Purchase rate

20.99% p.a. ongoing

Interest-free days

Annual fee

$75.00 for 1st year

Highlights

A hidden gem of a platinum card if you’re after rewards and perks. Spend $4,500 within 3 months and earn 100,000 Q Rewards points—which can be converted to Velocity or Flybuys points. Earn 2 Q Rewards points per $1 on eligible purchases, plus extras you'd expect with a platinum card, like purchase protection and travel insurance. Balance transfers get a 0% p.a. rate for 12 months (1% fee applies), reverting to 21.99% p.a. after that.


Pros

  • Earn up to 2 Q Rewards Points for every $1 spent on eligible transactions.
  • 0% p.a. on balance transfers for 12 months with a 1% balance transfer fee.

BOQ Blue Visa Credit Card

Not available for application via this website

Balance transfer

6 months at 0% p.a.

Purchase rate

20.99% p.a. ongoing

Interest-free days

44 days

Annual fee

$89.00 p.a. ongoing

Highlights

This is a solid balance transfer offer card with rewards on new spending. Right now, spend $3,500 in the first 3 months and get 50,000 bonus Q Rewards points. The annual fee is competitive for a rewards card. A good choice if you want points and a balance transfer deal, but be mindful of juggling repayments and earning points.


Pros

  • Get 50,000 bonus Q Rewards points when you spend $3,500 within 3 months of approval.
  • 0% p.a. on balance transfers for 6 months (1% fee applies).
  • Earn 1 Q Rewards point per $1 on eligible spending.
  • Low annual fee for a rewards credit card.
  • Free purchase protection insurance.

Cons

  • Can't transfer Q Rewards points to partner programs, unlike the BOQ Platinum Visa Credit Card.
  • Balance transfer reverts to 21.99% p.a. after the promotional period.
  • The 44-day interest-free period is shorter than some cards offering up to 55 days.
  • $15 charge per additional card.
BOQ Low Rate Visa Credit Card

Not available for application via this website

Balance transfer

18 months at 0% p.a.

Purchase rate

12 months at 0% p.a.

Interest-free days

55 days

Annual fee

$65.00 p.a. ongoing

Highlights

Get 0% p.a. on balance transfers for 18 months, but keep in mind a 2% transfer fee applies, and unpaid balances will mean interest on new purchases. After the promo, the rate reverts to 21.99% p.a. On the plus side, everyday spending gets a low 13.99% p.a. rate, and you’ll enjoy up to 55 interest-free days on purchases. A decent option for cutting interest, but best suited if you can clear the balance before the revert rate kicks in.


Pros

  • 0% p.a. for 18 months on balance transfers
  • Low 13.99% p.a. purchase interest rate

Cons

  • No rewards points or cashback.
  • A one-time 2% balance transfer applies.

  • 3.4% fee on international transactions.
  • Additional cards come with a fee.
