How long does it take for the points to be paid – if I make the $4000 minimum spend before 60 days, will the points be paid earlier, or only after 60 days?
Hi Felicity,
Thanks for getting in touch with finder.
When you meet the spend requirements of $4000 minimum within the 60 days allowance, your points will be credited after the 60 days elapse.
Hope this clarifies!

I am retired, I receive a reduced centrelink pension because my wife is working.
I draw down some super as needed. Am I eligible for a card to receive 100,000 bonus points.
Hi Mick,
Thanks for getting in touch with finder. I hope all is well for you. :)
You can apply for this card and get approved provided that you meet all the eligibility requirements. Upon applying, you will need to provide your proof of income, employment history, and other personal details.
Moreover, you won’t automatically receive the 100K bonus points. You must first meet the spending requirements, which is outlined on our page.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Joshua
Hi,
If I were to pay a fine for $4000 with this credit card via BPAY would that count as an everyday purchase? Would I still receive the 100,000 bonus points?
Hi Z,
Thank you for getting in touch with finder.
As a friendly reminder, while we do not represent any company we feature on our pages, we can offer you general advice.
Some bill payments like paying a fine may be treated as cash advances based on how they are processed. For example, if your BPAY biller isn’t setup to accept credit card payments but you pay with your credit card anyway, your card provider will process the payment as a cash advance and accordingly charge you the cash advance interest rate (and a cash advance fee). You won’t earn points when this happens either. When in doubt, you should always clarify with your biller if they accept credit card payments.
Please note that the minimum spend required to get bonus points usually relates to eligible purchases only. These can vary between cards, but they usually include everyday spending on groceries, petrol, dining and retail shopping. Common exclusions are cash advances, BPAY transactions and government charges.
I hope this helps.
Have a great day!
Cheers,
Jeni
I am considering applying for a NAB Qantas Rewards Signature card. I am fully retired with a defined benefit pension that is indexed against CPI for the rest of my life. That means that I don’t have an employer, but I can prove my defined benefit pension payments. Can that qualify for this card? Thank you.
Hi Steven,
Thank you for getting in touch with finder.
Generally, NAB accepts pensioner or retired applicants. When you apply, you may be asked your most recent pension benefit statement. If you don’t have an account with NAB, just get identified by filling out all the necessary fields while processing your application online.
You may want to know which other banks accept retired and pensioner applicants, please check this guide.
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any other enquiries.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
