Hi Paul
Thanks for your question
1) Does the domestic flight mentioned on this card include Perth to the eastern states (eg Melbourne).

All flights are subject to availability and neither American Express nor Qantas guarantee that seats or tickets will be available on the dates or at the times you may wish to fly.” It would be best to check with American Express customer service with this specific query.
2) What does ‘selected Qantas products and services’ entail to earn the additional 2500 points.

If I have cancelled a previously held Visa and Amex joined card acquired through a bank, does this still make me a new customer if I apply online and I do not currently hold an American Express card?
Hi Nanette. Technically, yes; however, this product is no longer open to applicants. Sorry for the delayed response. Jacob.
There is no cap in earning points p.a., right?
The points don’t have a use by /expiry date?
Hi Ivan,
That’s correct, there is no cap or expiry on points. Thanks for your question.
Cheers

I see this is not available to temporary residents. Myself and my partner are currently on an extended business Visa (sub-class 457) valid until May 2016. Does this mean we are not eligible to apply?!
Thank you.
H Ross. Thanks for your question and apologies for the delay in our response. Some American Express credit cards are available to holders of a sub-class 457 Visa. Please see each card’s review and application page for eligibility. Jacob.
How many QFFP do you get when you use the card overseas. As you get charged 3% exchange fee.?
Hi Linda. This card has been removed from the market. Please have a look at our frequent flyer comparison page for information about earning Qantas Frequent Flyer points. Thanks for your question and sorry about the delay in getting back to you. Jacob.
I have the Qantas Ultimate Credit card and my wife has a supplementary card. We are travelling overseas and have booked our payed for our Qantas flights with the Amex card. Are we both covered under the free travel insurance that I understand is included with this card?
Hi Ian. Thanks for your question. With complimentary travel insurances offered with American Express cards, the supplementary cardholder does not receive the same benefits as the primary cardholder — please check with ACE Insurance Limited, they are the providers of the insurance cover for American Express. Jacob.
