How can I earn more Westpac Altitude Rewards Points?

If you're after more Altitude Points and rewards, here are 6 tips you can use to earn more: Compare cards. Before applying, it's important to compare Westpac Altitude Rewards credit cards to find the card that is most suited to your budget and spending habits. This will also ensure that you don't end up overpaying for a card that has features you may not use. Take advantage of bonus points offers. Depending on when you apply, a Westpac Altitude Rewards credit card may include an introductory bonus points offer for new customers. With a substantial bonus points giveaway, you can sometimes earn as much as a free flight simply for signing up and meeting spending requirements. Request additional cardholders. Additional cardholders can double or triple your points-earning potential by increasing spending on your card account. But account expenditure would still be capped by your credit limit and you would still be responsible for managing all repayments. Use your card for big-ticket items. Charging major purchases to your credit card allows you to earn more rewards points for your spending. But be careful to make punctual repayments in order to avoid paying high interest costs. Pay for everyday expenses with your credit card. Where possible, pay for regular purchases using your credit card instead of a debit card or cash. Check your earn rate for different spending categories. The Westpac Altitude Platinum Card and Westpac Altitude Black offer different earn rates based on the types of purchases you make. For example, the Westpac Altitude Black earns 3 points per $1 on international transactions and 2 points per $1 at supermarkets, department stores, petrol stations, dining and utilities, compared with 1 point per $1 on other eligible purchases. After you spend $10,000 in a statement period, all eligible purchases earn 0.5 points per $1. Checking out the different spend categories means you can choose when you pay with your card to get the most value from it.

What's the difference between transferring my Westpac Altitude Points to Velocity or choosing to earn Velocity Points?

If you choose to earn Westpac Altitude Points, you'll need to manually transfer them to your Velocity Frequent Flyer account when you want to get Velocity Points. With this option, you can also use your Altitude Points for other rewards offered through the Altitude Rewards program. If you enrol in Westpac Altitude Velocity, you'll earn Velocity Points per $1 on eligible spending with your Westpac Altitude credit card. Note that you’ll pay an annual Velocity Rewards program fee for this option on top of the card fee: $125 for the Altitude Velocity Platinum or $155 for the Altitude Velocity Black.

Can I use my Westpac Altitude Rewards points to upgrade a flight?

You can't directly use Altitude points for a flight upgrade. But you could transfer your points to one of the participating frequent flyer programs and then request the upgrade through that frequent flyer program.

Can I use Altitude Rewards points to book a flight for myself and my partner?

Yes. As long as you have enough Altitude points, or a combination of points and cash, you can select a number of passengers for your travel redemptions on the Altitude Rewards website.

Do signup bonus points count towards the points cap for a Westpac Altitude Rewards credit card?

No. Bonus points offered to new customers are excluded from the points cap. Note that you will have to meet the eligibility requirements for bonus points to be credited to your account (i.e. spending a certain amount in the first few months you have the card). Check the offer terms and conditions for specific information.
