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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
I have my CBA Gold Awards Credit Card linked directly to my Qantas Frequent flyer awards and so lose 50% (ie 1 FF point costs 2 awards) of my award points as a result. If I convert my awards manually does the same conversion rate apply?
Hi Jan. thanks for your question. The conversion rate will be the same. This page may interest you, it has information on transferring points between rewards programs and frequent flyers programs.

How do I use my Frequent flyer card.
Hi Diana. Thanks for your question. When you use your card that is linked to a frequent flyer account and make an eligible purchase (things other than cash advances, balance transfers etc.), you will automatically earn a Qantas Points with your chosen program – either Qantas, Virgin, Etihad etc. When you first sign up for one of these cards, you can either link an existing frequent flyer membership, or you can sign up for a new frequent flyer membership. Let me know if you have any more questions. Jacob.
Does my qantas ANZ platinum credit card give me access to a qantas lounge once a year?
Hi Manulea. Thanks for your question. Thanks for your question. The ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum Card does not offer complimentary access to Qantas lounges. Jacob.
Can I use my card for everyday spend and then pay at the end of the month .
I really want to be able to use the points to travel between Sydney and Dubbo only . My monthly spend is about $2000 a month , which would be the best card for me ?
Hi Suzie,
Thanks for your question. So, these cards do work by rewarding you for your everyday spending with Qantas Points. If you plan to pay the card off in full at the end of each statement period, you will be able to maximise your interest-free days when you use a credit card to make a purchase as well as earn points.
Please compare your options here to find the Qantas Frequent Flyer credit card that is going to best suit your needs.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Jacob
Hi, I redeemed 9600 points for $50.00 gift card (Caltex). A confirmation note has been sent and says it will take up to 5 days to be despatched. This time has well past, how much longer can I expect to wait? Is there a chance it was lost in mail?
thanks leo
Hi Leo. Thanks for your question. I would give it another day as sometimes the post can take a little longer than expect; however, please call the card issuer and tell them about your situation. Confirm with them that the package has been sent, and tell them that you’re yet to receive it. There are occasions when things can get missed, so please be vigilant when dealing with these types of things. Hope this has helped. Please let us know how it goes for you. Jacob.
