Our verdict

Offers 120,000 bonus Suncorp Credit Card Rewards Points and a discounted $99 first-year annual fee, which goes to $129 after that.

The Suncorp Clear Options Platinum is a rewards credit card that also offers complimentary international travel insurance and interstate flight inconvenience insurance. With the current 120,000 bonus Suncorp Credit Card Rewards Points offer, you'd have enough points for $550 worth of Coles supermarket digital gift vouchers (from 114,700 points for one $500 gift vouchers and one $50 gift voucher). It also offers point transfers to Velocity Frequent Flyer, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer, Emirates Skywards and Flybuys – plus other rewards.

If you have an existing debt to transfer, you can save with a 0% p.a. interest rate on balance transfers for the first 9 months with this offer. Just make sure you have a plan to pay off the balance transfer before the introductory period ends, as the 21.99% p.a. interest rate that applies after that is at the high end of the scale for credit cards.

Pros

120,000 bonus points offer
0% p.a. on balance transfers for the first 9 months, with no balance transfer fee

Complimentary insurance covers including travel insurance, purchase protection and transit accident insurance

When you apply for the Suncorp Clear Options Platinum by 29 May 2024 and spend $3,000 on eligible purchases within the first 3 months, you'll score 120,000 bonus Suncorp Credit Card Rewards Points. Ongoing, you'll earn up to 1.25 points per $1 spent.

You can also take advantage of a 0% interest rate on balance transfers for the first 9 months, with no balance transfer fee. The reduced annual fee of $99 in the first year will also add to your savings, but after 12 months it reverts to $129.
