The BankSA Amplify Signature Credit Card - Qantas
Even though it offers the highest Qantas earn rate within BankSA’s Amplify range, the BankSA Amplify Signature Credit Card still works hard to entice new cardholders, providing 90,000 bonus Qantas Points. As for extras, cardholders can benefit from Qantas Lounge passes, birthday bonus points, and complimentary insurance covers.
What we love...
It’s hard to go past 90,000 Qantas Points without thinking about where it could take you. With 83,000 points, you could fly return in business from Sydney to Christchurch, or you could book an economy flight from Melbourne to Los Angeles for 41,900 points each way. Point calculations accurate at the time of publishing (which may be subject to change without notice). All routes may have additional taxes and charges.
If you want to make your travel dreams a reality, those 90,000 bonus Qantas Points could be yours if you apply and are approved by 30 November 2021. All you need to do to be eligible is spend $6,000 on eligible purchases within 90 days of card approval. After that minimum spend, 90,000 Qantas Points will be winging their way to your account within 12 short weeks.
In terms of everyday earning, the BankSA Amplify Signature Credit Card is a nice little earner. You can earn 0.75 Qantas Points per $1 on eligible purchases at home and overseas, uncapped. To earn double points, simply use your card with Qantas Frequent Flyer Program partners to earn once with your card and once with the program partner.
Another pleasing feature of this card is its birthday bonus points. With this, you will receive an additional 10% of the points you earned in the previous 12 months, within four weeks of your birthday. Note, this feature is given to the primary cardholder only, but the birthday bonus may be accessed by all account owners.
What’s not so great
We need to point out that the card’s annual fee is quite high. Cardholders may find other Qantas rewards cards that provide a higher earn rate for a similar annual fee. However, if you find value from the rewards you earn and the extras you use, then this card’s annual fee may be worth paying.
Meanwhile, with its relatively high purchase rate and cash advance rate, it’s best to avoid cash advances, while clearing the balance each statement period.
Why should you choose this card?
An excellent option for anyone looking to earn Qantas Points while enjoying an array of extras, the BankSA Amplify Signature Credit Card offers plenty of value to big spenders and frequent travellers. If you happen to have an additional cardholder you want to add to the account, you can do so free of charge, allowing you to earn points faster day to day.
As a cardholder, you can benefit from two Qantas Lounge passes each year. A great feature, this is available to all BankSA Amplify Signature Credit Card holders each year, as long as they spend at least $1 on their card within the preceding 12 months. Cardholders can also enjoy complimentary Qantas membership if they are not yet a member, offering a saving of $99.50.
On top of that, the card provides complimentary insurance cover in the form of travel insurance, providing cover for trips up to six months for you, your spouse and your dependent children. This cover includes medical expenses, unexpected cancellation and rental vehicle excess. Extended warranty insurance and a price guarantee are also provided.
Overall Rating
Providing an excellent selection of extras, the BankSA Amplify Signature Credit Card makes it easy to earn Qantas rewards while taking advantage of handy features. Cardholders can enjoy Qantas Lounge access, birthday bonus points and complimentary insurance plus 90,000 bonus Qantas Points.
