Everyday Rewards Qantas Credit Card

[DeKa]

I applied on November 1 and received my card today.

I wonder if they are generous with the credit limit?

Look like some customers got their card in reasonably quick time, while some are neglected.

Tell me what figures you put for your income and all that

Perhaps you just have to hit their sweet spot

What sort of limit did they give you...? 10%...? 20%...? of your income...? :?::?::?:

Maybe this has been answered elsewhere but why would I keep my current AMEX Qantas Premium Card ($195pa) when this one has a lower annual fee and will be accepted everywhere?

Amex generally has $1 = 1.5 FF , most visa/ MC 0.5 this card $1 = 1 FF . I think it fits pretty well as an alternative when Amex not accepted

Even though mine is in the post and I'll know soon enough, I'm interested to know this as well. Hopefully they aren't too stingy ...

A bit less than 10% of my income, more than I need for this handy addition to my Earth Amex. I see it as a woolworths, petrol (especially with e pump) and non amex accepted alternative. Activation required a quick call to everyday money and the rest is done online. Looking forward to trying it out!

When I asked the person at the call centre if I could put a personal tax bill on the card I heard a gasp.She suggested that this card is for store purchases.As a result of that answer I thought I wouldnt ask any more questions.

She suggested that this card is for store purchases.

So its only a suggestion then he he

Great idea actually, I also have to throw quite a few buttons that way too, not sure it counts as a purchase though...!

 

[crowman28]

Look like this card is just used for everyday purchases, and not for any high rollers, given the credit limit might not be that high (if someone suggested it is roughly 10% of income).

The most I'll use is probably to purchase a LED TV from David Jones or Myer. Nothing more from it.

I'll let my Westpac Kris Flyer card to do the bulk of earning points then.

Shame that it probably wouldn’t handle many airfares then…

I reckon it is enough for a typical cardholder assuming $5k minimum credit limit (based on 10% of $50k annual income requirement). Average cardholder will probably get $8k credit limit. Also, it would be reasonable to assume that AFF members who responded to this thread here always pay off their accounts in full each month which means that we are more flexible with cash flow than those who remain in rolling debt. This advantage will allow us to make repayments earlier to bring down the used limit so as to enable more purchases through the card (if required) to earn QFF points. A small price to pay for the benefit of 1QFF:$1.

I just got an email telling me all about it.

As a valued Everyday Rewards member, we wanted to let you know about the new Woolworths Everyday Rewards Qantas credit card.

This new card combines the earning power of your Everyday Rewards card with a credit card that also earns you points! That means, over the last 12 months by shopping at participating Woolworths Group stores, your current points balance of xx_xx could have been turbo charged to 2xx_xxpoints, just by presenting and paying with the Woolworths Everyday Rewards Qantas credit card.

Plus for a limited time, get 16,000 bonus points^ when you apply by 31 January 2011 and make an eligible purchase on your card by 31 March 2011. Conditions apply.

That's enough points for a return Economy Classic Award flight from Sydney to Melbourne, plus $21.65 in surcharges, fees and taxes* or a $100 WISH gift card~ from the Qantas Frequent Flyer online store.

Apply today to earn more points!

Bye for now,
Deb

I don't intend to cancel, I am going to use it in combination with my Earth Platinum Amex. I think the 1:1 redemption is also very attractive.

My application has been approved

Shhhhh

I plan on doing exactly this, just hope the card turns up before the payment deadline ...

 

[Philosiphier]

I just check my EDR online account and I've been approved! YAY! 16000 points closer to our business return flight from Hawaii to Sydney! WOOHOO! :mrgreen:

 

[crowman28]

My application has been approved

Ok so I would assume a normal application would take about 1 week for the card to arrive in the mail. So if it takes much longer than that, probably the application has been rejected.

Got the email, although mine didn't mention anything about how many poiints I had, or how many I could have had.
