Our verdict

Offers up to 100,000 bonus Amplify Points and a discounted annual fee of $99 in the first year, which goes to $175 after that.

The St.George Amplify Rewards Platinum is a rewards credit card with tiered earn rates, offering up to 2 points per $1 spent on eligible purchases. It also offers 75,000 bonus Amplify Points when you apply as a new cardholder and spend $3,000 on eligible purchases in the first 90 days from card approval and an additional 30,000 points after your first eligible purchase in the second year. As an example, transferring these points to Velocity Frequent Flyer would give you 50,000 Velocity Points – enough for a return economy flight from Sydney to Denpasar (46,600 points plus fees and taxes). Or, you could redeem them for up to $450 in eGift cards. The St.George Amplify Rewards website doesn’t publicly list the value of most other rewards, but redemptions start from 3,000 points.

Aside from bonus points, this card also offers a discounted first-year annual fee of $99. After that, you’ll be charged an annual fee of $175, which is competitive for a platinum rewards card.

Pros

Up to 100,000 bonus Amplify Points

"I'm a keen points hunter but I also hate paying huge annual credit card fees, so when I looked for a credit card, these are two things I consider. St George Amplify Rewards Platinum ticked both my boxes because their annual card fee is on the lower side, and their earn rate is high."

Can Amplify Points be used to credit back my individual purchases from my statement?

Or can they only be saved up and Redeemed within the online Amplify shopping portal?

Sarah Megginson Finder

May 09, 2026

Hi Simon,

St. George Amplify Points can’t be directly used to “cash out” or credit back individual purchases from your statement automatically. However, they are highly flexible and can be redeemed for e-gift cards, cash-equivalent rewards, or by transferring to partners like Everyday Rewards to save on groceries, providing a similar effect to a credit. Hope this helps!

What is the current conversion of rewards points to both Velocity frequent flyer points and qantas frequent flyer points respectively?

Richard Whitten Finder

November 06, 2025

Hi Kaori,

2 Amplify Points convert to 1 Velocity Point. You can’t transfer Amplify Points to Qantas Points. You have to switch from the Amplify Rewards program to Amplify Qantas (or get an Amplify Qantas card to earn Qantas Points directly).

Hello

Why do you have to have an employer to have an income? What if the income threshold is exceeded with investments, savings, interest and dividends?

Anndy Lou

May 13, 2017

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your question.

If you don’t have an employer and would like to apply for this card as self-employed, St. George may consider your application, but you have to provide a Notice of Assessment. If you’ve been self-employed for less than a year, you won’t be able to apply.

Cheers,

Anndy

Hi!

Could we choose the 30,000 bonus point between Qantas reward program or Amplify reward program when we spent $2500 for the first 90 days after we applied for the card?

Jason Finder

October 27, 2016

Hi Anna.

Thank you for your inquiry.

You can choose between Amplify Rewards or Qantas Rewards with the St.George Amplify Platinum credit card as long as you spend $2,500 in eligible purchases and if your card application is approved before January 4, 2017.

Cheers,

Jason
