Whether you fly for business or purely for pleasure, the American Express Qantas Premium credit card is designed for those who love to travel. If you want to be rewarded for spending, then look no further! AMEX have paired up with Qantas to offer an industry leading frequent flyer scheme where you’re rewarded for every single dollar spent on your card.

Pros

Not only does the Qantas Premium card offer a decent earning ratio ($1 = 1.25 QFF points), but you can earn an additional 2.25 points for every $1 spent on selected Qantas services. There’s absolutely no limit on the number of points you can collect and there’s no expiry date so you can keep on saving. A return flight from Melbourne to Sydney is 16,000 points, which would take a business very little time to accumulate, especially when you consider that AMEX is accepted at thousands of locations around the world! The card also comes with complimentary domestic and overseas travel insurance, a feature that helps reduce your expenses further. Another nice feature are the two annual Qantas Club invitations to over 130 Qantas operated airport lounges around the world, making travel that bit more enjoyable.

Cons

Eligibility for the American Express Qantas Premium card could pose problems for some. In order to register you must be earning at least $40,000 per annum. The $149 p.a. annual fee is also above average, so it’s advisable that you weigh up the costs and fees against the savings made on flights. If you don’t plan on spending much on your credit card, then the Qantas Premium may not be your best bet.

Conclusion

If you love flying as much as you do spending, then the Qantas Premium is the card for you. With thousands of ways to rake in the points, it’s only a matter of time before you’re on that flight, sipping a martini and enjoying the view.
