The ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum Credit Card
Providing plenty of platinum perks and a very appealing introductory offer, the ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum Credit Card is a platinum card that lets you earn Qantas Points as you shop. Apply today and you could benefit from 75,000 bonus Qantas Points and $150 back on your card, by spending $2,500 on eligible purchases within three months of account opening.
What we love...
Love travel? The ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum Credit Card may indeed be the perfect card for you. Allowing you to earn Qantas Points on your everyday spending, this card could let you travel further, while paying less. And with 75,000 bonus Qantas Points currently on offer to new cardholders who meet the spend criteria, you could travel even further than you thought.
All you need to do to be eligible for this offer is be approved as a new cardholder (you cannot currently hold or have held an ANZ Frequent Flyer Black, ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum, ANZ Frequent Flyer Gold or an ANZ Frequent Flyer credit card in your name in the past 12 months). Then spend $2,500 on eligible purchases within three months and the bonus points are yours.
Within three months of making that eligible $2,500 spend on purchases, the 75,000 bonus Qantas Points will be credited to your account, along with your $150 back on your card. To give you an idea of the value of those bonus points, here’s what you could choose to redeem them for:
- For 66,200 Qantas Points, you could fly from Sydney to Paris, from Perth to New York, or from Brisbane to Dublin.
- Or, you could opt for some retail therapy, redeeming 47,250 Qantas Points for a $250 Harvey Norman gift card or a $250 David Jones gift card.
On a day-to-day basis, it’s easy to earn Qantas Points on your spending. The points you earn will be automatically credited to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account, and if you don’t have an account, the ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum Credit Card will provide you with complimentary Qantas Frequent Flyer membership.
You can earn 0.75 Qantas Points per $1 spent up to $3,000 per statement period, and 0.5 Qantas Points per $1 spent thereafter. You can also earn 1 bonus Qantas Point per $1 spent on selected Qantas products and services, as well as bonus points with ANZ’s Bonus Partners. There is no limit on the amount of bonus points you can earn within each statement period.
What’s not so great...
As you will usually find with platinum credit cards, the ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum Credit Card has a relatively high purchase rate and cash advance rate. So, to make all the rewards and features on offer worthwhile, you will have to avoid interest accruing by clearing your balance by the due date each month.
Again, similar to many other platinum rewards cards, the ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum Credit Card has a high annual fee. You can choose to add up to nine additional cardholders, but be aware that an annual fee will be charged for each. On top of that, some cardholders may not be that impressed with the card’s earn rate. But, the value of that earn rate will depend on your spend.
Why should you choose this card?
As a platinum rewards card earning Qantas Points, the ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum Credit Card is the ideal option for anyone who wants to earn on the Qantas program while enjoying some nice platinum perks on the side. In terms of features, the card offers the following complimentary insurance covers:
- International Travel Insurance for up to 6 months for cardholders, their spouses and/or dependants
- Interstate Flight Inconvenience Insurance
- Rental Vehicle Excess In Australia Insurance
- Extended Warranty Insurance
- Guaranteed Pricing Scheme
- Purchase Protection Insurance
You can also benefit from the assistance of a Personal Concierge, available 24/7 to help with anything from travel arrangements to restaurant reservations, plus access to exclusive entertainment and lifestyle offers through Visa Offers + Perks, and up to 55 days interest free on purchases.

Payment for rent...Would that be classified as eligible purchases?
Hi Edwin, typically not. It depends how you are paying your rent, and usually it's pretty tricky to do this with a credit card. You don't earn points on cash advances. Cash advances include (but are not limited to): funds being wire transferred, funds being used to pay a bill at a bank branch or approved agent of the biller, fund being used to make a payment to a person who doesn't accept credit cards (including BPAY), and where the funds are used for a transaction to an intermediary financial institution. I hope that helps.
My question is about car rental excess insurance. Does ANZ frequent flyer platinum cover single vehicle incidents like a car body scratch in a car park? Also, in your opinion how does it compare with a standalone car rental excess insurance?
Hi RP, have a check through this PDF - https://www.anz.com.au/content/dam/anzcomau/documents/pdf/premium-cards-insurances.pdf. 5.1.1 a) Rental vehicle damage or theft • Up to $5,000 each for a cardholder or a spouse, with all accompanying dependants participating in the limit available to a cardholder or a spouse, or damage to or theft of the rental vehicle. I assume this would include single vehicle incidents. You can reach out to the insurer directly with any specific queries [email protected]. I think this insurance is comparable with any standalone. To get value from your credit card. You need to take advantage of all the features when you can.
How do I avail myself of the services of the personal concierge who is allegedly available 24/7 to help me make bookings for OS travel?
Hi Ruth, contact the ANZ Concierge Service 24-hours a day at 1300 580 765 or, if you’re overseas, at +61 2 8987 1677- https://www.anz.com.au/personal/credit-cards/using/rewards/concierge/.
Do you know if you can set a limit of $2,500 on the ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum Credit Card?
Minimum credit limit is $6,000 - therefore that's as low as you can go for this card.
Hi Roland, My question relates to the ANZ frequent flyer platinum card. Can I cancel as soon as I pay off the minimum $2k spend and the card fee and still receive the 50,000 qantas points? Also, can I set a $2,500 limit? Thanks!
Hi Sarah, you can cancel a credit card at any time you can pay it off. Though if you cancel to quickly. That is, before the bonus points are in your Qantas account. Then you are likely to lose them. I would suggest that you wait until that time. Then if the card is not beneficial to keep for the 2nd year annual fee. Then I would cancel it any time after the bonus points hit your Qantas Frequent Flyer account.

28 January 2013Fairly easy to earn points plus you get a good start up bonus and free Qantas FF membership. You get the usual platinum benefits – insurances, concierge etc. Also no points capping.
