BankSA Amplify Rewards Credit Card

The BankSA Amplify credit card is a credit card giving you a chance to choose between two rewards programs to super-boost your lifestyle choices. While some consumers prefer the flights by acquiring Qantas Frequent Flyer Points, others prefer a good bottle of wine or a gadget to bling up their home.

The Amplify card from BankSA allows you to earn points for shopping and link the card to the Amplify Qantas or the Amplify Rewards program. Both bring a selection of freebies to the table and in the end you should choose the one that promises you the best rewards overall.

How many points do I earn?

  • Link your card to Amplify Rewards: $1 = 1 Amplify point
  • Link tour card to Amplify Qantas: $2 = 1 Qantas frequent flyer point

With the Qantas Rewards option you’ll also receive complimentary membership to the Qantas Frequent Flyer program. This offer is valid for non-members only and will not last.

Pros
  • The BankSA Amplify Rewards Credit Card lets you choose between two different rewards programs. Cardholders can choose between the Qantas Frequent Flyer program and Amplify Rewards.
  • 0.99% on balance transfers for the first 6 months is a competitive rate.
  • For new cardholders who wish to accrue Qantas Frequent Flyer points instead of Amplify Rewards, the Amplify Qantas joining fee will be waived. This is a saving of approximately $80. This offer is limited to one membership per account.
Cons
  • The Amplify Qantas option only lets you earn 0.50 Qantas Frequent Flyer Point per $1 spent, which is uncompetitive when compared to the average among other cards of 1: 1.
  • Average interest rates on purchases at 18.74% p.a is quite high.
