You'll also get between 0.5 to 2 Qantas Points per $1 on eligible spending with this card. And you can get triple points when you book eligible Qantas flights through the Qantas Business Rewards program. You can also add up to 99 additional cardholders and set up a transaction feed through MYOB.

Hi Sonia,


No it’s not instance, you need to meet the minimum spend requirement first (currently $6,000 on eligible purchases in the first 3 months from card approval). Assuming you do so within the first few weeks of having your card, the statement will be processed and the points are usually credited within 2 to 12 weeks from the point. The general advice is “up to 12 weeks” but in practice, it can happen within a couple of weeks of your statement being issued.


Hope this helps!

Hi,

Is rent paid through BPAY classified as an eligible purchase and do the bonus points appear after 3 months if the minimum spend is met or do we have to wait for a longer period of time?


Thanks

Hi Will,


It depends how the rent is paid. If you’re using a platform like RentPay and making a credit card payment, that’s likely to be classified as eligible. However if you make a BPay payment, that could be classified as a cash advance, then it would not be eligible AND it would attract interest immediately.


The bonus points are credited up to 12 weeks after meeting the eligibility requirements, but in practice, they can be credited as soon as 2 weeks after your statement is produced.


Hope this helps!

Hello,

I am interested in this card for my business. One of the main expenditures would be to use the CC to transfer money into another account (with Macquarie) to then pay a loan on a business property I own. Would this be seen as eligible spending? Would there be a charge involved in making payment to this other account?

Thanks

Hi Kailas,


No, this would not be considered eligible spending as you would need to withdraw the money as a cash advance.

Are there restrictions for the “eligible purchases” in the first 3 months, in order to receive the bonus points?

Ie. what can I and can’t I pay for?

Hi Tim,


Eligible spending usually means everyday spending: groceries, coffees, lunches, shopping, concert tickets, transport fares, ubers etc.


Ineligible spending usually includes things like cash advances, online gambling, interest payments, fees, refunds etc.


Hope this helps!
