Our verdict

Offers 30,000 bonus Qantas Points and complimentary frequent flyer membership, with a $299 annual fee.

The G&C Mutual Bank Platinum Visa Credit Card is suited to people who want to earn Qantas Points with a credit card. It currently offers 30,000 bonus Qantas Points when you spend $5,000 and keep the card open within the first 90 days as a new cardholder – enough for a one-way economy class flight from Sydney to Auckland (25,200 Qantas Points plus fees and taxes). Its earn rate of 1 Qantas Point per $1 is competitive, even with the 20,000 monthly points cap. And unlike most Qantas Point-earning credit cards, you also get an annual 10,000 bonus Qantas Points.

While it does give you access to a Platinum Visa Concierge, it lacks additional travel perks like airport lounge access or complimentary insurance. So make sure you keep that in mind when you're weighing up its $299 annual fee.

Pros

30,000 bonus Qantas Points
10,000 bonus Qantas Points yearly
Earn 1 Qantas Point per $1 on eligible spending, plus 1 additional point per $1 on select Qantas spending.
Platinum perks, including hotel rewards and a personal concierge

Cons

The standard annual fee of $299 p.a. is relatively high.

The G&C Mutual Bank Platinum Visa Credit Card can be used around the world through the Visa network. You can also add it to your digital wallet with Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay. If you pay the total balance listed on your statement by the due date, you'll get up to 50 days interest-free on purchases with this card. But otherwise, a 19.99% p.a. variable purchase rate applies and will add to your balance.
