Expert review

You can take advantage of a competitive earn rate and boost your rewards with bonus points when you use the Qantas Premier Platinum Mastercard. To give some examples, you could fly return from Perth to Singapore in business class (50,000 points each way) or return from Melbourne to Los Angeles in economy (45,000 points each way) with 120,000 Qantas Points.

Although the total bonus points offer is high, it’s important to pay attention to the offer conditions. Unlike some other Qantas Frequent Flyer credit cards, the spend requirement is staggered and you won’t get the total bonus points unless you meet the spend requirement for all six months.

How to apply

You can apply for the Qantas Premier Platinum online in 10 minutes. Before you apply, check if you meet the eligibility criteria and that you have the necessary information to complete the application:

Eligibility criteria

  • Income. You must earn at least $35,000 per year to apply for this card.
  • Current Qantas Premier cardholder status. You won't be eligible to apply for this card if you are the primary cardholder of another Qantas Premier credit card account.

Card benefits

  • Discounted annual fee. Apply by 26 February 2020 and save with a reduced annual fee of $199 for the first year ($299 p.a. thereafter).
  • Up to 120,000 bonus Qantas Points. Each month for the first 6 months from card approval, you will earn 20,000 bonus Qantas Points when you spend at least $1,500 on eligible purchases. You must apply and be approved for a new Qantas Premier Platinum by 26 February 2020. Eligible purchases include most everyday spending but exclude things like cash advances, balance transfers, BPAY payments and government related transactions. Your bonus points will be credited to your account within 6 to 8 weeks of meeting the spend requirement.

Rates & fees

  • Annual fee. Outside of any promotions, this card charges a standard annual fee of $299 p.a.
  • Purchase rate. The variable purchase interest rate for this card is 19.99% p.a.

    I would like to close my current credit card and transfer to the Qantas Premier Master card. Would it be easier to just pay the balance outright and cancel the card and then apply for the Qantas Premier Master card? If I am a current Qantas Ultimate Amex cardmember, does this make you ineligible to apply for the Qantas Premier Master Card?

      Hi Laurie,

      Thanks for your comment. Hope you are well.

      Yes, you are able to cancel and close a credit card by first paying out the balance outright and cancelling the card. To cancel a card, you can do it online however it would still be best to contact your bank for any outstanding balance. Further steps on how to close and cancel your credit card in Australia can be found on this page.

      You are able/eligible to apply for this card however, as it says on the terms & conditions, the 120,000 bonus Qantas Points will not be awarded if you as the primary cardholder currently hold a Qantas Premier Everyday, Qantas Premier Platinum or Qantas Premier Titanium credit card, or have closed, or qualified for bonus Qantas Points on any of those Qantas Premier credit cards within the last 12 months. As a friendly reminder, check the eligibility requirements of the card before proceeding with your application. Also, read about its features and benefits and see how it fits your financial needs. Additionally, it’s helpful to review the PDS and Terms & Conditions of the card before fully committing to the card. You may also reach out to the bank if you have any clarifications.

      Hope this helps and feel free to reach out to us again for further assistance.

      Best,
      Nikki

    To get the bonus points you need to spend $1,500 per month but if you have a balance transfer won’t this affect the interest rate you pay? Will purchases be charged at interest rate around 20% from time of purchased? Do you still get interest free days (normally 55 days) on new purchases?

      Hi Lance,

      Thanks for contacting Finder.

      No, the Balance Transfer Interest Rate will not affect your Purchase Interest Rate which is at 19.99% p.a.

      New purchases will accrue the Standard Purchase Interest Rate mentioned above. Yes, you can take advantage of the 55 days Interest Free Period given that you will be paying your closing balance at its due date.

      I hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Ash

    Is Complimentary Lounge Access available in all the airports or only Qantas owned? If only Qantas owned, than it’s not much good is it because these lounges are only in Australia? Who needs lounge access when departing from Australia?

      Hi Dave,

      Thanks for contacting Finder.

      For the Complimentary Lounge Invites, you can access the Qantas Club Lounges as well as their operated International Business Lounges except the Los Angeles Tom Bradley Terminal International Business Lounge.

      I hope this helps.

      Hi Noel,

      Thanks for getting in touch! The complimentary travel insurance of this Qantas card is limited up until 80 years of age at the time of travel. This also is the same for a wife or fiancé(e) or a de-facto and/or life partner, who is not over eighty 80 years of age at any time during a Trip, and with whom the Cardmember has continuously cohabited for a period of six (6) months or more.

      As a friendly reminder, check the eligibility requirements of the card before proceeding with your application. Also, read about its features and benefits and see how it fits your financial needs. Additionally, it’s helpful to review the PDS and Terms & Conditions of the card before fully committing to the card. You may also reach out to the bank if you have any clarifications.

      Hope this helps and feel free to reach out to us again for further assistance.

      With care,

    I have a NAB Platinum One Qantas card and only receive points up to a $6000 spend. Can I get a NAB Qantas card that awards points on more than a $6000 spend?

      Hi Bill,

      Thank you for your comment.

      Upon checking, I am sorry to inform your that you will not qualify for the NAB Qantas Rewards Signature Card bonus points because this is not available to existing customers who have received or are entitled to receive NAB Qantas Rewards Bonus Points for a new personal NAB Qantas Rewards credit card in the twelve months prior to the opening of a NAB Qantas Rewards Signature Card, NAB Qantas Rewards Premium Card or NAB Qantas Rewards Card. Offer is not available when closing/transferring from another NAB credit card account or in conjunction with any other NAB offer.

      Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.

      Regards,
      Jhezelyn

      Hi Matt,

      Thanks for contacting Finder.

      Unfortunately, the Qantas Premier Platinum Mastercard is not offered to temporary residents in Australia.

      You may compare the Credit Cards listed at this page which you can apply to even if you are a temporary resident.

      Please make sure though to read the eligibility criteria, features and details of the card, as well as the relevant PDS/ T&Cs of the card before making a decision and consider whether the product is right for you.

      I hope this helps.

      Kind regards,
      Ash

      Hi James,

      Thanks for contacting Finder.

      Yes, you can take advantage of the 120,000 bonus Qantas points from the Qantas Premier Platinum Mastercard even if you have the Woolworths Qantas Platinum Credit Card. The Credit Cards that you shouldn’t have to be able to earn the bonus points are: Qantas Premier Everyday, Qantas Premier Platinum or Qantas Premier Titanium.

      I hope this helps.

      Please do not hesitate to reach out again if you have additional questions.

      Hi Vip,

      Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.

      The complimentary travel insurance of this credit card is activated and effective when you pay a minimum of $500 and/or pay the full amount of the return domestic or overseas travel ticket by charging the payment to your Qantas Premier Credit Card or by redeeming Qantas points earned on the Qantas Premier Credit Card. The Trip must commence and end in Australia. Cover is not activated until a minimum of $500 and/or full amount has been
      paid for a return ticket (i.e. if you pay for a one-way ticket, you are not covered under these benefits). This cover is underwritten by Chubb Insurance. Kindly call them directly if you need further assistance on claims.

      I hope this helps.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Jeni

      Hi Brooke,

      Thanks for your inquiry.

      Having an American Express card should not restrict you from applying for this credit card. This means that, yes, you are eligible to apply for Qantas Premier Platinum card.

      I hope this helps.

      Thanks for contacting Finder.

      The start of the month will be upon the approval of your Credit Card and will end a day before the approval day of the following month. You may contact Qantas through their contact centre to have this verified.

      I hope this helps.
