Woolworths Qantas Frequent Flyer Credit Card

Last updated on 3 May 2013

If you have been shopping around for a credit card which is just right for you, you will have noticed by now that you can often find a good points earning card or a low fee credit card, but there are very few which will do both. Read More ›

That is where the Woolworths Qantas credit card comes in to fill that niche. The Woolworths Qantas credit card offers you the affordability and great value which mirrors a successful grocery run, while also giving you the great earn rate for Qantas Frequent Flyer points – i.e. 1 Qantas Frequent Flyer Point for every $1 spent everywhere Mastercard is accepted, at a relatively low annual fee of $89 (compared to most similar cards in the market).

This card is also especially good for people that shop at Woolworths or partner stores. This MasterCard competes directly against much higher annual fee rewards cards.

Earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points at a great rate. Use the Woolworths Qantas credit card everywhere you can to earn 1 Qantas Frequent Flyer point for every $1 you spend on most purchases. Shop, eat out, pay your bills and watch your Frequent Flyer points balance grow. There’s no points cap and points don’t expire while your Frequent Flyer account stays active.

Good earning - 1 point for $1 spent everywhere. You dont need to just shop in Woolies but shopping there does get you extras. For a rewards card the annual fee is low as well. If trying to save points they dont expire and you dont get capped - awesome.

I shop all the time in Woolies so this was the best choice for me. I can earn points on my weekly shop and get rewards I want. The annual fee doesn’t break the bank but the purchase rate is a bit high. Not bad if you want to do balance transfers though.

    Hi – I have tried to sign up for this card a couple of time, but I get an error message saying that the Qantas FF details I entered do not match those on the number I provided. I have doubled checked this and they do, however, the application will not let me proceed without this step.

    What is the contact number for this credit card? And is there another method of applying?
    Cheers

    Hey Tom, thanks for that info. For the record, I contacted our bank today who said paying a mortgage with a credit card is illegal as you can’t pay credit with credit. In saying that, she did say that you could use the card and pay the monthly mortgage as a BPay payment instead. Would you still earn f/flyer points on a BPay payment?

      May 9th, 2013 at 9:16am

      Hi Ben, I’m told that you can earn the points this way – your bank needs to be set up and registered as a BPay biller in order to do so.

    I have had a wool everyday rewards card for less than 12 months. I have just received a dvice that this card will be cancelled. No reason given I assume it is due to paying work related ATO accounts to earn qFF points. Have you had this issue previously. What other card options are available with no cap.

    Where does the $89 annual fee come into it? I thought it was for the ‘platinum’ card only?

    • user pic

      Tom

      May 7th, 2013 at 2:55pm

      Hi Ben, it is classed as a platinum card by Woolworths. The high annual fee is probably on account of the high flyer point earning ratio, 1 point per $1 dollar spent.

    We would like to use this card to pay all of our monthly bills (utilities etc) as well as our monthly mortgage repayments. Do we earn f/flyer points by doing so? Thanks.

      Tom

      May 7th, 2013 at 3:09pm

      Hi Ben, we believe you can earn points paying bills. Not government fees or charges however. The mortgage payments – you need to check if your home loan provider accepts card payments or not. You should be able to earn points doing both.

      April 29th, 2013 at 4:48pm

      Hi Lea – that sounds great, you would just need to re-apply for a card. Do be aware that if you want to transfer a balance from another credit card you wouldn’t be able to get the same rate as advertised. Also if you have a current HSBC credit card you won’t be eligible for the balance transfer rate. It may depend on why you closed your other account whether or not you experience any issues with your application, so it could be worth checking your credit history and checking any issues with the bank before applying here.

      Hi Leanne – we do not capture personal information from application forms as you are taken directly to the bank’s secure application form when you click through. You could easily start another application though. Otherwise you would need to contact the bank directly.

      Roland

      April 23rd, 2013 at 8:51am

      Hi Sandy, you can become an additional cardholder on someone else’s existing Woolworths EDR or Qantas credit card, but this entitles you to redeem fuel saving vouchers only, not Qantas frequent flyer points or other benefits. You don’t need to apply here to become an additional cardholder, the primary account holder would need to request you be added with Woolworths/HSBC directly. If you wish to apply for this card and have someone else become an additional cardholder on your account you could certainly do that from here.

    Hi,

    I can see you have answered a question saying business purchases are not eligible. Does that mean we can’t use this card to pay for business purchases or does that just mean we don’t earn frequent flyer points on these purchases? If so, what is the best rewards card we can use for business purposes? Thanks

    • user pic

      Roland

      April 8th, 2013 at 9:50am

      Hi Karla – this only means that you won’t earn points on purchases which are ultimately business expenses (so, for example, paying a utility bill in the business’s name etc). These purchases are fine to make with the card, but won’t earn frequent flyer points. Your general expenses while away, for example dinner out or groceries, would not be counted as business expenses. If you are interested in a business credit card, you could check out the options on our business credit card page, or if it is still mainly for your personal use and you are interested in earning frequent flyer points, perhaps check out our frequent flyer table and see which card will help you earn more frequent flyer points

      Hi RGaness, this card does not offer travel insurance, but it does have card repayment protection insurance. This means you can have your repayments guaranteed if you are unable to pay them for a certain period of time or up to a certain amount.

      Hi Carly, you can login to your account on the Woolworths Money page once your account and card are set up. This lets you see your balance and statements, pay bills, setup direct debits, change your pin and access info and monitor transactions. Checking your balance at an ATM may incur a transaction fee.

    If I open this card and transfer a balance from Bankwest does the original card get automatically cancelled? with thanks

    • user pic

      Roland

      March 8th, 2013 at 8:42am

      Hi Alison, no your original card will not be cancelled. You would need to allow the transfer to happen so the balance is on your new card, then make sure any applicable fees or charges etc are cleared up and request the card be closed with Bankwest. This usually involves a phone call and you may receive a final statement. Hope that helps!

    If you pay your credit card out within the 55 days to zero then make another purchase the next day still within that original 55 days is that new amount charged to the card part of a new 55 day period or can we not spend anything until after that original 55 day period is over?

    • user pic

      Roland

      March 7th, 2013 at 3:46pm

      Hi Rebecca this depends on how close to the payment due date you paid off your balance. The longer into your statement period you make the purchase, the less interest free days you actually get. The 55-day period starts from the date you make a purchase, so if we’ve understood your example correctly the interest free days on the second purchase would expire on the payment due date, which could be one, two or three weeks from the transaction date depending. However long you have until payment is due would be the interest free period in this case.

    Hi!
    Where it says you get an extra point per dollar spend over $30 at Woolworths – does that mean you get 31 points for $31 spent or 1 point for the point over $30?

    • user pic

      Roland

      March 7th, 2013 at 3:52pm

      Hi Rebecca, it would actually be 32 points per $31 spend (you get the double point on that last dollar). Every dollar beyond the $30 earns you 2 points, as long as it’s a participating Woolies group store – and an eligible purchase, i.e not tobacco or gambling products, not BigW goft cards and not some online purchases, DVD Kiosk purchases or freight charges. That’s all spelled out in the terms and conditions when you click through to the card’s own page. Hope that makes sense?

      Hi Frank, according to the terms and conditions on the page for this card points can’t be earned on business expenses, government charges, interest charges and nterest free promotions, balance transfers and cash advances.

      Hi Dawn, points are earned on eligible purchases anywhere, not just at Woolworths, but you do get extra points for shopping with partner retailers and on in-store promotions etc. Our customer reviews under this card also discuss this. Hope that helps!

    • user pic

      Roland

      February 14th, 2013 at 2:12pm

      Hi Bruce, unfortunately eligible purchases do not include balance transfers, so the balance transfer won’t earn 16 000 points. Bear in mind that the points can only be accrued on purchases which are eligible as per clause 1 of the terms and conditions. The terms and conditions do state that you have to be an Everyday Rewards member as well as a Qantas Frequent Flyer member to be able to collect the points, and they tell you when you have to make the first purchase using the card to earn points under the offer too. You can join the Qantas Frequent Flyer program at the same time as you apply for this card. Hope that helps!
