Our verdict

Offers a competitive earn rate and up to 120,000 bonus Qantas Points, but you'll need to wait a year for 30,000 of them.

The NAB Qantas Rewards Signature has one of the biggest bonus Qantas Points offers on the market right now, with 120,000 bonus points up for grabs if you keep the card for at least 13 months. To give you an idea of your points potential, you could book a return economy flight from Sydney to New York (110,400). You could also redeem them for $525 worth of Woolworths WISH digital gift cards through the Qantas Marketplace (109,100 points for two $250 gift cards and 5,500 for one $25 gift card).

To get 90,000 of these bonus points, you’ll need to spend $3,000 on eligible purchases within the first 60 days of account opening. You then need to keep the account open for over 12 months (paying the second year’s annual fee) in order to get the other 30,000 bonus Qantas Points.

Pros

  • Up to 120,000 bonus Qantas Points
  • Discounted $295 annual fee for the first year
  • Complimentary insurance covers

Cons

  • Spend requirement to get bonus points is tricky
  • High ongoing annual fee of $395
  • No lounge passes or travel credit

The NAB Qantas Rewards Signature is suited to travellers who want to earn Qantas Points as they spend and who will use the card's extra features (like the complimentary insurance covers) to justify the annual fee.

What purchases/payments are cash advances

Hi Pearl,


A cash advance is when you withdraw money from the account, either using an ATM or as an online transaction. According to NAB, cash advances on this card also include other transactions they consider to be the equivalent of withdrawing cash from your account, eg. most gambling transactions (such as sports betting, casino games, lottery tickets, online gambling), the purchase of travellers cheques, wire transfers or other similar substitutes for cash (such as crypto-currency).


Hope this helps!

What purchases/payments are cash in advance? Ie- bpay etc

Generally BPay transactions are considered purchases and won’t be treated as a cash advance. It might be treated as a cash advance if you are transferring to a bank account, or trying to make a BPay payment to another credit card.


If your credit card provider does treat a transaction as a cash advance, they will usually warn you that you will be charged interest immediately in the app or online banking when you are trying to make the payment.

Does Qantas Premier Platinum count as a NAB credit card and therefore ineligible for a balance transfer/the Qantas points offer?


Avatar

Hi Daryn,


According to the terms and conditions, you should be eligible if you hold a Qantas Premier Platinum (underwritten by NAB), as the T&Cs state:

“This bonus Qantas Points offer is not available to existing customers who have received or are entitled to receive NAB Qantas Rewards bonus points for a new personal NAB Qantas Rewards credit card in the 18 months prior to the opening of a NAB Qantas Rewards Signature Card or NAB Qantas Rewards Premium Card.”


Hope this helps!

Can this card be used for ATO payments and what is the maximum limit on the card please?


Avatar

Sarah Megginson Finder

Hi Emma,


Yes, this card can be used to make ATO payments, but it does not allow you to earn points on those payments. NAB has a business rewards card that does allow you to earn points, in case you’re eligible for this.


The maximum credit card for this card is not known, but the minimum is $15,000.


Hope this helps!

What and where do I need to buy to be an eligible purchase?

Hi Dart,

Eligible purchases include all kinds of everyday spending: groceries, shopping, travel, flights, accomodation, coffee shops etc.

Ineligible purchases usually mean things like gambling, cash advances, interest charges, fees and refunds.

Hope this helps!
