Review of the Qantas Premier Everyday Mastercard
The Qantas Premier Everyday Mastercard is a low fee option for cardholders who want to earn Qantas Points for every dollar they spend. Although rewarding, this card comes with fewer extra features than the higher-tier Qantas Premier Platinum credit card.
The Qantas Premier Everyday Mastercard charges a 19.99% p.a. purchase interest rate, so it’s not suited to cardholders who plan to carry a balance from month to month. If you do pay your balance in full each statement period, you can take advantage of up to 55 interest-free days.

- $0 first year annual fee. Apply by 30 June 2018 and benefit from an annual fee waiver in the first year.
- EpiQure voucher. Get rewarded with a $50 Qantas epiQure voucher, with a minimum spend of $100. You can use this to purchase some of Australia's finest wines and gourmet food via the Qantas epiQure store.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for getting in touch with finder.
The answer to your question depends on ANZ or your chosen bank. Though it makes sense that the bank would like to have a better and complete picture of your finances, they will still primarily take into consideration your income. However, you need to realize that reporting your wife’s income may also increase your chance of getting approved as it also reflects your ability to pay.
The best course of action is to directly get in touch with ANZ. They will most likely give you a more personalised answer.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Joshua
