NAB Qantas Rewards Premium Card Point Hacks Exclusive Offer

Ended — kept for reference

This page is my best effort to summarise the card's terms from the information I found. Read the bank's terms for full details, or contact the bank if you have questions.

I'd like to use my bonus for:

Can I get this?

This offer is advertised to the public. Bonus conditions and the bank’s approval requirements still apply.

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

I have not checked the waiting period for this bonus.

See the waiting rules for every Australian bank →

What must I spend?

$2,500 within 60 days — about $1,250 per month.

Can I get the card?

The minimum credit limit is $6,000. This is the least the bank may let you borrow.

I do not have a minimum income for this card.

Meeting the bonus rules does not mean the bank will approve your application. The bank must assess and approve the card separately.

How long is this available?

The listed end date has passed: 13 December 2021. Date comparison uses the Australia/Sydney calendar. The issuer’s closing time and timezone are not recorded. Check availability with the issuer.

What do the points buy?

Should I keep it after the first year?

Keeping the card costs $150 each year ($150 annual fee) — the first year was $150.

There is no bonus in year two. The fee buys points on your spending, plus the card's perks.

Ongoing earn: 0.66x Qantas points per $1.

Keeping pays off only if the ongoing earn and benefits are worth $150/yr to you.

The maths behind churn value

71,650 Qantas points at 1.6¢ a point − $150 in first-year fees. This is flight value, not cash. It assumes you earn the bonus and pay in full.

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.
  • You close the card before the next annual fee, or you decide keeping it is worth that fee.
