We look at annual fees, we look at earn rates, we look at bonus points offers, we look at card perks, we look at everything. So, here they are, the three best Qantas points cards on the market right now.
0:23
At number one, we've got the Qantas American Express Ultimate Card. This is an Amex card and it gives you 90,000 bonus points. But to get those points, you'll need to be a new Amex customer and you'll have to spend $3,000 in the first 3 months.
0:37
This card has a pretty high annual fee over $400. But it also comes with a yearly Qantas travel credit of the same amount. So, if you use that travel credit each year, you're effectively making the card pay for itself, which makes it a really attractive offer.
0:52
Number two, we've got the Qantas Money Titanium. Now, this card is a points earning beast. It gives you 150,000 bonus Qantas points. It's one of the market's biggest offers, and you can earn over two points for every dollar you spend. It's a really lucrative card.
1:10
It also has flight discounts, bonus status credits, lounge passes. It's a really feature rich card, but there is one big downside. The annual fee is $1,200. This is a points earning card for high rollers and serious earners. If you can afford this card, you probably don't need any financial information from me.
1:31
And last, we have the A&Z Frequent Flyer Black. This card is a popular card. It's an award winner at Finder. It regularly is in our top scoring cards. Right now it gives you a 130,000 bonus Qantas points, which is one of the top offers in the market right now.
1:46
There's only one sort of downside, which is you have to hold the card for over 12 months to get those full amount of bonus points, and that means paying the annual fee twice. The annual fee is quite high. It's above $400, but the card does have a $200 cash back offer as part of the bonus offer. So, that offsets that slightly, which makes it a pretty affordable deal with a really high number of Qantas points.
2:06
And there you have it, our top three Qantas points cards on the market right now. You can compare all these cards and more great Qantas offers right here at Finder.
what is the best card to maximize QFF points for payments to the ATO. I cannot find a card that offers better than 0.5 points for ATO payments.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for your inquiry.
At the moment, American Express is the only credit card issuer where you can earn points by paying tax in the Australian market, given that you do not use BPAY.
Please see our guide for a list of cards that earn reward points for paying tax, the rate of points earned is available in the description for each card.
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.
Cheers,
Jonathan
Hi,
I’m about to go travelling for a year and wanted to have a credit card to earn QFF points. If i’m using my credit card overseas how do i know what the exchange rates are on the credit card?
Hi Natty, thanks for your inquiry!
Credit cards can exchange the required currency at the travel destination that you are situated in. It is important to note that currency exchange fees and overseas transaction fees can apply, depending on the credit card.

Can you advise me which Qantas frequent flyer credit cards allow a customer to earn points by paying a tax bill with the ATO.
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your question.
There are a few cards that allow you to earn Qantas Points for paying your tax bill. Some of these include the Qantas American Express Ultimate Card, The NAB Qantas Rewards Premium Card which does not explicitly exclude tax payments in its terms and conditions, and the Westpac Altitude Platinum (when using your AMEX card), among others. Many cards allow you to earn points, so one way to sort through these cards would be to find the way that suits you best and then check the credit card terms and conditions to see if ATO payments are included in the points-earning, or if they are explicitly excluded. You also have the option of contacting the card issuer.
You can find out more about earning points when paying your tax bill and additional information for earning points when paying credit card bills.
I hope this has helped.
Thanks,
Elizabeth
