Which credit card gives the most frequent flyer points on sign-up?
Currently, the American Express Platinum Business Card offers the highest sign-up bonus with 300,000 Membership Rewards Points. Among personal cards, the Qantas Premier Titanium and Amex Platinum offer 150,000 Qantas or Membership Rewards Points, respectively. All offers are subject to eligibility criteria and spend requirements.
Can I get bonus points if I’ve held the card before?
In most cases, no. To be eligible for bonus points, you generally must be a new cardholder and not have held the same card—or sometimes even a similar card from the same provider—within the past 12 to 24 months.
Always check the terms and conditions of each offer before applying.
What’s the difference between Qantas, Velocity, and Membership Rewards points?
- Qantas Points can be used for Qantas flights, upgrades, hotels, and shopping via the Qantas Store.
- Velocity Points are Virgin Australia’s loyalty currency, great for domestic and international redemptions.
- Membership Rewards Points (Amex) are flexible and can be transferred to a variety of airline and hotel programs, including Qantas, KrisFlyer, Velocity, and more.
Each program has different redemption values and rules, so choose based on your travel goals.













Generally, we only feature Exclusive deals or cards with a high frequent flyer points sign-on bonus, however, do note that we have pages for both NO Annual Fee cards and Balance Transfer cards that may appeal to you.

Great article – one additional metric which would be really useful along with the bonus points would be to understand what the earn rate per $ is for each card. The bonus is useful, however after this I would love to know which card will earn me the most points.
Thanks
can you confirm with any of the velocity credit card offers do any check my payroll department for proof of income, i work for government and always have issues with credit providers contacting them for proof as they will not give out my pay details to anyone unless court ordered?
thanks in advancer
I held a black Westpac card in the past 12 months but it has been closed. Does this make me ineligible for the bonus points for the Westpac platinum card.
Thanks.
So you would have to wait 12 months from when you closed the card.
Any idea when the 100k sign-up bonus may return on the Personal Plat Charge?
Thanks.
We use SPG points more than say Qantas and already have AMEX cards.
Any thoughts on best card offer for this scenario ?
It would be great to see the Aspire cars in Australia

I am trying to decide on which business card to choose.
How can I compare them?
I can only find compare option for non-business cards
It’s definitely not worth sticking around the full year to get the extra 30k for another annual fee (90k points for $558 over 13 months – no thanks)!
Quick question regarding the ANZ Black card, I used to have a QFF Platinum with them, and cancelled it. So, when you say “offer only available to new ANZ Frequent Flyer customers who meet eligibility criteria, exclusions apply”, does that mean I won’t qualify for the bonus points? I cannot find any clarity on the ANZ website.
Thanks.
Jon
I’m in the market for a better QFF point earning card, and would consider Qantas Ultimate if it wasn’t for this clause. Do they really want to push me to close my two existing accounts and serve the 18 month time, just so I qualify for a deal that may/may not come up next year?
Have they never heard the old adage that the best customer is the one you already have?
Conversely, although I have no first hand experience of this unlike the UK cards, which I still have, Amex USA are worse – no churning ever.
I had the basic ANZ frequent flyer Visa/Amex and got rid of it around two weeks ago, applied for the Ultimate Qantas AMEX (through the PH link), and have just received my 75,000 bonus points.
