More about Qantas Money credit cards

Answers for common questions and helpful insight into the key benefits from our experts.

  • FAQs

Can you have a Qantas Money credit card without switching bank?

Yes. Your credit card account is separate from your normal banking arrangements. You can continue to do your everyday banking with your current bank and pay off your Qantas Money credit card balance using BPAY, direct debit, or Australia Post.

How do I earn Qantas Points with a Qantas Money credit card?

When you make retail purchases with your Qantas Money credit card you will earn the card’s specified number of points per dollar spent. For example, if you card has a rate of 1.0 Qantas Points per whole dollar spent, and you make a purchase totalling $78.50, you would earn 78 Qantas Points for that transaction.

Do Qantas Money credit cards earn Qantas Points with every transaction?

No. Qantas Points are only earned on eligible purchase transactions. The following types of transactions are excluded from earning Qantas Points:

  • Cash transactions, such as balance transfers and cash advances;
  • Cash equivalents, such as purchases of foreign currency or traveller’s cheques;
  • Account fees and interest charges;
  • Payments made by BPAY;
  • Government-related transactions, such as payments to the ATO, Australia Post, local government rates, tolls, parking meters, public transport fares, fines;
  • Transactions made in the operation of a business.

How are Qantas Points transferred from Qantas Money to Qantas Frequent Flyer?

When applying for the card you need to supply your Qantas Frequent Flyer membership number. At the end of each monthly billing cycle, the number of Qantas Points earned during that month will be shown on your card statement. It can take up to 60 days for Qantas Points to appear in your Qantas Frequent Flyer account.

Do Qantas Money cap how many Qantas Points can be earned in a single month or year?

Each Qantas Money credit card has a monthly spending threshold for purchases in Australia, beyond which the earning rate declines, e.g. 1.0 Qantas Points per $1 spent up to $10,000 per monthly statement period, dropping to 0.5 Qantas Points per $1 spent after. A separate threshold may apply to spending on Qantas flights and services or when made overseas.

Do Qantas Money reward spending with Qantas with extra Qanta Points?

Yes. All Qantas Money cards typically offer a higher earning rate for Qantas Money credit card purchases of Qantas flights booked directly through Qantas and selected travel agents, and for purchases of Qantas Frequent Flyer or Qantas Club membership, joining and annual fees, Qantas Gift Vouchers, and purchases from qantasshop.com.au, qantasstore.com.au, and qantasepiqure.com.au.

Do additional Qantas Money cardholders earn Qantas Points?

Yes, but any Qantas Points they earn will be credited to the Qantas Frequent Flyer account of the primary cardholder. Purchases made by additional cardholders do not earn Qantas Points for the additional cardholder.
