What this calculation assumes
  • You make the required purchases and the bonus is paid.

  • The required spend is ordinary planned spending, not extra cost.
  • Gift-card rates are the recorded redemption catalogue, rechecked at renewal.

Did this help you make a decision?

Can I get this?

This is a public offer.

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?

$3,000 minimum credit limit — a lending commitment, not a reward fact.

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: November 17, 2026.

Should I keep it after the first year?

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

Second year pays 50,000 Qantas points if you still hold the card into year two. The recorded terms don't detail the exact second spend hurdle — check the issuer terms before counting on it.

Ongoing earn: 1.25x Qantas points per $1.

Keeping pays off only if you meet the second-year conditions and use the points and benefits enough to cover $450/yr.

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