Our verdict

Offers 75,000 bonus Qantas Points and $100 back, with a $295 annual fee.

The ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum gives you a way to earn Qantas Points on your everyday spending. With the current introductory offer, you'll get enough Qantas Points for a one-way economy class flight from Sydney to London (55,200 points plus fees and taxes) or a return business class flight from Brisbane to Adelaide (55,200 points) – with points left over for next time. While it’s not the biggest Qantas Points bonus offer on the market right now, it’s also sweetened by $100 back on your account when you meet the spend requirement.

If you typically spend around $3000 per month or less on your card each month, this could be a good fit, as the ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum offers 0.75 Qantas Points per $1 on eligible spending of up to $3,000 in each statement period. After that, you’ll earn just 0.5 Qantas Points per $1 for your eligible spending – plus 1 additional point per $1 spent on selected Qantas products and services. It also offers complimentary insurances for travel and shopping, and a concierge service. These features can help justify the card’s $295 annual fee and 20.99% p.a. interest rate for purchases, but only if you use them.

Pros

75,000 bonus Qantas Points and $100 back to your account
Earn 0.75 Qantas Points per $1 on eligible spending, plus 1 additional point per $1 on select Qantas spending.
Platinum perks, including complimentary international travel insurance and a personal concierge

Cons

The standard annual fee of $295 p.a. is relatively high.

The ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum earns 0.75 Qantas Points per $1 on eligible everyday purchases, which drops to 0.5 points per $1 after the first $3,000 spent in each statement period. If you do all of your spending on your card each month and this generally runs to $3,000 or less, then you'll get great value from this earn rate. If you usually spend more, then it might be worth exploring cards that have lower points caps, or higher earn rates.

Similar to some other Qantas Point-earning credit cards on the market, it also offers 1 additional point per $1 for eligible spending with Qantas. It currently offers 75,000 bonus Qantas Points and $100 back to your account when you apply as a new customer and spend $2,500 in the first 3 months from card approval, which is a relatively low spend requirement compared to some other bonus point offers on the market.

The ANZ Frequent Flyer Platinum also offers complimentary insurance covers, a personal concierge and mobile payments. Just make sure you get enough value from the points and other perks on this card to justify its $295 annual fee. And make sure you meet the spending requirements to unlock the bonus points.
