Our verdict

No longer offered in the market

The Jetstar Credit Card is issued by Macquarie Bank and packed with extra features to reward loyal Jetstar flyers. If you’re a regular Jetstar flyer, you can earn Jetstar Dollars that you can redeem for travel vouchers with the airline. If you prefer to earn Qantas Points as you spend, there are some other cards with more competitive earn rates.

You could repay your debt faster and cheaper with the interest-free balance transfer, but you won’t earn points this way. The Jetstar Credit Card charges a competitive purchase rate, but you’ll get the most value from your points if you’re paying off your balance in full each month and avoiding interest altogether.

Pros

$250 travel voucher
$0 first-year annual fee ($29 p.a. thereafter)
0% p.a. on balance transfers for 14 months, with no BT fee

Cons

Purchase interest rate is relatively high
Does not come with concierge services or complimentary travel insurance

The Jetstar Credit Card is no longer available for new applications. However, we’ve kept the information online for the benefit of existing customers and for those who are interested.

In the meantime, you can compare frequent flyer credit cards from other providers.
