New as of August 5 2017: The Qantas Ultimate Amex is once again up to 100k points for referrals (I've only seen it higher than this once, at 110k last year!). If you're going to apply for this card, please consider using a referral link from this thread to grant a bonus to a fellow AFF'er as well.
One-off bonuses:
And then, in your first year, and every year, you get
This product has an annual fee of $450, which can be easily justified by the value of the included flight (which in my experience does earn Qantas points and status credits). There is talk of this credit being swapped to a $450 travel voucher - now confirmed, check point 2 on the T&Cs page of the referral - but either way, it offsets the annual fee. Being a PER resident, a $450 credit would work out better for me as PER<>SYD/MEL is often under $400. Similarly a return dom flight between east coast cities may cost less than $400!
The minimum credit limit for this product is $3,000 and it has a $65,000 minimum household income requirement. Card Members who currently hold or who have previously held any Card product issued by American Express Australia Limited in the preceding 18 month period are ineligible for this offer. Bank-issued (Australia New Zealand Banking Group Limited, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, National Australia Bank, Westpac Banking Corporation) cardholders are eligible for this offer.
If you're keen to jump on board, by clicking this referral link you'll receive all of the above and as a cardholder myself I'd gain 30k points towards the next holiday for Mrs Excel & I. Thank you for your consideration!
NB: As always these offers are subject to change and this advice is general in nature, you should consider if the product is right for you and/or seek independent financial advice as appropriate
One-off bonuses:
- 100,000 bonus points if you spend $1,500 in the first 3 months
- 0% on balance transfers for the first 12 months - with a 1% establishment fee
And then, in your first year, and every year, you get
- A complimentary return flight on Qantas (becoming a $450 travel credit from October 31st). Until Oct 31st the return flight is available after your first QF Air Australia spend (PM me for an easy & cheap way to do this). Once it's become a credit, the Amex T&Cs suggest "The Travel Credit will be available each year of Card Membership, as long as you have paid the annual fee and your account is current and in good standing" - i.e. no pre-spending required.
- Two Entries to the Amex Lounge at SYD Intl Airport
- 1.5 Points per $1 on most spend, plus a bonus point on QF spend (plus, the points earn is uncapped)
- Decent travel and purchase insurance.
- To use Apple pay, Samsung Pay and Android Pay
- Up to 44 interest free days on purchases
