The Bank of Queensland (BOQ) Q Rewards is a credit cards reward program for cardholders with a BOQ Blue Visa Credit Card or BOQ Platinum Visa Credit Card. You can use these points when shopping at Q Rewards partners (like Kogan and Apple) or transfer the points to Flybuys or Velocity Points (with the Platinum Visa Card).

How can I earn BOQ rewards points with a credit card?

You'll earn Q Rewards points at the following rates for each $1 of eligible spending when you have one of these BOQ credit cards:

🔥Tip: Look for introductory bonus point offers on BOQ credit cards if you're not a customer yet. They can give you hundreds and thousands of Q Rewards Points when you first get a card and meet the requirements.

What counts as eligible spending?

You can earn BOQ Q Rewards points when you make an eligible transaction. This covers most purchases except for exclusions like cash advances, balance transfers, special promotions, BPAY payments, government-related transactions, ATM charges, payments to other BOQ accounts and purchases of foreign currency.

Check BOQ's terms and conditions (pdf) for the full exclusions list.

What can I redeem Q Rewards points for?

You'll be able to view all the details of current rewards by logging into your BOQ account and navigating to the Q Rewards section. To give you an idea, here are details that were publicly available in 2024.

  • Flybuys transfers. You can transfer Q Rewards points to Flybuys by linking your accounts. The transfer rate and other details are not publicly available, so log in to see full details.
  • Velocity Points transfers. If you have a BOQ Platinum Visa credit card you can transfer points to Velocity Frequent Flyer at a rate of 3 Q Rewards points for 1 Velocity Point. You can transfer a minimum of 30,000 Q Rewards points per transfer.
  • Cashback options. When you use your credit card to pay for eligible purchases, you can receive a statement credit back to your account. You can also use points to pay your annual card fee.
  • Digital gift cards. You can redeem points for gift cards with partner brands.

How much are Q Rewards points worth?

There is no clear fixed dollar value for BOQ Q Rewards Points. It largely depends on what you redeem them for.

Rewards have different values, and the BOQ Q Rewards website does not publicly list the points needed for all of them. So you'll need to have an account and login to see details.

You can also calculate the value of your points for different types of rewards, or get an estimate of the value with Finder's points calculator.

    Can I hire a car with points?

      AmyDecember 21, 2023Finder

      Hi Sally,
      You can’t directly redeem points with a car hire company. But you could redeem your points for a gift card with travel related partners such as Uber or Flight Centre (which offers car hire). Another option would be to redeem points for cashback on your account after hiring a car. If you have more specific questions, you may want to contact the Q Rewards Centre on 1300 206 349. I hope this helps.

      Hi Barry,

      According to BOQ, there is no cap on how many Q Rewards Points can be accumulated. You are able to continue growing your Points balance and save your points until you are ready to redeem.

      Hope this helps,

      I want to redeem my points for a purchase at a Department store. I am concerned that if I request gift cards they may go astray in the mail. If this happens who is responsible?
      Can I receive cash in lieu of gift cards?

      Hi Phil,

      Thanks for your question.

      I’m not sure who will be responsible for any gift cards lost in the mail. You may have to directly contact BOQ to enquire about this.

      Unfortunately, Reward points have no monetary value, are not transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash.

      However, you cam request for a Cashback. The amount of a cashback is credited to your Account, reducing your outstanding debt.

      Cheers,
      Anndy

      Hello Ken,

      Thanks for your feedback.

      Just to confirm, you have come through to finder.com.au, not the BOQ website. As such, you’re unable to redeem your points through our website.

      Instead, I’ve emailed you a link the BOQ website and points redemption page for your convenience.

      Cheers,

      Sally
