Similarities and differences to the Qantas Premier Platinum Card
The three variants of the Qantas Premier card are the very high-end Premier Titanium with a $1,200 annual fee, the Premier Platinum with a $399 annual fee and the Premier Everyday card with a $99 annual fee.
The key advantage of the higher end cards are the higher earn rates and point tiers – with 1.25 Qantas Points per $1 on all spend up to $12,500 with the Premier Titanium and 1 Qantas Point per $1 on all spend up to $10,000 per statement period on the Premier Platinum.
The Premier Everyday card, on the other hand, has a reduced earn rate of 0.75 Points per $1 and a lower tier of up to $3,000 per statement period – but also comes with a lower annual fee.
All three cards also earn additional Qantas points on Qantas spend and overseas purchases, plus a handful of additional Qantas-specific benefits for both the Premier Platinum and Titanium.
Qantas Money Apple Pay & Google Pay support
Qantas Money cards now support Apple Pay & Google Pay, meaning you can now use their cards on your compatible device for easier payments.
Summing up: the Qantas Premier Everyday Card
The Qantas Premier Everyday card earns fewer points per dollar compared to the more premium cards in the Qantas Premier credit card range but still offers useful benefits like the complimentary travel insurance, one that’s hard to find in other low-annual-fee cards in the market.
The card is definitely good enough against other low-fee points earning cards to get customers to consider switching away from their existing Qantas Points-earning credit cards – it just depends whether the $3,000 per statement period tier and the fact you can’t earn points on a range of government transactions will hamper your ability to earn more points for your particular spend habits.
