[Beatrix Gerke]

Toactivate your Qantas Premier Money Card, login into www.qantasmoney.com/premieractivate and choose your card PIN online at Qantas Money or via the Qantas Money App. During activation of your card, you will be prompted to create a 4-digit card PIN.

Over the phone: Call us on 1300 992 700 anytime, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Qantas Premier Titanium cardholders can call their Dedicated Concierge using the number found on the back of their card or in the Qantas Money App

Sign-up for Easi-Pay to pay your bill automatically by direct debit. You can choose to pay the minimum payment due or the closing balance. Important: It can take up to 3 business days for your Easi-Pay payment to be cleared from the bank account you have nominated to be debited. Until the payment is cleared, these funds will not be available for use.

Take your Qantas Premier credit card to any Australia Post office displaying the Bank@Post symbol, together with your cheque, EFTPOS or cash payment. Cheque payments are considered deposited on the day of processing but please allow 6 working days for cheque clearance. An over-the-counter fee applies and will be debited to your credit card account.

To be eligible, cardholders must earn at least $200,000 per year, plus there is a $1,200 annual fee to consider. So, it goes without saying that this card is not for everyone. But, for cardholders who want a high-earning non-Amex card that offers a wonderland of travel features and handy extras, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card could be well worth a closer look.

Sweetening the deal on the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card, new cardholders can currently benefit from 150,000 bonus Qantas Points when they spend $5,000 on the card within 3 months from card approval. To be eligible, you must apply and be a new Qantas Premier Titanium cardholder.

To give you an idea of the value of those bonus points, you could fly one-way Economy from Sydney to London on a Classic Flight Reward flight using 60,000 Qantas Points, plus $271 taxes, fees and carrier charges. Alternatively, you could fly one-way Economy on a Classic Flight Reward flight using 45,000 Qantas Points plus $252 taxes, fees and carrier charges.

As the card provides the highest Qantas Points earn rate for Mastercard in Australia, this could be a popular choice for cardholders looking for an alternative to American Express, which is not as widely accepted as Mastercard, and can come with higher acceptance charges. As for that tiered earning, it does significantly cut the earn rate, but it may suit cardholders who tend to spend to that $12,500 each month.

How does it work? Simply book a Qantas operated or Qantas advertised flight via qantas.com or via Qantas Premier Titanium Concierge, and use your card to pay for your flights in full (no Points + Pay). The bonus Status Credits will then be awarded to you within 72 hours after the flight.

As you earn more Status Credits, you can climb Qantas Frequent Flyer membership tiers, from Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum to Platinum One. Each tier offers more perks, so the higher you climb, the more you benefit.

First up, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card provides cardholders with a 10% discount on Qantas operated flights for two bookings per year for two people on all fare classes (international and domestic). Obviously, to be eligible, you must use the card for the booking, and the booking must be made through the Qantas Premier Titanium Concierge.

The First Lounge invitations may be used on any QF, JQ, 3K, GK, BL numbered flight at Sydney, Melbourne or LAX international airports, and they can be extended to a guest who is flying with you. As for the Business Lounge invitations, they can be used at any Qantas Operated International Business Lounge (except LAX) and domestic Qantas Club. You may invite a guest, provided you are travelling on the same booking.

To be eligible, the airfares of all travellers who are to be covered must be paid for with the primary or additional Qantas Premier Titanium credit card, travel must start and end in Australia, and the level of cover is dependant on the type of travel, for example, if it is international or domestic.

Allowing cardholders the opportunity to save on interest when using their card to cover Qantas spending, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card provides six months interest free on the first purchase of selected Qantas products and services, including Qantas flights, Qantas Club fees, Qantas Gift Vouchers, Qantas Store and Qantas Wine purchases, plus more.

Usually $99 per year, Qantas Wine Premium Membership is provided as a complimentary extra for Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card holders. This membership offers a selection of specially curated wine and gourmet food, with access to exclusive wine products, member-only offers and wine tastings events. Members also earn an additional 3 points on top of any other Qantas Points earned, along with free delivery within Australia.

Cardholders can also enjoy access to even more rewards with the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card, simply by using the Qantas Money app to activate any Card Offers they are interested in when shopping at their favourite stores.

The Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card allows cardholders to earn more on their card as they get active, with the Qantas Wellbeing app. You can earn up to an additional 20,000 Qantas Points per year by participating in the daily and weekly challenges, to start earning points by completing everyday activities.

As you would expect from a high-end card such this, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card offers a dedicated concierge service. The Qantas Premier Titanium Concierge is on hand seven days a week from 8am to 8pm, allowing you to book Qantas flights with your 10% discount, to book concert tickets or to make restaurant reservations.

As we mentioned previously, the Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card has a rather eye-watering annual fee of $1,200. If you choose to add any additional cardholders to the account, this will come at a cost of $100 per cardholder. Is it worth it? It certainly could be, but you need to figure out whether you get more back in features and rewards than you pay out in annual fees.

The Qantas Premier Titanium Credit Card is a high-end card with high-end features - and a high-end price tag. If you meet the eligibility requirements and think you will get more back in features and rewards than the $1,200 annual fee, this card could well be worth investigating, especially given its current offer of 150,000 bonus Qantas Points.

The Titanium offers (not) a lot but delivers even less. The 10% savings on travel can be better achieved by simply looking for sales. You also get hit with a booking fee which takes back some of the savings. $12,500 maximum monthly spend for extra FF points....so why target people who earn over $200k - there should be no maximum. The extra status credits - they frequently get them wrong or don't award them without being chased up. Concierge - based in the Philippines, frequently poor line quality, some staff very good but also often get staff who do not completely comprehend the issue and cannot fix the problem without referral elsewhere, and promised return-calls may or may-not be returned. It's metal, but not like Centurian - this is a cheap sandwich of metal and plastic and nowadays you rarely use the card beyond a tap so if you were hoping to impress (it doesn't) you will be mostly out of luck. Access to lounges - most who get this card are already high FF status and therefore don't require the passes - and unlike other cards (eg Qantas Ultimate Amex) - you cannot transfer them to anyone else so they go unused. Insurance - Titanium is $5k max on car excess. Some hire cars have a higher excess than this so you aren't actually fully covered. Q Ultimate Amex is 20k for hire car which means you never have to take out additional insurance. $1,200/year plus $100 for additional card-holder - zero back in travel (beyond the discount). Q Ultimate Amex is $450/year and you get $450 travel credit. All in all, it looked like it offered something a bit different - perhaps a card with exceptional service that was widely accepted. In the end it is simply an overpriced way to get an additional 150k points. Suggestions for improvement: Move Concierge back to Australia, Remove booking fees on flights using concierge, make points accumulation unlimited per month, give some kind of credit for travel, raise the insurance coverage for Car Rental, make the Lounge Access transferable....that would be a start
