Expert review

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.
