Types of credit cards from Jetstar

Jetstar currently offers two credit cards on the market. The Jetstar Mastercard is their standard product, while the Platinum Mastercard goes one further with a higher earn rate and a wider breadth of features. Both cards let cardholders earn either Jetstar Dollars or Qantas Points on eligible purchases, which can then be redeemed for either Jetstar travel vouchers or flights with Qantas and its partners or products from the Qantas eStore depending which rewards program you earn with. You can compare the different types of Jetstar credit cards below.

• Rewards credit cards

Both the Jetstar Mastercard and Jetstar Platinum Mastercard allow you to earn points as you spend. You opt to earn either Qantas Points or Jetstar Dollars and the earn rates vary between the two cards. Please note that opting into the Qantas loyalty program comes with a fee.

While the Platinum Mastercard comes with more competitive earn rates, remember that it also comes with a higher annual fee than the standard Jetstar Mastercard. Make sure the value of the rewards you could earn will outweigh the costs of whichever card you choose before applying. Both cards also come with a rewards cap, so make sure this doesn't limit how many points you could earn based on your average spending behaviour.

• Platinum credit cards

The Jetstar Platinum Mastercard offers a higher earn rate for rewards, complimentary insurances and a lower points cap. The card also comes with a concierge service that could act as your own personal assistant for everything from making restaurant reservations to booking travel plans. This card comes with a higher annual fee than the standard Jetstar Mastercard, though, so you should make sure that the costs don't offset the benefit you'll get from the card to ensure it's of value to you.
