Certainly, everyone would prefer to receive rewards for using their credit card. It seems like the least the credit card provider can do for all the business we give them. Some rewards programs offer a few choices in gifts that you must select from. Often, those are not even things that you want or need. Because of time constraints, those cards require using the points for cheap items that are no reward whatsoever.

The best rewards cards are those that are simple to use and allow flexibility in what items you can apply your points toward. The Qantas Rewarder Credit Card Program supplies the convenience of easy redemption of points at so many places and the ability to use the points for any purchase you make. Here are some of the reasons that we recommend this card.

Where Can You Spend Your Points?

As you know, most rewards programs give you an online location to view the points you have accumulated and how they converts to credit towards a purchase or redemption. The problem with many of these reward point programs is that they are very limited on where you can redeem credits and what you can receive at the limited merchant areas.

The Qantas program is much more straightforward and you don’t have to worry if your accumulated dollars will be accepted by a vendor. You choose your own rewards, not something on a list of items you don’t want. Where you spend your rewards is anywhere you find an EFTPOS machine. How many merchants can you name who do not have a point of sale terminal? Not many.

The fact is whenever you use your card, it is good for the provider, so why shouldn’t it be a reward to you, regardless of whether you are eating out, buying groceries or getting petrol for your car. That is the way Qantas designed the program, so it will work for everyone, not just a select group who does certain things on a regular basis. Shouldn’t every rewards program work that way?

What Are the Features for the Rewarder Program?

As mentioned earlier, one of the best things about the Qantas Staff Credit Union Rewards Program is how simple it is to implement and use. That is why these features are so important.

  • Accumulate one point for every dollar spent on any purchase through the point of service terminal
  • Access to accumulated rewards points anywhere in Australia where there is EFTPOS availability
  • Receive .005 cents for every point you earn with your purchases
  • Every time you use your QSCU Lifestyle and Lifestyle Plus Credit Card you get reward points
  • The yearly fee for the use of the card is only $55
  • Simple application for the Rewarder Program is to check the box on the credit card application form

If you have owned some of those other cards, you probably received a catalogue of products you could purchase when you acquired enough points, and if you are like so many Aussies, you may not have found anything you wanted or could get enough points to redeem even if you did. After months of heavy credit card purchases, you probably settled for whatever you could get at the time just to feel like you were getting your money’s worth.

With those programs, you still have to wait for an extended period of time before you can get vouchers to convert to rewards. By the time you finally receive anything for your expenditures and all the trouble you go through to get the points redeemed and products you don’t want, you feel more like you have a penalty program than one giving rewards.

Rewarder does the work for you in appreciation of your use of their credit card. When you spend, points are loaded onto your Rewarder card automatically. You spend points on whatever you choose at any time that you choose. Any merchant with an EFTPOS terminal is a place where you can acquire and spend your points. You don’t have to check the sign in the window to know if you will get your deserved credit from each purchase.

Many programs require over 30 days for the points to actually be credited to your account. Why? The Qantas Rewarder applies your credits each week. Isn’t that the way every rewards card should conduct business?

Where and What You Want in a Rewarder Credit

There may be programs that resemble the Rewarder, but they pale in comparison. Be sure you apply at a participating financial institution to get the best rewards program in Australia. Rewarder is available at many building societies, credit unions and financial institutions. Anywhere you live, there is a facility near you where you can get the QSCU Rewarder credit card.

Although every Rewarder credit card works in the same fashion, you do have a choice of programs based on the type of card you receive. There are three levels and applications of the program. You have a choice of the classic, gold, or business Rewarder Program.

Using Your Qantas Rewarder Credit Card

You will have no problem receiving points with your Rewarder card. If it is a personal or family card, pay for everything you purchase with your card, whether it is utilities, groceries, retail purchases or anything else. If you have a business card, anything attributable to your business adds up to points, and since many of those purchases or payments for services are necessary for conducting your business, you may as well get points for them.

Don’t be concerned with the size of the purchase when you use your card. If you are buying a cup of coffee or grabbing fish and chips, use the card to earn your rewards. Whenever you see an EFTPOS terminal, it should be a sign to use your card.

You can check the points and dollar value you have in rewards at any time. Doing so from your computer is quick and simple when you have your pertinent information, and if you are not near a computer terminal, a quick call to customer service will give you the information you need.
