  • Ultimate Awards Points Earn Structure

    You can earn up to 3 Awards points or 1.2 Qantas Points for eligible purchases you make on the Ultimate Awards card. You get 3 Awards points or 1.2 Qantas Points for every $1 spent on international transactions. International transactions include any purchase you make overseas or when shopping online from Australia if the merchant or entity who processes the payment is based overseas. You get 2 Awards points or 0.8 Qantas Points for every $1 spent at major Australian supermarkets, department stores, petrol stations, dining and utilities. Earning these points depends on how the merchant categorises their business and provide us this information (directly or through their financial institution). You're unable to get these points if you use an intermediary platform such as PayPal for these transactions. You get 1 Awards point or 0.4 Qantas Points for every $1 spent on all other purchases. Once you have spent $10,000 in any given statement period, you will earn 0.5 Awards points or 0.2 Qantas Points for every dollar you spend on any other purchases within that period. Read more
