The Qantas Premier Everyday Credit Card
If you want a card that offers a lot but costs a little, the Qantas Premier Everyday Credit Card could well be worth looking into. This card not only allows you to earn Qantas Points on your everyday spending, it also provides a fantastic range of features for a teeny-tiny standard annual fee.
But that’s not all, if you apply by 26 February 2020, you could take home up to 25,000 bonus Qantas Points. Broken down to 5,000 points per month when you spend $1,000 or more on eligible purchases per month, for a total of 25,000 points over the first 5 months.
What we love...
Fancy taking a trip? The Qantas Premier Everyday Credit Card could get you there that little bit faster, with its current bonus points offer. You get 5,000 points per month when you spend $1,000 or more on eligible purchases per month, for a total of 25,000 points over the first 5 months to spend as you like.
Another winning feature on the Qantas Premier Everyday Credit Card is its annual fee. This card could help you save with its smaller-than-average annual fee. Incredibly low for a Qantas rewards card, the standard annual fee is $49, and $29 per year, per additional cardholder.
As for points-earning potential, you likely won’t rack up points super fast, but you are still earning Qantas Points at a decent rate while paying a measly annual fee.
- Earn 1 Qantas Point per $1 on international purchases
- Earn 0.75 Qantas Points per $1 on domestic purchases (up to $3,000 per statement period)
- Earn 0.4 Qantas Points per $1 on domestic purchases (over $3,000 per statement period)
- Earn 1 Additional Qantas Point per $1 on eligible Qantas purchases
What’s not so great...
One of the things to watch out for on the Qantas Premier Everyday Credit Card is its interest rate. Like most rewards cards, the Qantas Premier Everyday Credit Card has a relatively high rate of interest on purchases and cash advances. However, you can dodge those higher rates by avoiding cash advances and clearing the balance each month by the due date.
Big spenders may not be too impressed with the card’s lower earn rate, or with its points shaping past the $3,000 mark each month. But, keeping in mind the card’s low annual fee, this could still be a great option for less frequent credit card users who want to earn points on their everyday spending and travel purchases.
Why should you choose this card?
If you want a rewards card that lets you earn points on the Qantas Frequent Flyer program – while helping you to save on annual fees – the Qantas Premier Everyday Credit Card could be the perfect option. In addition, the card also offers a host of features, which again, is lovely to see on a low cost card.
- You will get a $50 Qantas Wine voucher, providing you with a $50 discount when you spend at least $100 at Qantas Wine.
- You could take advantage of complimentary travel insurance, providing up to $1,000,000 medical emergency insurance cover, plus travel cancellation cover of up to $20,000 for travel booked using your card, interstate flight inconvenience cover, and global hire car excess waiver.
- You could save on interest with 0% p.a. on balance transfers for 12 months Offer ends 26 February 2020.
- You can enjoy the services of a ‘personal assistant’, with the Qantas Premier Concierge, available 24/7.
- You can enjoy six months interest free on your first Qantas Purchase, across Qantas flights, Qantas Club fees, Qantas Gift Vouchers, Qantas Store or Qantas Wine purchases.
Overall Rating
As a low cost card, the Qantas Premier Everyday Credit Card has plenty to offer, providing cardholders the opportunity to earn Qantas Points as they shop, while also enjoying a multitude of features, plus up to 25,000 bonus Qantas Points and introductory offer on balance transfers.

Hi Roland, In regards to the Qantas premier credit card, are BPay ant utilities bills considered cash advances, or purchases?
Hi Andrew, you earn no points on this kind of spend. Typically BPAY can be purchases. Though it will depend on the individual merchant on how they are setup. It would be worth speaking to each provider that you intend to use BPAY with you card on. To see if they charge it as purchase or cash advance.
How many points is a premier everyday card capped to?
Hi Matthew, Earn 0.75 Qantas Points per $1 on Domestic Spend (up to and including $3,000 per statement period). Earn 0.4 Qantas Points per $1 (over AU$3,000 per statement period). So its basically uncapped but the earn rate drops to 0.4 after you spend $3,000 in a month. I prefer the HSBC Platinum Qantas card for these spend levels as higher earn rate.
Is there any foreign transaction fees with this card?
Hi Megan, yes there is, its 3%. May I suggest the 28 Degrees as an extra card in your wallet with no foreign or annual fees.
If I had this card and I paid for accomadation in Bali do I receive any qantas points Thanks
Hi Teresa, yes you earn points on your travel spend overseas.
where to submit my application please?
Hi Sandra, you can complete your application on the Qantas money site - https://www.qantasmoney.com/application/qpcb/
Hi Roland, Is the required spend per calendar month or per billing period ?
Hi Bindi, there is a minimum spend requirement just for the bonus points. 20,000 bonus points per month when you spend $1,500 or more on eligible purchases per month, for a total of 120,000 points over the first 6 months. Outside of this there is no minimum spend required. If the bonus points were not of interest. You are not required to spend anything to keep the card active. Just to cover the annual fee.
Hi Bindi, sorry I re-read your question. Its per month. Usually you will receive a monthly statement also.
Hello, Concerning the Qantas premier everyday credit card, with multiple card holders, does the credit history also affect the multiple card holders. Also, what is the minimum repayment such that there is no bad credit history. Thank you, An
Hi An, the credit history of the primary applicant is what the bank will be concerned with. As the secondary card holders do not have any credit liability. Additionally your credit limit would be unchanged that they deliver. 2% of the closing balance or $30, whichever is greater is the minimum payment.
What are eligible purchases?
Hi Leigh, Eligible Transaction means any purchase excluding (but not limited to) Cash Advances, Balance Transfers, Special Promotions, BPAY payments, purchases of foreign currency and travellers cheques, transactions made in operating a business, payments to other Citi accounts, bank fees and charges such as interest and ATM charges, transactions made using Qantas Points and government related transactions. Government related transactions include transactions with government or semigovernment entities, or relating to services provided by or in connection with government (for example but not limited to transactions made at Australia Post, payments to the Australian Taxation Office, council rates, motor registries, tolls, parking stations and meters, fares on public transport, fines and court related costs). Please note that whether or not a transaction is an Eligible Transaction will be determined based on information provided either by the merchant or the relevant financial institution (including information about the type of business conducted by the merchant). This means that, for example, spend with certain merchants may be characterised as spend with a government related entity and therefore not an Eligible Transaction, even if that merchant is not in fact a government related entity.
I heard that the Qantas Premier Card cannot be used for instore purchase with Google Pay, is this correct? If so, will this be enabled soon as it seems like a very unfortunate shortcoming of this card. Thank you.
Hi Alan, yes the Qantas premier doesn't have google or apple pay enabled. The card issued through Citi. Though I do not have any information when these features will come online. That said, its not likely they will come anytime soon.
What is the minimum credit limit on this card?
Hi Chris, the minimum credit on the Premier Everyday is $4,000
what is the bank behind the Qantas premier everyday account?
Hi Mary, Qantas Money credit cards are issued through Citi.
