Credit Card Offers NAB Qantas Business Signature: 200,000 bonus Qantas Points (expires 28/2/25) - works with ATO

OMG a letter from the NAB, they are changing this card from Qantas Frequent Flyer to Qantas business rewards so effective start Dec 2023 pts from this card can only acrue in a Qantas business rewards account. Which means opening another QFF using in our case our company ABN.

Why does the NAB have to fiddle around like this. Or not give its customers the option to choose.
I had to jump through hurdles to get this card, it's worked quite well for business expenses. I don't want extra QF accounts with piddling FF pts in them. My main personal account has about 750,000 which is useful.
Wait... ahh cough... So one can't simply just gently wave around an ABN, and hope to open a new NAB account to discover 200K Qantas points sitting in it? Or can one? am I missing something. I thought it might be too good to be true.

Not only this is true, but because this uses your ABN rather than your name, you can do this even if you already have or had a Qantas NAB card in the past 12 months. And it seems like this does not appear on your credit rating as your ABN is a separate entity... kind of a no-brainer
 
Does spending at AusPost count towards earning points? Got approved for this card but not sure if AusPost is considered government payment
 
anyone have issues applying for this card?

their accounting integration seems perpetually down
I don't use their preferred accounting software. Absolute nightmare getting approved. Multiple emails. Bank statements. BAS. Notice of assessment etc.
Fortunately, the delay in approval meant I got the 200,000 rather than the 150 which I signed up for.
 
Couple of questions:

1. If I'm a sole trader operating off an ABN can I apply for this card using my ITR as proof of income?

This is also something I would like to know - I've tried applying but yes the site is always down.

But I'm guessing from the comment of Duffa (about requiring multiple BAS and other bits of paperwork) the answer is probably no.

I wonder if it's worth my time going physically to a branch (gasp!) and pleading my case - my most recent tax return shows my ABN income, but then I took a year off sole trading to get further education, now going back ....
 
What am I missing here?

Earn 200,000 bonus Qantas Points when you spend $4,000 on everyday business purchases within 60 days of opening your new account.

Annual fee: $249
Min. business turnover $75k


I'm usually of the view "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is". This offer seems be to 70k better than any similar card. I'm excluding QF Titanium ($1200pa) and Citi Prestige ($749pa).

Plus the offer's been live since 1 July and doesn't appear to have been posted here.

Am I missing something obvious?

Any views on the ease or difficulty of applying and being approved or NAB business cards?

My journey to get approved for this card took from first contact 12/09/24 and was approved 21/11/24, so 2.5 months.

Been a long time NAB business customer, already have the NAB Business Signature Rewards card. Probably close the Qantas card nearing the AF renewal date, $50k per month spent earning limit for points the main reason.

Online application initally stalled after 3 weeks because I did not submit recent BAS statements, they need within 4 months, I had only Q2 BAS completed at the time, so over 9 months old. Case was closed 03/11/24

I called up the next day to see if anything could be done to resume that application, coincidently my BAS was just submitted that week, provided Q3/Q4, even though it was technically 4 days over their requirements, but the case was then manually considered, 3 weeks later approved. no other interventions.

Card arrived 02/12/24 pre activated

But you have to call to link the card to your online banking, and the billing account is a little annoying, but I can see the benefit in it only showing cleared transactions, makes accounting software syncs abit cleaner
