Staff members in my branch are very helpful and made the process very easy. I have my credit card linked to Qantas points and the annual fee is waived as part of my home loan advantage package. I also receive complimentary travel insurance through the credit card, which is very helpful.
Use it for everything to earn more points

I don’t pay an annual fee for the credit card as it’s part of my home loan package, and this is for the life of the loan.
I have all my direct debits coming out of this card, as well as grocery shopping, etc, so I can earn as many points as possible to redeem for flights or other items.
