What are the changes?
Earning Qantas Points
This will vary depending on the type of card you have.
Bankwest Qantas Classic Mastercard
The earn rate has changed from 0.5 to 0.3 Qantas Points per $1 spent on eligible purchases. The annual Qantas Points Cap of 50,000 is gone, so there’s now no limit to the amount of points you can earn each year. This applies to existing cardholders only. The Bankwest Qantas Classic is only available to new customers who apply by 24 May 2019 and are approved.
Bankwest Qantas Platinum Mastercard
The earn rate has changed from 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 is gone, so there’s now no limit to the amount of points you can earn each year.
Bankwest Qantas World Mastercard
The earn rate has changed 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 hasn’t changed.
Refunds and reimbursements
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.
