Qantas American Express Premium Card: 40,000 bonus Qantas Points (new as of 2/5/17)

[ChrisFlyer]

If you've been jarred by the credit card changes announced by the Big Four banks this week, take a look at the Qantas American Express Premium Card!

With no limit to the number of points you can earn, you'll pick up 2.25 Qantas Points per dollar spent direct with Qantas, such as when booking your flights in Australian dollars or paying for Qantas Club lounge membership, and 1.25 Qantas Points per dollar spent on almost all of your other purchases (including with insurers, utilities and telcos which previously awarded fewer points). Government spend awards 1 Qantas Point per $2 spent - and again, there's no points capping to get in your way.

That's not even the best part: apply via this link and you'll also earn a bonus 40,000 Qantas Points after spending at least $1,500 on the card within the first 3 months - that's 10,000 more Qantas Points than you'd earn by applying via the usual page!

(By applying via my link I'll receive 10,000 Qantas Points if you're successful, while you also receive 10,000 more points than you'd earn by applying via the public deal (40,000 vs 30,000) - so much like an Uber referral, it's a win-win!)

Also thrown in with the Premium Card are two Qantas Club airport lounge passes each year (valid in domestic Qantas Club lounges and Qantas international business class lounges), plus domestic and international travel insurance.

Let's say you normally spend around $4,000 per month on your current credit card. Move that spend to this card and you'd be earning 5,000 Qantas Points per month or 60,000 Qantas Points per year - plus the further 40,000 bonus Qantas Points when signing up. That's an impressive 100,000 Qantas Points earned in the first 12 months: enough for a return upgrade from economy to business class on flights to Singapore or Hong Kong.

The card costs just $249 per year - and when you consider the perks you receive in return like lounge access, points for upgrades or free flights, travel insurance and more, you should have no trouble getting more than $249 back in value from the card!

So what are you waiting for?

You can apply here today!

(When clicking the link, you'll first see the blue Qantas Discovery card, but you can access this great offer simply by clicking on the gold-coloured Qantas Premium card either at the top right or the bottom left of the screen.)

I hope you've found my summary helpful! I recently applied for an AMEX card via an AFF referral link, so am hoping a fellow member can 'pay it forward' by applying through mine to keep the points flowing all around!

Thanks Chrisflyer for starting the new thread. The current offer does not have an expiry date at time of writing, but be sure to check the amex page to confirm before you apply.

One-off bonuses:

• 40,000 bonus points if you spend $1,500 in the first 3 months
• 0% on balance transfers for the first 12 months - with a 1% establishment fee

And then, in your first year, and every year, you get

• Two QF Lounge Passes, after your first QF Air Australia spend (PM me for an easy & cheap way to do this),
• 1.25 Points per $1 on most spend, plus a bonus point on QF spend, with no capped earn rate
• Decent travel and purchase insurance.
• To use Apple pay, Samsung Pay and Android Pay
• Up to 44 interest free days on purchases

This product has an affordable annual fee of $250, making the purchase of 40k points cost $0.00625 each, well below regular burn thresholds of 2-8 cents per point!

The minimum credit limit for this product is $2,000 and it has a $40,000 minimum household income requirement. Card Members who currently hold or who have previously held any Card product issued by American Express Australia Limited in the preceding 18 month period are ineligible for this offer. Bank-issued: (Australia New Zealand Banking Group Limited, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, National Australia Bank, Westpac Banking Corporation) previous and existing American Express Cardholders are eligible for this offer.

If you're keen to jump on board, by clicking this referral link you'll receive all of the above and as a qf ultimate amex cardholder myself I'd gain 30k points towards the next holiday for Mrs Excel & I. Thank you for your consideration!

NB: As always these offers are subject to change and this advice is general in nature, you should consider if the product is right for you and/or seek independent financial advice as appropriate

I'm new to posting referrals and even being able to click on them and earn the referees a bonus, but last weekend I used your link ChrisFlyer and was finally approved for my first AMEX. So I wanted to say thank you, and point out you should be getting some points in the future. I read it can take up to 10 weeks.

Next, as I now have a card I finally have my own referral link to add to the mix. As noted by others in this thread, this will allow you to apply for 3 different cards:

• The Qantas American Express Discovery Card, offering:
  • No annual Card fee
  • Earn 1 Qantas Point per $1 spent on eligible purchases

  • Earn 1.25 Qantas Points per $1 spent on eligible purchases
  • Enjoy two complimentary Qantas Club lounge invitations each year after your first Card spend on selected Qantas products and services
• The Qantas American Express Ultimate Card, offering:

  • Earn 65,000 Qantas Points when you apply, are approved and spend $1,500 in the first 3 months
  • Earn 1.5 Qantas Points per $1 spent on eligible purchases
  • Complimentary Qantas domestic return Economy flight each year after your first Card spend on selected Qantas products and services

In addition, all cards come with:

Cheers samh004, appreciate it! You're the first person to apply using my Qantas link, so nice to have some extra Kangaroo points (and enjoy yours also!). Looks like the bonus appeared in the AMEX points history on Monday - imagine they'll go across to QFF within the next month when the next statement comes.

I've had the Qantas Amex Premium for 10 years but this is my first referral link for it. The insurance both domestic and international is great as have had several claims. Using referral link gives you 40k Qantas points - applying without the link is 30k. I get 20k. Annual fee $249. Income required $40k. In summary:

• Earn 1.25 Qantas Points6 for every $1 spent on Card purchases, except spend at government bodies in Australia where you will earn 0.5 Qantas Points per $1 spent
• Enjoy two complimentary Qantas Club lounge invitations each year after your first Card spend on selected Qantas products and services
• $0 annual Card fee for up to 4 Supplementary Cards so you can earn more Qantas Points
