This card has been out for a while (it mirrors the QF Discovery card), though at least there's a sign-on bonus!

Yes, I applied in February (just before I cancelled my Jet* Platinum Mastercard as it was nearing the end of the first year with no annual fee) and at that time the bonus points offer was going to expire on 31 March. Later I noticed that it was extended to 30 June and now 31 December... Looks like they are desperate for new customers?
