Ways to earn Qantas and NAB Rewards points
If you have a Qantas Rewards credit card or a NAB Rewards credit card, or thinking about getting one, you can earn points (and bonus points) simply by rethinking your spending strategy. By using your credit card for everyday purchases and consolidating your monthly expenses, you can watch your points balance soar. Here are some ways to earn more points on your rewards credit card.
Pay your everyday expenses
Your day-to-day spending can be a goldmine for earning points. Whether it's groceries, utility bills or fuel, using a Qantas Rewards credit card or a NAB Rewards credit card for these regular expenses is a savvy move.
By mastering how credit cards work and learning the ins and outs of how credit card points work, you can turn your everyday expenses into a source of Qantas Points and NAB Rewards Points and get closer to your next reward.
Everyday expenses that qualify for earning points include:
- Groceries and supermarket shopping.
- Your rent.
- Utility and service bills.
- Fuel and transportation costs.
Earn bonus NAB Rewards Points and Qantas Points
You can maximise your points and earn bonus points by taking advantage of affiliate programs and services that are linked to your credit card provider. Occasionally, rewards partners offer special promotions where card holders are eligible to earn additional bonus points, so be on the lookout for these offers.
Get the most points on your holidays
With both Qantas Rewards and NAB Rewards credit cards, you have the option to earn more points by using your card to book hotels and flights around the world.
If you have a Qantas Rewards credit card, you can opt-in to earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points on everyday purchases. By using your credit card for larger purchases like flights and accommodation, your points balance can quickly grow, getting you closer to another reward.
If you have a NAB Rewards credit card, you can have your points sent to your programs like flybuys, Velocity Frequent Flyer, Cathay Pacific and more. With a good amount of variety at your fingertips, you can book flights with many carriers and get exposed to greater offers with their partners.
From time to time, you may see special deals that specific airlines offer for card holders. You could increase your point earning potential with these timely offers, so if you see them around, take them up because these deals can make your future holidays cheaper.
Ways to redeem your NAB Rewards Points and Qantas Points
The fun begins once you’ve accumulated enough to redeem your rewards points. Here are some of the options for redeeming your points.
Book flights and hotels
Redeeming your points for flights and hotels is one of the most popular redemption options. In some cases, it could lessen the cost of your entire holiday.
Upgrade your experiences
Elevate your travel experience by using rewards points to upgrade your flights or other services. For example, if you have a long-haul flight, you can use your points to upgrade your seat to a premium seat with extra legroom, or even score business class amenities.
Enjoy travel insurance
The NAB Rewards and Qantas Rewards cards offer complimentary travel insurance, giving you that added peace of mind when you travel. Travel insurance can cover the cost of trip cancellations, lost luggage and even emergency medical expenses. But ensure you review the inclusions and details of the insurance policies to see if they meet your needs and requirements.

With your NAB Rewards points, you can access the NAB Rewards Store where you can redeem your points for digital gift cards, cashback, and more.
Whatever you’re working towards with your points, it’s important to spend within your means and have a budget in mind. It’s quite easy to get wrapped up in the thought of using your card to collect points, but don’t let that excitement get in the way of your financial goals.
