Types of credit cards from David Jones

You can choose between two David Jones American Express credit cards, each with different features and benefits.

  • Rewards credit card

This card earns between 1 and 3 points per $1 spent through the Membership Rewards program or between 0.5 and 1.5 Qantas Points per $1 spent for your frequent flyer account. If you choose Membership Rewards, you can also use your card to shop with points online at davidjones.com.

This card has a competitive annual fee of $99 and a standard purchase rate of 20.74% p.a. (variable). It also gives you the option of adding supplementary cardholders for $0 for the first year, then $29 p.a. thereafter and offers up to 44 days interest-free.

The benefits of a David Jones credit card

Some of the features you can look forward to with a David Jones credit card include:

  • American Express Membership Rewards

Choose to earn Membership Rewards with the David Jones American Express or David Jones American Express Platinum cards and you can redeem them for a variety of rewards including gift cards, cash back on your account, shopping at David Jones online, travel packages and points with partnered frequent flyer programs.

  • Qantas Frequent Flyer rewards

Choose to have your reward points automatically converted to Qantas Points for your frequent flyer account. When you're comparing these cards, keep in mind that both David Jones American Express cards offer 0.5 Qantas Points for every reward point earned (e.g. 1 reward point per $1 spent equals 0.5 Qantas Points per $1). The amount of Qantas Points you've earned are automatically credited to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account each month, usually within 48 hours of when your card's statement is issued.

  • Platinum travel perks

The platinum David Jones credit card gives you access to complimentary international travel insurance and entry to the American Express Lounges at Melbourne and Sydney international airport, with up to two visits per year.

  • Complimentary insurance for purchases

Both David Jones American Express credit cards offer purchase protection insurance against theft or damage for up to 90 days when you buy eligible items with your card. The David Jones American Express Platinum also offers refund protection insurance (if you're having trouble getting a refund within 90 days of buying an item with your card) and buyer's advantage insurance (which extends the manufacturer's warranty for up to 12 months on eligible items).

  • David Jones benefits

This covers most purchases made at davidjones.com but excludes gift cards, hampers and fresh food, large items and purchases made through Wine Club or Gift Registry.

      Hi Gigi,

      Thanks for your inquiry.

      Yes, you’re still eligible for the bonus points offer as long as you apply and are approved and make purchases thrice on your new card outside David Jones within the first month.

      I hope this has helped.

      Cheers,
