What’s changing with the Bankwest Qantas Mastercard®?

This will vary depending on the type of card you have.

Bankwest Qantas Classic Mastercard
The earn rate will change from 0.5 to 0.3 Qantas Points per $1 spent on eligible purchases. The annual Qantas Points Cap of 50,000 will be removed and there won’t be a limit to the amount of points you can earn each year.

Bankwest Qantas Platinum Mastercard
The earn rate will change from the existing 0.5 to 0.75 Qantas Points per $1 spent on eligible purchases per month for the first 1,875 points, and 0.3 thereafter. The annual Qantas Points Cap of 200,000 will be removed and there won’t be a limit to the amount of points you can earn each year.

Bankwest Qantas World Mastercard
The earn rate will change from 0.66 Qantas Points to 1 Qantas Point per $1 spent on eligible purchases per month for the first 5,000 points, and 0.5 thereafter. The annual unlimited Qantas Points Cap won’t change.

If you’re refunded or reimbursed for previous charges on your card, we’ll recalculate your Qantas Points on the refund amount at the lower rate that applies to your card. This might be different from the Qantas Points earned on the transaction initially.

• credit card protection insurance
• business related expenses
• any other transactions which from time to time may be excluded by us.
