Our verdict

Offers 0.5 Qantas Points per $1 and an ongoing $0 annual fee, specifically for police and ambulance workers in Victoria.

The BankVic Qantas Visa gives you a way to earn frequent flyer points on your everyday spending, without paying a credit card annual fee. This can save you hundreds of dollars compared to Qantas credit cards that charge annual fees (and most do). The earn rate of 0.5 Qantas Points per $1 is similar to some cards that charge an annual fee, but not as high as more premium Qantas cards.

As it doesn't offer lounge passes or other popular frequent flyer perks, it's more suited to people who want to earn some more Qantas Points while also saving on upfront account costs.

Pros

$0 annual fee for life
6.99% p.a. interest rate for 6 months on purchases and balance transfers
Uncapped Qantas Points per $1 spent on eligible purchases

Cons

The introductory rate offer on purchases and balance transfers is still higher than the 0% interest rate offered by most cards.
A transaction fee of 2% is charged for online or overseas purchases made in a foreign currency using this card.

The BankVic Qantas Visa Credit Card is available exclusively to members of The Police Association of Victoria (TPAV) and Victorian Ambulance Union members. It offers 0.5 Qantas Points per $1 spent, uncapped and is one of the few frequent flyer cards to offer no annual fee ever.

If you're eligible to get this card, you can also save on interest for the first 6 months, with an introductory interest rate of 6.99% for both purchases and balance transfers. The 16.95% p.a. interest rate that applies after that is also lower than the average standard credit card rate in Australia (currently 20.07%).
