This Card: The Lowdown

An extremely impressive addition to any wallet, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card is a high-end card that is packed with features. Well-suited to cardholders who frequently travel with Qantas - and who tend to funnel a fair bit of their spending through their credit card – this card certainly gives a lot, but there is a price to pay.

To be eligible, cardholders must earn at least $200,000 per year, plus there is a $1,200 annual fee to consider. So, it goes without saying that this card is not for everyone. But, for cardholders who want a high-earning non-Amex card that offers a wonderland of travel features and handy extras, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card could be well worth a closer look.

Is this card for you?

The Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card may suit the following types of cardholders:

  • Heavy spenders who want to earn big on their spending, while keeping it simple with only one card and one annual fee, rather than a number of cards and multiple annual fees to cover.
  • American Express or Diners Club cardholders who regularly spend large amounts with merchants who don’t accept those cards, or who charge a higher surcharge.
  • Frequent travellers who fly mostly Qantas, paying for their flights using their personal credit card, to enjoy bonus Status Credits and a higher Qantas Points earn.
  • Travellers who tend to travel Business Class on Qantas, as they can enjoy access to the lounge with their booked flight, but still enjoy an upgrade to the Qantas First Lounge with this card, as well as great savings on their twice-per-year flight discounts.

Digging Deeper

With the basics covered, it’s time to dig a little deeper into what’s on offer with the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card, so you can decide whether this card is right for you.

This Card: As a Rewards Card

Sweetening the deal on the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card, new cardholders can currently benefit from 150,000 bonus Qantas Points when they spend $5,000 on the card within 3 months from card approval. To be eligible, you must apply by 01 May 2024, and you must be a new Qantas Premier Titanium cardholder.

To give you an idea of the value of those bonus points, you could fly one-way Economy from Sydney to London on a Classic Flight Reward flight using 60,000 Qantas Points, plus $271 taxes, fees and carrier charges. Alternatively, you could fly one-way Economy on a Classic Flight Reward flight using 45,000 Qantas Points plus $252 taxes, fees and carrier charges.

Point calculations are accurate but may be subject to change without notice. All routes may have additional taxes and charges.

Everyday Earning

As a Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card holder, you could earn:

  • 1.25 Qantas Points per $1 (up to $12,500) on Domestic Spend
  • 0.5 Qantas Points per $1 (over $12,500) on Domestic Spend
  • 2 Qantas Points per $1 on International Spend
  • 2 additional Qantas Points per $1 on Qantas Spend

As the card provides the highest Qantas Points earn rate for Mastercard in Australia, this could be a popular choice for cardholders looking for an alternative to American Express, which is not as widely accepted as Mastercard, and can come with higher acceptance charges. As for that tiered earning, it does significantly cut the earn rate, but it may suit cardholders who tend to spend to that $12,500 each month.

In terms of earning points on international spending, cardholders should be aware of the card’s 3% foreign currency fee, which will reduce the points-earning potential on overseas purchases.

It’s also worth pointing out that to earn points on any purchase, it must be an ‘eligible’ transaction. Ineligible transactions include transactions from operating a business, and government transactions, such as ATO payments, council rates and payments made to Australia Post. For a full list of ineligible transactions, see the card’s terms.

Accelerated Status Credit Earning

The Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card is the only credit card to offer 20% bonus Status Credits on Qantas flights (available to both primary and additional cardholders).

How does it work? Simply book a Qantas operated or Qantas advertised flight via qantas.com or via Qantas Premier Titanium Concierge, and use your card to pay for your flights in full (no Points + Pay). The bonus Status Credits will then be awarded to you within 72 hours after the flight.

As you earn more Status Credits, you can climb Qantas Frequent Flyer membership tiers, from Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum to Platinum One. Each tier offers more perks, so the higher you climb, the more you benefit.

However, it’s worth noting that the offer cannot be used to move you from Platinum to Platinum One, nor can a Platinum One member use the status credits to retain the Platinum One membership status. Bonus Status Credits will also not contribute to Lifetime Status, Loyalty Bonuses, Platinum Bonus Reward, or Platinum One Member additional benefits.

This Card: As a Travel Rewards Card

As a Qantas card, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card most definitely fits the role of travel rewards card.

10% Off Qantas Flights

First up, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card provides cardholders with a 10% discount on Qantas operated flights for two bookings per year for two people on all fare classes (international and domestic). Obviously, to be eligible, you must use the card for the booking, and the booking must be made through the Qantas Premier Titanium Concierge.

Lounge Access

While it’s unfortunate the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card doesn’t offer some form of unlimited lounge access for its high annual fee, it does offer two complimentary Qantas First Lounge invitations each year, plus two additional complimentary Lounge invitations each year for use in Qantas Club Domestic and selected International Business Lounges.

The First Lounge invitations may be used on any QF, JQ, 3K, GK, BL numbered flight at Sydney, Melbourne or LAX international airports, and they can be extended to a guest who is flying with you. As for the Business Lounge invitations, they can be used at any Qantas Operated International Business Lounge (except LAX) and domestic Qantas Club. You may invite a guest, provided you are travelling on the same booking.

Complimentary Travel Insurance

Providing some peace of mind when you travel, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card offers complimentary travel insurance when you fly overseas. Additional cardholders are also covered – even when not travelling with the primary cardholder. With 180 days of coverage each year, cover includes medical emergencies, travel cancellation and purchase protection.

To be eligible, the airfares of all travellers who are to be covered must be paid for with the primary or additional Qantas Premier Titanium credit card, travel must start and end in Australia, and the level of cover is dependant on the type of travel, for example, if it is international or domestic.

6 Months Interest Free on First Qantas Purchase

Allowing cardholders the opportunity to save on interest when using their card to cover Qantas spending, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card provides six months interest free on the first purchase of selected Qantas products and services, including Qantas flights, Qantas Club fees, Qantas Gift Vouchers, Qantas Store and Qantas Wine purchases, plus more.

This six month interest free offer will automatically be applied to the first eligible Qantas purchase made on the card, so if you plan to take advantage of it, make sure you avoid any other Qantas spending before making your desired interest-free Qantas purchase. After the six month promotional period, any balance left unpaid will revert to the card’s purchase rate.

This Card: Extras on Offer

As a feature-packed card, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card has its fair share of extras.

Qantas Wine Premium Membership

Usually $99 per year, Qantas Wine Premium Membership is provided as a complimentary extra for Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card holders. This membership offers a selection of specially curated wine and gourmet food, with access to exclusive wine products, member-only offers and wine tastings events. Members also earn an additional 3 points on top of any other Qantas Points earned, along with free delivery within Australia.

Card Offers

Cardholders can also enjoy access to even more rewards with the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card, simply by using the Qantas Money app to activate any Card Offers they are interested in when shopping at their favourite stores.

Qantas Wellbeing

The Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card allows cardholders to earn more on their card as they get active, with the Qantas Wellbeing app. You can earn up to an additional 20,000 Qantas Points per year by participating in the daily and weekly challenges, to start earning points by completing everyday activities.

Dedicated Concierge

As you would expect from a high-end card such this, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card offers a dedicated concierge service. The Qantas Premier Titanium Concierge is on hand seven days a week from 8am to 8pm, allowing you to book Qantas flights with your 10% discount, to book concert tickets or to make restaurant reservations.

This Card: The Essentials

As we mentioned previously, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card has a rather eye-watering annual fee of $1,200. If you choose to add any additional cardholders to the account, this will come at a cost of $100 per cardholder. Is it worth it? It certainly could be, but you need to figure out whether you get more back in features and rewards than you pay out in annual fees.

While the card may not have quite as many features as some of the other top tier credit cards on the market, it does offer some enticing extras. If you happen to travel extensively – mostly on Qantas – for leisure rather than business, and if you will get a lot out of the features offered while getting plenty back in rewards, this card could be a great option.

In terms of interest though, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card has a relatively high purchase rate and cash advance rate, so if you want to make the most of what it’s got to offer, it’s best to clear the balance before it starts accruing interest. As for eligibility, this card is not open to everyone. To be eligible, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Earn at least $200,000 per year
  • Be a permanent Australian resident
  • Have an Australian mobile and residential address
  • Be a Qantas Frequent Flyer member
  • Be a new Qantas Premier primary cardholder

 

Decision Time

The Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card is a high-end card with high-end features - and a high-end price tag. If you meet the eligibility requirements and think you will get more back in features and rewards than the $1,200 annual fee, this card could well be worth investigating, especially given its current offer of 150,000 bonus Qantas Points.

The Titanium offers (not) a lot but delivers even less. The 10% savings on travel can be better achieved by simply looking for sales. You also get hit with a booking fee which takes back some of the savings. $12,500 maximum monthly spend for extra FF points....so why target people who earn over $200k - there should be no maximum. The extra status credits - they frequently get them wrong or don't award them without being chased up. Concierge - based in the Philippines, frequently poor line quality, some staff very good but also often get staff who do not completely comprehend the issue and cannot fix the problem without referral elsewhere, and promised return-calls may or may-not be returned. It's metal, but not like Centurian - this is a cheap sandwich of metal and plastic and nowadays you rarely use the card beyond a tap so if you were hoping to impress (it doesn't) you will be mostly out of luck. Access to lounges - most who get this card are already high FF status and therefore don't require the passes - and unlike other cards (eg Qantas Ultimate Amex) - you cannot transfer them to anyone else so they go unused. Insurance - Titanium is $5k max on car excess. Some hire cars have a higher excess than this so you aren't actually fully covered. Q Ultimate Amex is 20k for hire car which means you never have to take out additional insurance. $1,200/year plus $100 for additional card-holder - zero back in travel (beyond the discount). Q Ultimate Amex is $450/year and you get $450 travel credit. All in all, it looked like it offered something a bit different - perhaps a card with exceptional service that was widely accepted. In the end it is simply an overpriced way to get an additional 150k points. Suggestions for improvement: Move Concierge back to Australia, Remove booking fees on flights using concierge, make points accumulation unlimited per month, give some kind of credit for travel, raise the insurance coverage for Car Rental, make the Lounge Access transferable....that would be a start

Hi Roland, I have already sent you a question however I have more. I have just seen the Qantas Titanium Credit Card. Basically, I am wanting to transfer the balances of my credit card to a card that is going to give me high Qantas Points, I do like my AmEx however so many places do not accept it. I have a BOQ Specialist card however I am disappointed with the points I get in return, We are a high spender on our card. I am looking for a card to use for Personal Purchases, a card for Business Purposes and we have multiple companies. I do not want or need 3 of these cards as that is a lot of money in fees unless they would look at the fees for multiples. BOQ Fee is currently $450 however as stated the points are not great. It takes days to transfer money onto it however with Macquarie it is immediate. Not sure about Qantas. We are looking at travelling more with our family of 7. We are looking at a minimum of 2 overseas trips with the family and 1 or 2 without the kids. Our income is over $200k. I would love to know your thoughts on this.

    Hi Naomi, there are no points earning on balance transfer with any credit cards. The earn rate on this card is great. The Titanium though has capped points earning of $12,500 per statement period (domestic). Therefore if you spend over this you will not get any points. If you use Qantas regularly then this card is great. As long as you don't go over the spend cap. That really limits the card for bigger spenders. The $1200 annual fee is very high. Though if you use the card features such as flight discounts, then it can pay for itself.

My husband travels quite a bit domestically as a QF FF for business domestically and we also travel up to 3 times a year internationally and the odd domestic leisure trip. Is this new Qantas Titanium card more for leisure travel as was indicated in some of the review or could it work well for a mixture of business and leisure.

    Hi Kerry, this card should only earn points on personal spend. Though many cards still payout on business activity. The cap on spend to earn points hurts the card. With such a high annual fee you had hoped you would get more. Overall the earn rate is the highest and if you use the features/Qantas then this card delivers.
