How do business frequent flyer credit cards work?

A business frequent flyer credit card lets you earn points for every dollar you spend on your business. You can choose cards that earn you Qantas Points or Velocity Points.

But there are also business credit cards that let you earn rewards points and convert those to Qantas or Velocity Points. Amex Membership Rewards Points convert to either program at a rate of 2:1.

Business credit cards offer huge amounts of bonus points if you meet the spending and eligibility criteria.

Who can get a business credit card?

Business credit cards are usually designed for small to medium sized businesses, but there are also some corporate cards for larger organisations.

To apply for one of these cards, you usually need:

  • To have an Australian Business Number (ABN)
  • Meet a minimum annual turnover
  • Be the business owner or someone authorised to apply on behalf of the business.

What's the best Qantas business credit card?

The NAB Qantas Business Signature Card won best business frequent flyer credit card and best small business frequent flyer credit card at the 2025 Finder Credit Card Awards. This was based on a detailed analysis of rates, fees, points offers, earn rates and card features across 12 months.

Best Business Frequent Flyer Credit Card: NAB Qantas Business Signature Card

Best Business Frequent Flyer Credit Card badge

The NAB Qantas Business Signature Card won the business frequent flyer award at this year's Finder Awards. It comes with a massive 200,000 bonus Qantas Points and complimentary Qantas Business Rewards membership.

Highly commended cards

How to compare frequent flyer credit cards for your business

The first step is to figure out what points program you want to earn. That's either Qantas Points, Velocity Points or get a card that's linked to a flexible rewards program such as American Express Membership Rewards or CommBank Awards.

These reward programs usually let you transfer your points to frequent flyer program partners, such as Velocity, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer and Emirates Skywards (although it does vary between reward programs).

Qantas business credit card options

If you want a business credit card that earns Qantas Points, there are two main options:

  • Cards linked to Qantas Business Rewards. These cards earn Qantas Points through the Qantas Business Rewards program, which you can redeem for flights or transfer to any personal Qantas Frequent Flyer account. This gives you the flexibility to use Qantas Points for your business, yourself or someone else (like an employee).

How many points can I earn on my spending?

When you're comparing cards, keep in mind that an earn rate of at least 1 point per $1 is competitive. The number of points you’ll earn per $1 may also vary based on the transaction. For example, you might be able to earn 1.25 points on everyday eligible purchases and only 0.5 points per $1 spent on your ATO bill or other government transactions.

Is there a bonus points offer?

The best business frequent flyer credit cards also offer hundreds of thousands of introductory bonus points when you meet the offer requirements (you normally need to be a new customer and spend a lot in the first few months of having the card).

Business credit cards have the biggest bonus frequent flyer points offers on the market.

What is the annual fee?

Business credit cards that offer Qantas Points or other frequent flyer rewards usually have an annual fee. This can vary from $150 to $450 (or more) depending on the card.

You should make sure that your business can afford the annual fee and that the monetary value of the points and the extra perks can justify this cost.

Is it a credit card or a charge card?

When you're comparing business cards that earn frequent flyer points, you'll see both credit cards and charge cards. If you get a credit card, you'll be able to carry a balance from month to month (with interest charges) as long as you meet the minimum repayment requirements.

If you get a charge card, you have to pay it off in full each month. But you do get a set number of "cash flow days" in each statement period and won't have to pay interest on the account.

What are the extra perks?

Frequent flyer business credit cards often include other benefits, such as complimentary lounge passes or complimentary international travel insurance. You might also be able to use a complimentary concierge service for everything from booking a restaurant for a business meeting to organising a corporate trip.

Some business cards also come linked with reporting software (such as MYOB, QuickBooks and Microsoft Excel), which you can use to monitor and download your balance sheets and transaction details.

How many additional cards does the account offer?

If several of your employees require a credit card for work spending, you can request additional credit cards that are linked to the one account. This can help keep track of business spending and save time on expense-reporting. It also gives you a way to earn more points – or offer points as a perk to your employees.

Pros and cons of a business credit card with frequent flyer points

Pros

  • Rewards for business spending. Unlike other business credit cards, these cards reward you for every $1 you spend on eligible purchases. You can use these rewards to cut costs on regular business expenses (such as business travel) or to reward yourself and your employees.
  • Extra perks. These cards also come with extra features like lounge invitations, complimentary travel insurance and concierge services which could help justify the cost of the card.
  • Access credit. These cards usually offer higher credit limits than personal cards and can help your business manage its expenses with a line of credit.
  • Business reporting. You can monitor your business spending under one account and link it with business reporting systems to help simplify the way you manage your finances.

Cons

  • Higher annual fees. While some business cards come with low or $0 annual fees, these cards usually come with higher annual fees.
  • Liability. If you link additional cards to the account, the primary cardholder or the business will be liable for any expenses made on the supplementary cards.
  • Interest charges. If you opt for a business credit card and carry a balance from month to month, you’ll likely collect high interest rates on your purchases.

How to apply for a business frequent flyer credit card

Once you’ve compared your options and decided on a card, you can apply for a frequent flyer credit card for your business online, over the phone or in a branch.

Before you begin the application, make sure that your business meets the eligibility requirements and has the necessary information:

Eligibility criteria

  • Business requirements. You'll usually need to have an ABN (Australian Business Number) for your business and may need to be registered for GST. You may also need to meet an annual revenue requirement (such as $75,000 per year).
  • Australian residency status. Depending on the card, you may need to be an Australian citizen or a permanent resident to apply.
  • Credit history. You’ll usually need to have a good credit history with no evidence of bad debts or payment defaults.
  • Age. You must be at least 18 years old to apply for a credit card in Australia.

Required documents and information

  • Personal details. You’ll need to provide personal information including your full name, contact number and email address. You must also provide the details of your personal pre-tax income.
  • Business details. This will include your business name, contact details, ABN and other business financial information.
  • Frequent flyer account. This could be your personal frequent flyer account, or details of a business account if you're a member of Qantas Business Rewards.

Once you have completed the application, the bank or card provider will be in touch with details about the assessment process and outcome. If you're approved, you should get your card within 5-10 business days.

    Hi there, I know these cards don’t give you points for Bpay. Do they give you points for “electronic funds transfer” or “internet or phone banking (pay anyone)”?
    Thanks

      Hi Whitney.

      Thanks for your question.

      You can find some general information on credit cards offering rewards for BPAY transactions.

      Currently, Westpac is the only provider that we list that offers frequent flyer points when you make an eligible purchase. According to the Westpac Altitude Business Rewards terms and conditions, currently, no points are awards for BPAY transactions. You will not earn points on the following transactions.

      • ‘Government charges (other than GST payable in connection with the purchase of goods or services on which you earn points).
      • Interest and other bank fees and charges (including any GST payable on any of these).
      • Cash advances (any transaction treated by us as a cash advance as further explained in the ‘Interpretation’ section – clause 18 below).
      • Balance transfers.
      • Bpay payments; i.e. bill payments and other payments made through the Bpay® Electronic Payments Scheme.’

      I hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Jacob

      Hi Morrice,

      Thanks for your question.

      Please have a look at the ANZ Business One Visa Rewards Card. At the time of writing it offers uncapped rewards points earning. You can transfer ANZ Rewards to a frequent flyer program if you wish, more details are covered in the guide for you to read through.

      I hope this helps.

    Hi Jacob. As you know Westpac has put a points cap on cards used for business. I have a $50,000 credit limit on two cards used for business but in my name. I usually spend around $500,000 a year. I don’t want to miss out on points. I was offered the Black Altitude card for personal stuff but not my “business” cards. I am switching banks but which bank offers what I have had before with no capping on points. Last time we spoke you said HSBC. Now that we are 4 months older, what bank offers more. I don’t mind having an American Express companion card but most companies we deal with don’t accept Amex, so please help. I have looked at the tables and am confused. I don’t care how much card costs as it is a tax deduction.

      Hi Miriam,

      Thanks for your inquiry.

      You may refer to our business credit cards comparison page that list the cards that reward you for business spending. You can find out which cards offer uncapped points earning by selecting through to the cards review page from the comparison table. A number of the business credit cards we compare are offered by American Express and Westpac is the only provider listed in our business comparison tables to provide a companion Mastercard and American Express credit cards.

      Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.

      I hope this helps.

      Cheers,

      I wish to change from a westpac card as i am really angry that they are so greedy and have changed the rules. I can’t use the black altitude card for business purchases. The card I want is like the Westpac Business Gold card that is no longer available.I don’t necessarily want a business card but I am making legitimate business purchases. In fact the 2 I have for 2 businesses are in my personal name.What replaces the Westpac card? Amex cards are not accepted by my suppliers. Do you know whether HSBC plan to copy the greed of Westpac and cap their points too??

      Hi Miriam,

      Thanks for your comments.

      While it is not certain whether HSBC plans to cap their points since credit card providers do change their products from time to time, you may refer to our guide for information on the rewards and frequent flyer credit cards.

      Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.

      Hi Carmen. Thanks for your question. So banks do require that you have an account with them already, while others do not. You can find information about this on the application page once you go to apply for a card. Jacob.

      Hi Robert,

      Thanks for your question. Please have a look at our business credit card comparison page. On that page, the cards that offer rewards and do not have a cap on points earning are ANZ Business One Rewards, American Express Velocity Business Card, American Express Gold Business Card, NAB Qantas Business Credit, and the American Express Platinum Business Credit Card. Please keep in mind, although, the American Express cards do not directly earn frequent flyer products, you can transfer your American Express Membership Rewards Points to airline partners.

      If you wish to learn more and check transfer rates, please read our guide about transferring frequent flyer points.

      I hope this helps.

      Regards,
      Jacob
