You’ll also enjoy money-saving perks like access to HSBC Instant Savings, complimentary overseas travel insurance and the ability to add a supplementary card-holder free of charge.
Enjoy a $0 annual fee in the first year
New cardholders can access a $0 annual fee for the first year. The $79 annual fee will be charged annually from the anniversary of the account opening date in each subsequent year.
Access a 0% balance transfer for 12 months (T&Cs apply)
New cardholders can access a 0% p.a. Balance Transfer for 12 months from non-HSBC credit cards on application.
To be eligible for the introductory balance transfer rate, the balance transfer request must be made when applying for the HSBC Platinum Qantas Credit Card. Your total balance transfers must not exceed 90% of your approved credit limit.
The interest rate on the balance transfer applies for 12 months and must be from non-HSBC credit cards. After this period, any balance outstanding from the balance transfer will accrue interest at the cash advance rate current at that time.
Earn 1 Qantas point per $1 spent
The HSBC Platinum Qantas Credit Card unlocks a generous earn rate of 1 Qantas Point per $1 spent on eligible purchases in Australia and overseas, up to $2,500 per statement period. While $2,500 is a relatively low threshold, the HSBC Platinum Visa represents an affordable way to earn points on everyday purchases, particularly when it is used as a companion to a higher-earning American Express card.
Every $1 spent thereafter will earn 0.5 Qantas Points. This is capped at 7,500 Qantas Points per statement period (Qantas bonus points are not subjected to capping).
