Credit Card Points Transfer to QR

[Viridis]

Just opened a QRPC account yesterday and linked it to my BAEC account.

Is there any Australian credit card that transfers at a reasonable rate to QR? Amex Plat doesn't. Whilst the US Gold doesn't, it does transfer to the BAEC but that would be a slow old process.

I believe that the Commbank cards do but at an appalling redemption rate (0.29?)

Anything better?

Citi Prestige is 3:1 to QRPC so also not great but the free Payall at $20k a month makes up for it at the moment.

Thanks for that

I used to have the Prestige but returned it when NAB bought Citi

Yeah, 3:1 not great

And I have the HSBC Star Alliance card - it doesn’t have a payall facility but you can use it for BPay. Not sure what the limit is though

Does the HSBC Star Alliance card pay points on BPay transactions?

Great question. I’d love to know too.

I actually didn’t keep tabs on the points balance ….. so I can’t answer the question

But I will next month and I’ll let you know

The T&Cs say no points on Bpay but maybe their systems don't enforce it on this card yet?

They haven’t told their staff yet! I tried and had some sort of security problem, when I rang to fix the CSR insisted this transfer was not possible! I’ll ring back when I’m feeling more able to deal with untrained staff.

Perhaps you could refer them to Amex's own website

Yeah, I couldn’t be bothered doing their training. I’ll ring back in a few days, training will probably have been done by then.

I’ll ring back in a few days

Prob a good thing they couldn't do it for you, just got notified that there is a 20% bonus on transfers for QR Avios until 18 August.

 

[burmans]

Indeed!
