I currently have a Woolworths credit card linked to my Qantas Frequent Flyer account, which earns me Qantas points. Am I still eligible for the additional 15,000 points offered by Finder if I sign up to a new Qantas credit card?
Hi Amanda,
Unfortunately, if you currently earn Qantas Points through a credit card (or have in the past 12 months), you wouldn’t be eligible for the the extra 15,000 Qantas Points. But if you want a new Qantas credit card, you can still get bonus points through an introductory offer. I hope this helps.
I have many points with another airline. Can I transfer these to Qantas If I took one of the above cards. We travel a lot. Cheers!
Hi Stephen,
It’s helpful to know that you can transfer other points to your Qantas frequent flyer program. Please refer to our guide about transferring points to the Qantas Frequent Flyer program. You can find the rewards program you can transfer to Qantas and what you should be aware of when transferring reward points to the Qantas Frequent Flyer program with a bonus promotion.
Could you tell me if all credit card companies have the same eligible purchase policy in regards to what constitutes a NON ELIGIBLE PURCHASE and an eligible?
Also, I have a CBA credit card as it partners with flight centre and I have 700,000 points but my points value is terrible so I’m looking at a Qantas card to replace it so I can get better value for points. I also want to enjoy lounges when I travel.
Hi Peter,
Not all credit card issuers have the same list of eligible purchases thus it would be best for you to review the card’s Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions or contact the provider if you have specific questions.
The CommBank Awards program offers you awards points for everyday spending and it also gives you options for earning either Qantas or Velocity frequent flyer points. If you choose to apply for a credit card with free lounge access, please use our comparison table to compare your options. When you are ready, press the ‘Go to site’ button to apply.
What card would give me the highest amount of points for international travel? I am planning on being away for a year or so require a card tht can reward me with qantas points.

Hi,
We joined Frequent Flyer (Bronze) 2 months ago, as yet no card. Is this normal?
Thank you.

Hi Bruce,
Please note that if you joined through the Qantas Club Service Centre, your membership card will be delivered within 14 days. Since you mentioned that it has been 2 months when you joined, kindly contact the Frequent Flyer Service Centre as soon as possible to report this matter. Additional info, Bronze Frequent Flyer Cards are only issued to eligible members residing in Australia. A Replacement Card Fee might be charged when a replacement card is issued. However, you may request to waive the said fee since you did not receive the initial membership card.
