Our verdict

Offers 40,000 bonus Qantas Points and international travel insurance, with an annual fee and Qantas rewards fee that add up to $178 per year.

The Qantas Suncorp Clear Options Platinum Credit Card is suited to people who want frequent flyer points for their everyday spending and access to complimentary travel insurance. Its current bonus Qantas Points offer would give you enough points for a return economy class flight from Sydney to Auckland (36,000 points plus fees and taxes), or $150 worth of Bunnings digital gift cards (36,600 points for one $100 gift card and one $50 gift card), as an example.

Pros

  • 40,000 bonus Qantas Points
  • 0.5 Qantas Points per $1 on eligible spending
  • Complimentary international travel insurance

Cons

  • $49 yearly fee for choosing to earn Qantas Points
  • Points per $1 are capped at $8,000 per statement period
  • 3.4% foreign transaction fee

Right now, it also offers 40,000 bonus Qantas Points when you apply and spend $4,500 on eligible purchases in the first 3 months from approval.

Is there a maximum age limit to qualify for the complimentary travel insurance?

Hi Don, I read the PDS and the only reference to age eligibility was as follows:

WHAT WE COVER:

If, during the period of cover available for your journey, your relative who is resident in Australia and who is aged under 80 years at the time you become eligible for cover, dies unexpectedly or is hospitalised due to a serious illness, injury or sickness diagnosed while you are on your journey, we will reimburse the reasonable additional cost of your early return to your home.


Hope this helps!

I cannot find anywhere that tells you how often you can get a card and be elligible; usually they state as long as you havent had a card in the past 12 months etc. Ive checked all the terms and conditions and its nowhere.

Hi Kam,

While some credit cards offers include specific requirements for new customers, not all of them do. In the case of the Suncorp Clear Options Platinum Credit Card with Qantas Points bonus points offer that’s currently available, the terms and conditions do not mention new customers. If you have further questions about the offer and eligibility, you may want to contact Suncorp on 13 11 55. I hope this helps.

Hey, we applied for this credit card some weeks ago considering it was offering 70,000 miles as entry bonus, would you be able to confirm when they changed the bonus offer to 40,000? Also, could you confirm that the previous bonus offer only required the user to spend $3,000 Aud in the first three months?

Regards

Hi Juan,

Please be aware that Finder is an independent review site and not directly affiliated with Suncorp Bank. But our credit card database shows that this offer changed on 4 October and the previous spend requirement was $3,000. If you want to check whether you qualified or have other questions, you can contact Suncorp directly. I hope this helps.
