The Bank of Queensland (BOQ) Q Rewards program gives you a way to earn points per $1 spent on your eligible credit card spending. You can use these points for rewards including gift cards, cashback, travel bookings, frequent flyer point transfers and shopping.
So if you're interested in a BOQ rewards credit card, here's a look at how the Q Rewards program works – including which credit cards earn points and how to redeem them.
You'll receive complimentary membership to the Q Rewards program when you apply and are approved for either the BOQ Platinum Visa credit card or the BOQ Blue Visa credit card. You can compare how many points you'll earn per $1 with each card below:
| Card | Earn rate | Annual fee |
|---|---|---|
| BOQ Platinum Visa credit card | 2 points per $1 | first year ($129 thereafter) |
| BOQ Blue Visa credit card | 1 per $1 spent | $60 |
As well as boasting a higher earn rate, new BOQ Platinum Visa cardholders can also take advantage of a regular bonus points offer. New cardholders can earn 120,000 bonus Q Points each month that they spend $3,000 on eligible transactions for the first 12 months.
The BOQ Q Rewards website gives you the following ways to redeem points
If you're ready to spend your points and start picking up some rewards, log on to your internet banking, select your credit card from your list of accounts and select "Q Rewards/Other card functions". From there you can view your points balance, browse the latest offers and redeem your rewards. You can also contact Q Rewards on 1300 206 349 to get started.

i don’t have internet banking and want to redeem my points. Should I ring the Bank direct?
I want to redeem my points for a purchase at a Department store. I am concerned that if I request gift cards they may go astray in the mail. If this happens who is responsible?
Can I receive cash in lieu of gift cards?
Hi Phil,
Thanks for your question.
I’m not sure who will be responsible for any gift cards lost in the mail. You may have to directly contact BOQ to enquire about this.
Unfortunately, Reward points have no monetary value, are not transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash.
However, you cam request for a Cashback. The amount of a cashback is credited to your Account, reducing your outstanding debt.
Cheers,
Anndy

Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for your inquiry!
To see the list of rewards and to redeem you need to log on to internet banking with BOQ.

Hello Ken,
Thanks for your feedback.
Just to confirm, you have come through to finder.com.au, not the BOQ website. As such, you’re unable to redeem your points through our website.
Instead, I’ve emailed you a link the BOQ website and points redemption page for your convenience.
Cheers,
Sally
How do I find out how to spend my rewards points. I have tried all BOQ websites and they are not helpful.
