Qantas launches high miles-earning credit card

Qantas has unveiled a new Qantas Premier Mastercard credit card that allows users to earn two Qantas Points per A$1 (US$0.7) spent with the airline. This includes expenditure on flights, Qantas Club membership and the Qantas Store.

Meanwhile, overseas purchases earn 1.5 points per dollar spent, and eligible purchases in Australia earn one point. Points earning is uncapped, and a bonus of 60,000 points is accrued upon spending A$3,000 (US$2,240) within the first 90 days after the card is approved.

Additional benefits attached to the card include two complimentary lounge invitations each anniversary year, complimentary travel insurance and up to 20 per cent off select domestic companion fares once per year for bookings made through the Qantas Premier Concierge.
