1 QANTAS FF per $1 spent on VISA or MCard

[ajmiles.au]

Hi All, CBA is post 1FEB10 reducing QF FF points from MCard and Visa to 0.5points per $1 spent. I am looking for a VISA or MCard where I can earn a minimum of 1 QF Frequent Flyer point per $1 spent on the card with a low annual fee (under $125).
Does anyone know of a card?

I currently use the AMEX ULT QANTAS to earn 1.5 points per $1 + a bonus point per $1 is booked threw QANTAS website service.

But that's not a Visa/MC is it?

Maybe get the Citibank Plat, pays 1:1.
I'm not sure what the annual charge is as I have a "free for life" one!

"fee free for life" is no longer avaiable anymore and will never ever come back. The annual fee currently is $250+$19. There is no visa/mc gives you 1:1 plus the fee is also under $125.

you have a couple of options.

you can go with the Card Service Gold card - mainly provided by 2nd tier banks and credit unions. Is basically a repackaged Citibank Gold card

check out Suncorp

another option for $130 a year is the Citibusiness Gold card that gives 1.25 points / $. I moved to this card when the whole direct earn cough started.

You need to call to transfer your points to QFF - last time i did this the points were in my QFF account the next day. The good thing is you can also use the points with SQ and DJ

Apart from those 2 cards I don't really know any that give 1:1 for non Amex cards.

This could be a good option although it is capped at 60k.

I'm still trying to decide on my own future useage. I've been busy with the Westpac QFF & Krisflyer 3:1 and the current CBA one over the past14 months.

The Krisflyer at 1:1 is un-capped but the points must be used within 3 years and with the Citibank Plat (120k cap) i'm reluctant to transfer to Krisflyer or Velocity at 0.66:1.

Just learned today that Qantas Frequent Flyer Visa is now only offering 1 point for every $2 spent. This was effective 13JAN10 WITHOUT NOTICE.

ok, ill bite and ask another question

does anybody know of a credit card with 1:1, visa or master card with no fees, with 55days interest free,

can be any bank , low limits etc.

i currently have the AMEX+MC from CBA and they have reduced their ratio to 0.5 points per $ for the plat card which is unacceptable,

I have a family members sub card for a plat visa Citibank 1:1, fee free for life,

obviously the offer is not avaialble but ideally I would like my own one...

or am I dreamin'

I have to say you are dreamin in the current credit card market, but if you are a huge spender on the credit card, you can always negotiate the fee with your bank but I can not see any cards offering 1:1 ratio so far except citi business card but it comes with annual fee.

Some credit unions now offer 1:1 point/dollar with MC/Visa.

Australian Central Credit Union - Personal Lending - MasterCard

Citibank Emirates Platinum mastercard gives you 1.5 reward points per dollar spent. Must be the best earning card for FF points
