travel insurance. Enjoy complimentary domestic and international travel insurance for you, your partner, your dependents and any additional card members when you use your card to purchase return domestic or international flights for business travel. For full terms and conditions, read the insurance policy booklet available on the American Express website.
Security. This card offers 48-hour emergency card replacement around the world, as well as protection against unauthorised transactions.
Mobile payments. You can add this card to Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay, which allows you to make payments directly from your compatible mobile phone or device.

Rates & fees

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

Repayments. This is a charge card, so the balance must be paid in full by the due date on each statement.
Interest-free period. This card offers up to 51 days interest-free for each statement period. Note that the number of interest-free days will depend on when in your statement cycle each purchase is made. As an example, a transaction made on the first day of your statement period would be interest-free for the full 51 days, while a transaction on the second day would get 50 days interest-free, and one made on day 50 of your statement cycle would be interest-free for one day only.
Complimentary Qantas Business Rewards membership. While a Qantas Business Rewards membership usually costs $89.50, there is no membership fee if your business has the American Express Qantas Business Reward Card.
Accounting features and services. This card offers integration with MYOB, which allows you to set up an automatic data feed of your card transactions. You can also keep track of expenses, statements and account details through your American Express account.

It says here that the minimum income is $24,000, but the AMEX website says minimum $75,000 and needs to be GST registered. can you please clarify which is correct?

  Hi Gianni,
  
  Thank you for reaching out.
  
  The minimum annual business revenue has been changed from $24,000 to $75,000, hence we have also updated our page to reflect this. And yes, your business must have a valid ABN registered for GST to be eligible.
  
  Hope this helps! 😊
  
  Kind Regards,
  Mai
