You can also link your card to Samsung Pay, Google Pay and Apple Pay and use your eligible smartphone or wearable device to make contactless payments at the terminal. If you get the BOQ Blue Visa or Platinum Visa, you can enjoy purchase protection insurance to cover eligible items bought with your card against theft or damage.

Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.
The default order of products in our tables can be influenced by commercial arrangements. You can re-sort or filter using the controls above each table.

Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
You can re-sort every comparison table using the controls above the table. You can filter by product features that matter to you. The order you see after re-sorting or filtering is not influenced by commercial arrangements.

What is your editor’s review on the BOQ Platinum credit card.

Cheers,

How can I view the transactions on my visa credit card? I need to keep an eye on my spending.
Hi Errol.
Thanks for your question.
You can view your account balance and transaction history through your Bank of Queensland online banking facility. Once you receive your card, you will need to register your account for online / internet banking. This can be done by calling the Bank of Queensland customer service centre.
I hope this helps.
Can you link Bank of Qld credit cards to velocity points?
Hi Jill,
Thanks for your question.
We do not compare any Bank of Queensland credit cards that reward your spending with Velocity Points. The Bank of Queensland has one rewards option, which rewards you with Q Rewards, which you can then use to redeem on a number of airlines – including Virgin. You can compare a range of credit cards that reward your spending with Velocity Points.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jacob
We are having trouble with the fax number we were given by BOQ which is 88250731 regarding the Rewards. Have we mixed up any of the numbers because it keeps coming back rejected. Thank you
Hi Jill,
Thanks for your comment. For Bank of Queensland you may need to add the 07 area code to the phone number if you aren’t faxing from inside Queensland.
If that doesn’t help, please try contacting them directly.
Cheers
Matt
Dear CCF
Does the BOQ Blue Q Rewards Visa card have a monthly point limit?
Does electronic payment of bills through BPAY contribute to the accumulation of points?
Can the rewards be redeemed as cheaper flights with Virgin?
Hi Paul. Thanks for your question.
1) According to the small print, ‘Reward points are capped per annum – 65,000 for Blue Visa cards and 240,000 for Platinum Visa cards’
2) The terms and conditions state that an eligible transaction, ‘Eligible Transaction means any Retail Purchase which is made by the use of a Card or any other means authorised by us, excluding (but not limited to) transactions by way of Cash Advance, Special Promotions, fees, purchases of foreign currency and travellers cheques, interest charges, government charges, insurance charges, payments to loan accounts (mortgage etc), transactions made in operating a business and all other transactions if the Account is more than $10,000 in credit.’ It does not make mention of BPAY transactions; however, in our experience it will depend on the merchant. If they are set up to accept BPAY, the transaction will be treated as a purchase and you will earn points. If they are not set up to accept BPAY transactions it will be treated as a cash advance and you won’t earn points.
3) Once you have earned a enough rewards, you can redeem your rewards for flights through ‘Take Flight’. This is a travel booking service which allows you to redeem your points for travel and is managed online.
Hope this has helped. Let us know if you need more information. Jacob.
