Expert review

The Qantas Premier Everyday Mastercard doesn't have the biggest bonus points offer on the market and, unlike many other offers, the bonus points are awarded based on each $1 you spend. That means, to collect the maximum 8,000 bonus Qantas Points on offer, you’d need to spend $4,000 in the first 4 months – an average of around $1,000 per month. That spend requirement is still competitive when compared to other frequent flyer cards with low annual fees.

To give you an idea of your points potential, you could use 8,000 Qantas Points for a one-way economy flight from Brisbane to Sydney (8,000 points). If flying isn’t on the cards yet, you could also use these points to get $25 worth of Woolworths WISH digital gift cards through the Qantas Store (5,220 points for one $25 gift card).

Keep in mind that points per $1 spent are the main Qantas Frequent Flyer benefit on this card, so if you want a bigger bonus points offer or perks like Qantas Club lounge invitations and discounts, you could consider the Qantas Premier Platinum Mastercard.
