Qantas Premier Everyday Credit Card

Pauline is a personal finance expert at CreditCard.com.au, with 8 years in money, budgeting and property reporting under her belt. about this card.

⚠ Upcoming annual fee change: From 11 April 2024, Qantas Premier Everyday card annual fee will increase from $49 to $99. The standard annual fee, currently $49, will be billed to your account on card activation if you apply by 10 April 2024. Thereafter, the standard annual fee will be $99, which will be billed each anniversary from card approval.

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 annual fee.

But that’s not all, if you apply by 10 April 2024, you could take home 2 bonus Qantas Points per $1 spent on eligible purchases within 4 months of card approval, up to a total of 8,000 bonus Qantas Points. Plus, enjoy 0% p.a. on balance transfers for 12 months, no BT fee. Reverts to cash advance rate.

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 2 bonus Qantas Points per $1 spent on eligible purchases within 4 months of card approval, up to a total of 8,000 bonus points to spend as you like.

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 equivalent on eligible International Spend
  • Earn 0.75 Qantas Points per $1 on eligible Domestic Spend (up to and including $3,000 per statement period).
  • Earn 0.4 Qantas Points per $1 on eligible Domestic Spend (over $3,000 per statement period).
  • Earn 1 additional Qantas Point per $1 spend on Qantas products and services

In addition to the features and benefits of this everyday card is its offer of 0% p.a. on balance transfers for 12 months. No balance transfer fee. Reverts to cash advance rate. Please note, there are no interest free days on purchases while you have a balance transfer.

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 annual fee is $49, and $25 per year, per additional cardholder.

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.

  • Enjoy peace of mind with these complimentary insurances: Transport Accident Insurance; Interstate Flight Inconvenience Insurance (no excess fee); Global Hire Car Excess Waiver. Conditions and exclusions apply, see qantasmoney.com for details.
  • You could save on interest with 0% p.a. on balance transfers for 12 months. No balance transfer fee. Reverts to cash advance rate. Please note, there are no interest free days on purchases while you have a balance transfer.
  • 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 2 bonus Qantas Points per $1 spent on eligible purchases within 4 months of card approval, up to a total of 8,000 bonus Qantas Points and introductory offer on balance transfers.

I have recently retired. The only 'income' source I receive is a pension through my superannuation (I receive about $3200 per month = $38,000 per year. I also receive about $7000 per year in share dividends and $5000 year interest on savings. Will this allow me to qualify for the Qantas Premier Everyday card? Thank you

    Hi Leigh, technically you meet the minimum income requirement, but these days it seems harder for retirees to be approved for a credit card (I wrote this blog to explain why that might be). Qantas doesn't have any specific info about the eligibility of retirement income, so it's a case of checking you meet all the other eligibility requirements as well and deciding if you want to take a chance at applying. Good luck, Leigh!

Hi , I am interested in applying for this card, however there are some questions I would like to ask If i apply for this card, will the card fee increase from 49$ to 99$ on 11 of april or it will stay 49$ forever? Am i allow to use this card to purchase right away like Qantas plane tickets or items on Qantas store ? Will there be any negative consequences? How the calculation repayments will be ? Thank you for your help Regards Steven
    Pauline - CreditCard.com.au

    28 March 2024
    Hi Steve, if you apply and are approved before 11 April, you'll pay $49 for your first year and then the new fee of $99 from then on. Once you've activated your card you're free to use it right away. This card has up to 55 days interest free (as long as you don't have a balance transfer) so you'll have 55 days from the start of your statement date to pay everything off before it accrues interest. The best thing to do is pay off your card each month. Thanks Steve!

what is defined as eligible spends?
    Pauline - CreditCard.com.au

    Pauline

    12 March 2024
    Hi Michael, these are usually your everyday retail transactions. This can include payments for your pet’s vet visit, meals at your favourite restaurant, and other retail based transactions. You won’t find anything classified as a “cash advance” in your eligible spend count. Hope that clears it up.

My wife and I are both over 80 years of age and both retired. We have in joint names XXXX in different bank accounts . For tax purposes we divide the interest so that way we remain below the taxable income barrier. Between us we earn over A$xxxx in interest each year.. Would either one of us be eligible for a Qanras Premier Credit Card at $49 if we joined prior to 10 April 2024. If not is it possible to to have a card in jopint names as jointly we earn over $40000 in interest each year. Regards John

    13 March 2024
    Hi John, thanks for the information. It sounds like you're doing a great job with your finances! Only a very small handful of cards allow joint accounts, so you would need to apply under one name and add the other as a cardholder or give third-party authorisation (see more about that in Qantas Money’s FAQs). That means only the applicant's income would apply, and Qantas says the minimum income requirement for the Premier Everyday is $35,000. So, you may not meet the eligibility criteria, even with all your other assets. We have a comparison guide for seniors that might help you find a card with lower eligibility criteria, and a blog that explains why it can be harder for seniors to get credit cards. I hope that's helped John, and thanks so much for reaching out and asking. All the best to you both!

Not a question, but note that Qantas are about to double the annual fee for this card, for no additional value.

    Thanks for this Ana. We've got some rigorous processes that go on in the back and we'll update our review to reflect the new annual fee when it comes into play. Thanks!

Hi, i am looking to do a 0% balance transfer for $6700, I will then be looking to pay the balance off entirely, not using additional credit. will I be eligible for qantas points on the $6700 balance transfer
    Pauline - CreditCard.com.au

    Pauline

    14 February 2024
    Hi Sam, good question! Unfortunately, when it comes to balance transfers, they're not counted as eligible purchases or transactions. So, you won't earn any points on them.

Good afternoon Does the travel insurance cover my partner and my two children? Or just the card holder? Thanks

Hi, If I get a Qantas Premium Everyday Card and use it to pay for Qantas (or an airline associated with Qantas), will the amount I pay eg. $3400 for flights, be transfered to Frequent Flyer points at the rate indicated eg. 1 Point for every dollar spent? Thanks
    Pauline - CreditCard.com.au

    Pauline

    31 January 2024
    Hi Tracy, the value of the points when they're redeemed is not the same as the rate you earn them at. If you want to figure out the value of your points for flights you can use the Qantas points calculator tool and pop in your departure and destination cities. I hope that helps!

I have an ANZ CC that I collect qantas points on - will these be transferred across? How does that work? I don't want to lose them but I do want to be able to carry on collecting them
    Pauline - CreditCard.com.au

    Pauline

    19 December 2023
    Hi Gillian, good question! When approved for the Qantas Premier Everyday card, you just need to provide Qantas Money with your QFF membership number. Qantas actually hold your points balance, so letting Qantas Money know your membership number ensures continuity with your existing QFF membership account. You’ll be able to retain your current points balance.
