Expert review

The Frequent Flyer Diners Club card has a decent earn rate of 1 Qantas Point per $1 spent on eligible transactions, with an additional 1 point per $1 for spending with Qantas. While Diners Club isn’t as widely accepted as American Express, Mastercard or Visa, you can use it at major businesses including Coles, David Jones, Kmart, Target and Woolworths.

The perks on this card range from complimentary insurance to airport lounge access and Diners Club Shipping if you shop online with US stores. But the cost of the card and its more limited acceptance means it’s still worth comparing against other frequent flyer cards – or even the Frequent Flyer Diners Club + World Mastercard option that gives you more scope for spending.

Additional Qantas Point per $1 spent with Qantas. You'll get an additional point per $1 spent directly with Qantas Australia when you use your Diners Club card to pay for Qantas flights with a QF flight number, Qantas Club membership or Qantas Frequent Flyer membership.
