First reward card

[Alexh92]

I've been browsing through this forum soaking up info and have gotten myself more confused

I currently have a gold st George card earning no rewards and realised this is silly when I could be earning points

The goal I have for future points is flight rewards particularly international as I am planning future trips (not interested in upgrades a seat is a seat to me) I am a bit confused as to which FF program would suit me best but both virgin/qantas look to be similar, was going to go with either the virgin flyer card or WW EDR card however have read of bad customer service/not getting points issues on both which has seen me looking at the platinum edge Amex card which has the bonus of not being locked into a FF program but then worried about acceptability so would need to back it up with a suitable reward visa or MasterCard.

What would be a good card to compliment the edge with? I don't really want to spend heaps in card fees so would there be a better single card to use over an edge/visa combo? I'll probably put about 25-30k per year on it

Bankwest Qantas Platinum Mastercard . Has the added advantage of no forex fees, particularly useful for the frequent flyer/world traveler.

That card looks great but unfortunately I think I would just miss out on the minimum income for it (65k) I'm on about 60k

One that may suit you and for which you would qualify, is the Woolworths Qantas Everyday Rewards Platinum card might suit you and I think 16K QF points bonus sign up. There's an AFF thread here somewhere on it I think.
