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.

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.
Qantas also appear to have a cash card which is not covered in the comparison material here (btw the material is otherwise very comprehensive; well done). Can you advise what overseas transaction fees are associated with the Qantas Cash card and also whether the exchange rates spreads make it a good choice.
Also, while on the subject of cash cards and credit cards, which are most to likely to offer consumers the most attractive exchange rate spreads?
Hi Tom,
Thanks for leaving your feedback.
To answer your question, if you withdraw cash from an ATM outside Australia, an overseas ATM withdrawal fee applies. For a full list of currencies, rates and fees associated with this account, kindly refer to our Qantas Card with Qantas Cash review page.
I hope this helps.

Do I have to be an existing Qantas Frequent Flyer member before applying for this card, or will applying for this card give me free membership to the Qantas FF program?
Hi Sim,
Thanks for your inquiry.
Once your application gets approved, you will be eligible to receive a complimentary Qantas Frequent Flyer membership offered by ANZ (saving you $89.50). You may refer the benefits section of our ANZ Frequent Flyer Black credit card review page for more details.

Hi,
If I have held one of the HSBC cards previously that gave me Qantas points, it’s been closed over 12monthd, would I be eligible to apply for a new one and obtain the points?
Thanks
Stephen
Hi Stephen,
As long as you have not been a primary cardholder of any card products offered by HSBC within the last 12 months, you will be eligible to apply for a new one and take advantage of the points offer.

Two of us are flying qantas from Melbourne to Hong Kong economy in june How many FF points does that give us
Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your question.
The amount of points required will depend on a number of factors including the preferred travel class, destination and time of booking.
However, a one way flight from Melbourne to Hong Kong will cost a total of 28,000 points for an Economy flight, per person.
For future reference, you can use the Points Calculator to determine the number of Qantas Points required for a Classic Flight Reward on Qantas and partner airlines. Please refer to the link I have forwarded to your email.
I hope this has helped.
Cheers,
Ysa
