5 ways to travel smarter with a credit card

There’s nothing like travelling – flying to new places, discovering different cultures, tasting local food and unlocking unique experiences. But it doesn’t stop there. If you have a Qantas Points earning credit card, you’ll also get access to a world of benefits that’ll make every trip even sweeter.

1. Lounge invitations

Relaxation doesn’t typically start at the airport but it can when you step into one of our Qantas Club lounges or Qantas-operated International Business Lounges. Kick off your trip with tea, coffee or other beverages or refresh yourself during layovers with showers and a hot meal. Many lounge invitation credit cards come with 2 complimentary single-entry invitations annually for you to access a Qantas Club lounge or Qantas operated International Business Lounge (excluding Los Angeles Tom Bradley Terminal International Business Lounge) when you next fly with Qantas.

2. Complimentary travel insurance

Travelling can come with the occasional mishaps like lost luggage, missed flights, unexpected illness or injury, or even just your suitcase falling apart. Get peace of mind with complimentary travel insurance with Qantas Points earning credit cards. The travel insurance usually covers Covid-19, overseas medical emergency expenses, cancellations, baggage, delays and more. When choosing a credit card with complimentary travel insurance, consider the type of trip you’re planning. Some policies only cover international or domestic trips, so ensure your destination is included.

3. Travel vouchers or credits

Life is busy and it can be challenging to remember to book a holiday. That’s why some Qantas Points earning credit cards offer travel incentives, like vouchers or travel credits, to make it easier and less costly to take yourself, your family and friends away for a well deserved break.

4. No international fees

Travel can be expensive, especially when unexpected booking or transaction fees appear. Depending on which credit card with no international fees works best for your needs, you could save on international transaction fees when you travel, or when making purchases with an overseas vendor (e.g. when shopping online).

5. Additional card benefits

Depending on the Qantas Points earning travel credit card you choose, each card can come with unique benefits that may better suit your lifestyle or travel needs. These can include:

• Earning bonus Qantas Points

• Airport lounge access

• Qantas travel credit

• Concierge services

• Additional card holders at no extra fee
