What this calculation assumes
  • You make the required purchases and the bonus is paid.
  • You pay the balance in full — any interest changes the outcome.
  • The required spend is ordinary planned spending, not extra cost.
  • Gift-card rates are the recorded redemption catalogue, rechecked at renewal.

Can I get this?

This is an offer for invited customers.

Can I get this bonus if I have held a card before?

The bonus holding rule for this offer is unverified. Check the offer terms before applying.

See exclusion periods for every Australian issuer →

What must I spend?

$5,000 within 90 days — about $1,667 per month. The terms on this page don't record when the clock starts or how long the bonus takes to arrive after you qualify — check the issuer terms for both.

Can I get the card?

No minimum income recorded — this does not mean there is none.

Lending approval is separate from bonus eligibility: approval gets you the card, the conditions above get you the bonus.

How long is this available?

Recorded end date: July 8, 2025.

Should I keep it after the first year?

Renewal costs $1,450 each year ($1,450 annual fee) — first year was $1,450.

No second-year bonus recorded — renewal buys ongoing earn and the card's benefits only.

Ongoing earn: 2.25x American Express points per $1.

Keeping pays off only if the ongoing earn and benefits are worth $1,450/yr to you.

Year-two points aren't dollar-valued here: the redemption catalogue may change before renewal, so recheck the rate then.
