Hello,

Is the condition of this card that you haven’t held a similar card for 12 months as it says here or 24 months as it says on the Bank of Melbourne website ?

Many thanks

Annual fee. This card charges a standard annual fee of $370. This includes both $295 standard fee and $75 annual Qantas Rewards fee.

If you already have paid Qantas flyer reward membership do you still have to pay this??

Hi Pranali,

Yes, you would still need to pay the annual Qantas Rewards fee, as this is separate to Qantas Frequent Flyer membership. You may want to compare other Qantas credit cards on Finder based on the annual fee and other details to help choose a card. I hope this helps.

Hi. The BOM credit card says ‘eligible purchases”. What would not count as an eligible purchase? I’m think of booking a cruise and wondering if this would be considered an eligible purchase. Thanks for your advise. Much appreciated.

Hi Joanna,


Yes, booking travel is likely to be accepted as an eligible purchase. Purchases that re not usually deemed to be “eligible” include things like:

There are a number of transactions that are generally deemed as ineligible. These tend to include things like:


– balance transfers

– BPAY transactions

– cash advances

– card and account fees

– gambling or gaming spends

– interest charges


Hope this helps!

If one was an Amplify credit cardholder with another bank previously, are they still eligible to apply and receive the points with Bank of Melbourne?

Hello Adam,


Thank you for your comment.


According to the eligibility for the bonus points promotion, existing customers who currently hold an Amplify Platinum or Amplify Signature card issued by St.George, Bank of Melbourne or BankSA, or who have held one in the last 12 months, are not eligible for this offer.


I hope this answered your inquiry. Should you wish to have real-time answers to your questions, try our chat box on the lower right corner of our page.
