    Qantas CC FF advice needed

    Hello everyone,

    I have joined today as I stumbled over this site whilst looking for a new card. I apologise in advance as I'm not farmiliar with the site....I just hope I'm posting this in the right place (mods, feel free to move to a more appropriate location).
    To get to the point I am after a new card. I am not a frequent flyer however I do save my points to use every year or two to take my family on a holiday.
    I own a small business and spend around $7000.00 every month on my current card. It is no longer a valid Qantas FF card so I need a new one.
    Any advice would be muchly appreciated!!

    regards, thing

    Re: Trying to work out which card?
    An interesting (non-biased) report to read is the Cannex (now Canstar) Credit Card rewards Star ratings:

    Credit Card Rewards, compare credit card rewards points with Star Ratings

    While their methodology won't match other people's spends on cards, I find their data an interesting view into the various cards on the market.


    Another part of their site that I really like is their Credit Card Star ratings, which similarly ranks various credit cards and their perceived value :
    Compare Australian Credit Cards & interest rates with Star Ratings

    They've also recently added a daily updated version of their credit card data, which shows current interest rates etc.

    Welcome to AFF thing!

    I have an ANZ Gold QFF Visa (1:1 up to $2500 spend, then 1:2 up to $10000 spend, plus bonus points with partner spends).

    I'm unsure how it rates against other cards (something I should have checked out long ago, and still should)...but I'll confess the main reason I posted is to find out how Gomez and Morticia are getting on.

    Thanks guys for your replies!

    I have now learned that my new suppliers accept only Mastercard and Visa, so which card is the best for me? Also what if I got a Platinum Amex card and then paid off my Visa/Mastercard card with it, does that work?

    I don't believe amex are doing balance transfers at the moment. There has been some discussion about it in the amex forum.

    Amex have ceased balance transfers on existing cards. I believe Amex is still offering balance transfers at 6.99% for the life of the balance on new card applications.
