Expert review

The ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum gives you a way to earn Qantas Points on your everyday spending. The introductory offer on this card is a standout feature, giving you enough Qantas Points for a one-way economy flight from Sydney to Los Angeles (from 55,200 points) or a return business class flight from Brisbane to Adelaide (55,200 points) – with some points left over for next time.

Beyond this, the ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum offers an ongoing earn rate that’s particularly suited to moderate spenders, with 0.75 Qantas Points per $1 offered on eligible spending of up to $3,000 in each statement period. After that, you’ll earn 0.5 Qantas Points per $1 for your eligible spending. It also offers 1 additional point per $1 spent on selected Qantas products and services, complimentary insurance covers for travel and shopping and concierge service. With a $295 annual fee after the first year, it’s worth thinking about whether the benefits you’ll get from this card will justify this cost.
