Apply for an HSBC Platinum Qantas Credit Card

Credit provided by HSBC Bank Australia Limited ABN 48 006 434 162 AFSL and Australian Credit Licence 232595.

Offer available when you apply for a new HSBC Platinum Qantas credit card. Offer is not available on product transfers or in conjunction with any other offer. HSBC may change or end this offer at any time. Fees, charges, terms, conditions and HSBC’s lending criteria applies to all credit cards issued by HSBC. Visit hsbc.com.au or call 1300 308 880. Interest rates are valid at the time of publication and are subject to change. View Terms and conditions for full details.

  1. The annual fee is $299 and subject to change. However, it will be waived in the first year (i.e., the annual fee is $0 in the first year). The annual fee will be debited for the first time on the first statement of account following the 12-month anniversary of the first debit transaction on your account, and annually thereafter. The waiver ($0 annual fee in the first year) does not apply to existing HSBC customers transferring from another HSBC credit card.
  2. To be eligible for the introductory balance transfer interest rate, you must make the balance transfer request when applying for the HSBC Platinum Qantas credit card and the balance transfer must be from non-HSBC credit cards. The total balance transfer amount must not exceed 90% of your approved credit limit. The introductory interest rate on the balance transfer applies for 12 months from the day the balance transfer has posted. After this period, any balance outstanding will accrue interest at the variable cash advance rate (currently 21.99% p.a. and subject to change). HSBC will allocate payments we receive from you to pay off the portion of your balance which attracts the highest interest rate first, and then to portions of your balance that attract lower interest rates. This may mean applying all payments made to your HSBC credit card account to pay off other transactions such as purchases and cash advances before any balance transfer amount. Full HSBC Balance Transfer terms and conditions apply.
  3. For newly issued HSBC Platinum Qantas credit cards, a promotional earn rate applies for the first 12 months from your account opening date. In addition to earning 1 Qantas Point per $1 spent on eligible purchases, you will earn an additional 0.5 Qantas Points per $1 spent on eligible purchases processed within the first 12 months of your account opening date. That is, you will earn 1.5 Qantas Points for every $1 spent on eligible purchases for the first 12 months from your account opening date. After the first 12 months from account opening, you will earn 1 Qantas Point per $1 spent on eligible purchases. Qantas Points will no longer accrue when the total value of your eligible purchases reaches $120,000 in each 12-month period commencing from your account opening date. Qantas Points previously earned are subsequently deducted if there are refunds, reimbursements or chargebacks on your account. This promotional earn rate offer is limited to new applicants only. Existing HSBC customers transferring from another HSBC credit card or customers who have held a HSBC Qantas Points earning credit card within the previous 12 months from the application date are ineligible for this offer. We reserve the right to end this offer at any time. Qantas Points are earned in accordance with and are subject to the HSBC Platinum Qantas Rewards Terms and Conditions. No points are earned on interest-free and other special promotions, balance transfers, business expenses, cash transfers, cash advances, fees and charges, any disputed transactions, BPAY® and any government fee or charge. You must be a member of the Qantas Frequent Flyer program and provide your valid membership number to HSBC to earn and redeem points. A joining fee usually applies, however HSBC has arranged for this to be waived for HSBC credit card customers opting in to the Qantas Rewards program and who join by visiting qantas.com/hsbcjoin. Membership, and the earning and redemption of points is subject to the terms and conditions of the Qantas Frequent Flyer program available at qantas.com/terms.
