Qantas Premier Credit Card

Hmm very interesting. If you use the card for accommodation will it trigger the insurance?

Not from what I know. It seems to me that the only way to qualify for the travel insurance is to pay for your flights in entirety with the card. You can mix points and card payment, but the full value of any cash component must be payed on the card, and the full value of any points component must be using points that were earned using the card. I don't know how they work the points bit out, but I just made a booking using several hundred thousand point which is much more than I have earned using the card, so it would be easy to prove I do not meet the criteria, so I opted to use my Amex which I can meet the criteria even though the insurance does not seem as good.

MattVonOz: can you let us know when you get the 75K bonus pls. it would be good to get 75K for 150$. that would be 300$ + tax for a return J flight to Asia.

I got my bonus points :-)

Remember, this was my second card. I had this card, got my 60,000 bonus points, then closed it down. Then a few weeks later when they started offering 75,000 bonus points! So I got a new card and those are the points I just received!
 
I applied for this card and was impressed with the speed it was approved and sent to me. Equally impressed with the app which is very very good.

And I have been approved for less than a month and I have been credited the 75,000 points. Happy days!

Sounds good for some of us! I'm into my third month and oddly after the statement received the other day I seemed to have received 15,000 points into my Qantas account (after spending about $10!). No other sight of the bonus points (first month spend was $4,000 to get them!!)
 
Anyone else having issues reapplying for this card after having it previously?

The website won't let me apply because it still thinks I have a card (it was cancelled 7 months ago). I rang Citibank back in Jan and was told IT were aware of this common issue and were working on a resolution. It's now March and it's still unresolved. Wow.

If it were my business and customers couldn't buy products, IT would be working round the clock until it was fixed. Classic Sh***ybank.

Yeah, I was initially rejected based on having the virgin card at the same time (they didn't hit me with a credit check). So I thought I'd try again after I'd got rid of the virgin card, but the site wouldn't allow me to apply again. Eventually I went back to apply about another month later and I could apply, so it appeared to right itself, only I was rejected again because it was inside 3 months of the last application I put in! Gave up eventually and got a card elsewhere.

On the verge of another churn, but debating whether to bother again.

Hmm I've just cancelled the virgin card and am deciding on whether or not to move onto this one.. looks like I might not have a choice?

Someone said they do an internal review being all citi cards. They may regard you as better business/less risk than me though. Clearly it was an internal thing though because there was no credit inquiry.
 
I did end up getting approved for this card while my Virgin money card was still active. Sad to report that Qantas Premier card does not support GOOGLE PAY, SAMSUNG PAY or APPLE PAY. Now deciding whether or not to fork out the extra $50 to get a supplementary card or wait and hope.
 
I didn't receive any points for my most recent water bill payment (Icon Water), even though I did for the previous quarter. I still received points for the electricity bill payment (ActewAGL), but I don't know that I'm game to trust them not to change it for the next quarter. :(
 
Just got the card and am making transactions. However both the App and online portal don't give much information on the transactions themselves ie. if I make an international purchase it just shows the AUD amount and not the foreign amount or the foreign currency. Also is there a way to see points earned for each transaction? And are points swept once a month in my QF account?
 
has anyone paid school fees (public school) with this card before and have it earn points? my kids school have complained to me 4 times already in not splitting payments at $100 each (visa1 gift cards) and I think it might be time to just give in and pay with this card.. but not if it earns 0 points
