NAB Qantas Signature Card Review

11th June 2020

What’s good?

The NAB Signature Card is a top-tier Qantas frequent flyer points earning credit card with great benefits. Currently offering 100,000 bonus Qantas points when you spend $3,000 on purchases within the first 60 days of opening your account, and an additional 30,000 bonus points after your first year anniversary, this credit card has one of the best Qantas rewards offers on the market. It receives stiff competition from the likes of ANZ’s Frequent Flyer Black and Qantas’ own Qantas Premier Platinum, however stands tall if you’re willing and patient enough to pay the second annual fee on month 13. Note that the second and ongoing annual fee is $100 higher than the first at $395.

The NAB Qantas Rewards Signature Card offers excellent platinum benefits such as extended warranty insurance, price protection insurance & purchase protection insurance for personal items. They also offer a range of travel related insurance products.

Extended Warranty Insurance grants you up to 12 months additional warranty for eligible items purchased on your card up to $10,000 in value, unless the original warranty is greater than 5 years. Price protection insurance gives you confidence that you’re paying the lowest price for eligible items you purchase in a store. The insurance offers you “The difference between the price you paid for a new item, and a lower printed advertised price for the same item if that difference is more than $75. The printed advertised price must be within 21 days following your purchase and from a store no more than 25km from where you purchased it.” Another great benefit is that the card offers no additional card holder fee. This means that it is easier to meet the points spending thresholds without additional cost.

For the full list of insurance offerings, requirements and exclusions, check here.

What could be better?

NAB Qantas Rewards Signature card fees are higher than average at 3%, however this is in line with ANZ’s offering. This means that although the card is fantastic for shopping domestically, it doesn’t make for a great international purchase card. In addition, with only 44 days interest free on purchases, you need to make sure you stay on top of your credit card balances.

Overall?

NAB’s Qantas Rewards Signature Card is a great option for those seeking to earn Qantas rewards points at an affordable price
