HELP! - Bonus Points are not available if you’ve received a NAB Qantas rewards acquisition bonus points offer in the last 18 months - meaning

[moxrox]

I signed up for a NAB qantas credit card in 2023 and received the bonus points July 2023 (70k). I cancelled the card in Feb 2024.

Their current offer for NAB Qantas Rewards Signature states 'Bonus Points are not available if you’ve received a NAB Qantas rewards acquisition bonus points offer in the last 18 months'.

As I received the bonus points in July 2023 (2 years ago) does that mean I am eligible again? Or does it go from the cancellation date?

Thanks

A plain reading would mean you’re eligible now, but best to call them and ask.

I was under the impression that it’s 18 months since you last held (cancelled) the card… in which case you’re eligible in August

I tend to close straight after getting the points, so practically it’s no different for me.

But that is definitely a change in wording and reads like you will be eligible. It’s actually a better policy for the banks to treat us this way anyway as it removes one of the reasons to close your card ASAP after getting bonus points.
