Our verdict

Offers up to 130,000 bonus Qantas Points and $200 back on your new card, with a $425 annual fee.

Finder Awards winner

The ANZ Frequent Flyer Black Credit Card has one of the highest bonus Qantas Points offers on the market right now. It offers 90,000 bonus Qantas Points and $200 back when you spend $5,000 on eligible purchases in the first 3 months from approval. And another 40,000 bonus Qantas Points when you keep it open for over 12 months. Just keep in mind that you'd need to pay the annual fee twice to get all the bonus points. But if you did, you'd have enough points for a one-way business class flight from Sydney to Los Angeles (108,400 Qantas Points) or a return business class flight from Melbourne to Fiji (114,000 points), as an example.

The value of the bonus points and cashback can help offset the $425 yearly cost of the annual fee and rewards fee when you first get the card. But after that, make sure you think about whether the points per $1 and other features – including lounge passes and complimentary insurance – will justify its costs.

Pros

Up to 130,000 bonus Qantas Points and $200 back
2 complimentary Qantas Club Lounge invitations per year
1 Qantas Point per $1 spent up to $7,500 per statement period, then 0.5 Qantas Points / $1 spent
Complimentary insurance covers, including international travel insurance, purchase protection insurance and extended warranty insurance

Cons

You need to keep the card over 12 months to collect all the bonus points offered
The standard annual fee of $425 p.a. is high.
When you spend over $7,500 per statement period, the earn rate drops from 1 point per $1 spent to 0.5 points per $1.

From 7 June 2024, ANZ is making changes to its complimentary insurances for credit cards. For full details, please refer to the new insurance policy document from ANZ.

The ANZ Frequent Flyer Black Credit Card offers plenty of points and travel perks, including a big bonus Qantas Points offer for new customers, lounge invitations and complimentary travel insurance. It also earns a competitive 1 Qantas Point per $1 on eligible purchases up to $7,500 per statement period, then 0.5 points per $1 for the rest of that statement period. But with a relatively high $425 annual fee, you should make sure you get enough value beyond the bonus points if you plan to keep this card.

Hi, can you pay all bills, eg mortgage?

Sarah Megginson Finder

March 25, 2024

Hi Nadia,

You can use a credit card to pay your mortgage, but you would need to withdraw the money as a cash advance. This means you’ll pay interest of 20%+ from the day you withdraw the money, which makes it very expensive.

Can the Qantas reward points be used for Emirates airline ?

Sarah Megginson Finder

March 19, 2024

Yes, some Emirates flights are available for redemption using Qantas points.

What are eligible purchases?

Sarah Megginson Finder

March 19, 2024

Hi Verity, most everyday purchases like grocery shopping, paying for petrol, booking flights and accomodation and paying a bill is eligible towards the minimum spend. Ineligible transactions usually mean things like cash advances, gambling, interest payments, ATO or government payments, refunds and fees.

Is the $65 additional card fee a 1 off payment or an annual charge?

Sarah Megginson Finder

March 25, 2024

Hi David, it’s an annual fee, charged each year on the anniversary of opening the account.

Orlando

March 16, 2024

Hi, when are Qantas FF points transferred to my account. Is it once per month(specific date) or as you earn them?

I paid my account balance on my ANZ Black FF over a week ago but haven’t seen any points transferred to FF account as yet.

Sarah Megginson Finder

March 25, 2024

Hi Orlando,

The points are not transferred as you earn them in real time. They require some time to make sure all adjustments, refunds and spending is accounted for, then they transfer the points in one lump sum each month.

The points are usually transferred at the end of each statement period. For instance if your monthly statement ends March 10, and payment is due March 24, you could expect the points to land in your account by the end of March.

Hope this helps!
