Can you confirm if this card awards points for payments to the ATO for BAS and tax payments and if so at what rate per $ spent.

My company has 2 directors. Can both directors apply and receive the 170k points each?

Hi David, This seems unlikely – since you’re applying for the card for your business and using its ABN, you likely can’t score the points more than once.

Is groceries an eligible purchase?

Hi Vic,


Yes groceries are an eligible everyday purchase. Ineligible purchases include things like cash advances, online gambling, interest and fees.

Hi

What happens after I spent the $3000 and receive the 130000 points. What’s happen when I pay the credit card bill and then spend another $3000 each month due to business purchasing expenses.

Cheers Aussie.

Hi Aussie,


Seperate to the bonus points offer, you’ll receive points for every dollar you spend on eligible purchases on your card. On this card, you’ll earn 1.25 Qantas Points per $1 spent on everyday purchases; 0.5 points/$1 spent on utilities, insurance and government bodies; and 2 points/$1 spent on Qantas products. After the first 500,000 points earned on this card in a calendar year, the everyday earn rate changes to 0.75 points per $1. So, if you spend another $3,000 per month on a range of different things, you could earn between 0.5 and 2 points per dollar spent.


Hope this helps!

Hi Pani,


With credit cards you can earn points on eligible purchases or transactions. This can vary by bank or card company but it typically covers most everyday purchases but excludes things like: bill payments to the government, BPAY transactions, gambling, money transfers or other cash advance transactions.
