The Qantas Pay Card is a prepaid multi-currency Mastercard. This means you can add your own Australian money to the card, then convert it into one of 10 supported currencies – including US and Canadian dollars, Thai baht, Euros and Great British pounds.

Transactions that are not eligible to earn Qantas Points include:

Mobile payments
You can add any Qantas Money credit card to Apple Pay and Google Pay and make payments straight from your compatible device.
Qantas Money app
The Qantas Money app lets you manage your cards from anywhere, with features including a quick-view of your balance, the ability to temporarily lock your card and spending insights. You'll also get weekly offers for bonus Qantas Points.
Installation plans
Statement Installation Plans give you a way to pay off purchases over a set period of time, with a lower rate than the standard purchase rate on your Qantas Premier credit card. This can make bigger purchases seem more manageable because you'll typically pay the same amount off the installation each month.
Eligibility criteria
You can apply for a Qantas Premier credit card online in around 10 minutes. But before you apply, you'll need to meet the card's eligibility criteria. These are different for each card, but here's what to look for:
Income. The Qantas Premier Everyday and Qantas Premier Platinum have a minimum income of $35,000 per year. The Qantas Premier Titanium requires a minimum income of $200,000 per year.
Residential status. You must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident with an Australian mobile phone number.
Qantas Frequent Flyer member. This offer is only available to Qantas Frequent Flyer members but you can get a complimentary membership when you apply.
New customer. You'll need to be a new Qantas Premier credit card customer to get introductory bonus points and other offers.
Credit history. You must have a good credit rating.
Age. You must be at least 18 years or older.
Information and documents you need to apply
Personal information. This includes your name, phone number, email address, residential address and a valid form of ID, such as your driver's licence number.
Employment. This includes your current job, your employer's contact information or your accountant's details if you're self-employed. You'll also need to provide details of any savings.
Debts and liabilities. You need to provide information about your ongoing expenses, such as rent or mortgage payments, your weekly food budget, loan repayments and any existing credit card debts.
What happens after you apply?
Qantas Money will send you a confirmation email after you submit your application – it should come within 60 seconds. If your application is approved, you should get your card within 3-5 working days.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can use your Qantas Premier credit card to withdraw cash from most ATMs in Australia and around the world – but it will be processed as a cash advance transaction. This means you'll pay a cash advance fee and be charged interest straight away.
If you're withdrawing money overseas, an international transaction fee will also apply. You can avoid cash advance costs by using the Qantas Pay Card, or any debit card or credit card with 0% foreign transaction fees.
Qantas Money is owned and operated by Qantas Airways. But Qantas Premier Credit Cards are issued by NAB and the Qantas Pay Card is issued by EML Payment Solutions.
There are 3 ways to pay off the balance on your Qantas Premier credit card:
BPAY. The Biller Code is 266536 and the Reference is your 16-digit card number.
Automatic payments. Qantas Money offers Easi-Pay direct debits, with a choice of paying the minimum amount due or the total closing balance.
Australia Post. Take your Qantas Premier credit card to a Bank@Post outlet and pay with cash, EFTPOS or a check.
Your monthly statement will also show full details of your repayment options and the amount owed.

If you’re pertaining to having a credit card with a promotional balance transfer offer and using the credit card for purchases, you may still have the 45 or 55 days interest-free period on your purchases and the balance on BT will still be on its promotional period. You may use ou guide on managing purchases on a balance transfer credit card
