Qantas Travel Money changing to Qantas Pay - May 2024

[jrfsp]

The only fee is if you're transferring from a debit card (0.5%). I don't think there's any other fees with Qantas Pay.

Most of the other providers sting you just for having a card active.

The debit card fee must be new, im sure it was free until recently

Hasn't been free for a while although occasionally they do promos plus I think the first load on the account is free.

Edit - It was in February 2024 when they moved to EML that the fee was introduced.

Few things to keep in mind: new changes,
1.now there is a 0.005% fee for taking from a debit card, used to be instant and free (in the past), ie if you move from a debit card for $50, you will be charged an extra $0.25.
2.there is also a chance the transaction will be declined, even though your debit card account has funds in it!

Real downside of the card, these 2, but only reason to keep the QP is to keep the QFF points alive, for those who do not have a "real true credit card/amex" card.

The fee is new.
Had been free up to a few weeks ago, end of last month I think it was free.

The fee certainly isn’t new but they go through promotional periods where the fee is waived

When I last used the card this time last year, the fee was certainly there. They do, however, have numerous promo periods where the fee is waived (I wouldn't be surprised if the fee is currently being waived during the current offer, but don't quote me on that). I often waited for these times to transfer money over.

Curious why you'd wait rather than do a bank transfer, which is always free?

Interesting that others have said that immediate transfer fee was aways there.
I have done the $50 transfer from my debit card, and the funds has always been in my QP account there and then, and never involved that fee.
