The ANZ Frequent Flyer Credit Card

As a basic rewards credit card, the ANZ Frequent Flyer Credit Card offers an easy way to earn Qantas Points on everyday purchases, while keeping it simple elsewhere. As a cardholder, you can benefit from all the essential features you would expect from a credit card, with a very appealing introductory offer thrown in as well.

What we love...

Enjoy collecting Qantas points when you use the ANZ Frequent Flyer Credit Card on your everyday purchases. What’s great about this card is that it’ll let you earn frequent flyer points with no capping. Eligible purchases include groceries, dining, travel, petrol and retail shopping and exclude cash advances, balance transfers, fees and transactions for gambling or gaming purposes.

Boost your points earned when you add up to three additional cardholders to your account as purchases by additional cardholders also earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points that are credited to the account holder’s points record.

What’s not so great...

For the most part, rewards cards are not ‘low rate’ credit cards. Unfortunately, the ANZ Frequent Flyer Credit Card joins its rewards cards brothers in having a relatively high rate of interest on both purchases and cash advances. Of course, this may not matter to you if you always pay your balance in full each month, but it’s worth bearing in mind.

As for the card’s annual fee, this is neither high nor low. What you need to think about as a cardholder is whether the annual fee you pay is less than the value of rewards you get in return. That means looking at the card’s earn rate, and how much it will allow you to earn with the type of spending you do most.

Why should you choose this card?

If you want a simple credit card that allows you to earn points on the Qantas Frequent Flyer program, the ANZ Frequent Flyer Credit Card may just give you what you need. You can benefit from complimentary Qantas Frequent Flyer membership, giving you a saving of $99.50, and the following earn rate:

  • 0.5 Qantas Points per $1 spent up to $500 per statement period,
  • 0.25 Qantas Points per $1 thereafter,
  • 1 bonus Qantas Point per $1 spent on selected Qantas products and services,
  • Plus bonus points with ANZ’s Bonus Partners.

There is no limit on the number of bonus points you can earn in a statement period. Other features on offer include access to special offers through Visa Offers + Perks, up to 55 days interest free on purchases, and all the basics you generally find on credit cards.

Overall Rating

ANZ Frequent Flyer Credit Card lets you earn uncapped Qantas Points on your everyday purchases while enjoying other essential benefits with a lower annual fee.

Good card for an entry level card combo - shame that they advertise bonus points on Qantas Products, but then exclude Qantas Hotels.

Capping of QANTAS is a major disincentive. Very disappointed.

This was my first delve into the world of rewards cards. I had a standard card before and was always happy, but then I started travelling more and wanted to get something back. This card has been easy to build up my points. Annual fee is not bad compared to other similar cards

Roland I am an aged pensioner, married and own own residence. 18 mths ago a goose at ANZ dropped my credit limit from 18,000 to 6,000 when I was told I could get a qantas card and 50,000 points, he stuffed me up. OK I can manage with $6000 as the bank pays my card on the due date from my savings so no probs, but I really want a frequent flyer card as we like to travel and we purchase everything on credit. What can I do. Thx
