Changes to Rewards points for Amplify Qantas credit cards

Points earn rate changes

The points you earn on eligible purchases2 will change. ‘Dining’ (restaurants, cafes, fast food, bars, hotels and entertainment venues) will also move from the ‘Everyday Spend’ category to ‘All other purchases’ category, which means you will earn fewer points on eligible dining transactions.

Current points earn rates are available here. These changes won’t affect your existing points balance. 

The table below outlines the updated earn rates.

The way you use your Rewards points

The Amplify Rewards Points you earn on eligible purchases2 will not change, apart from ‘dining’ which will move from the ‘Everyday Spend’ category to ‘All other purchases’ category. The changes won’t affect your existing points balance. 

The number of points you need to redeem for some options is changing. This means some items will require more Amplify Points to redeem and some items will no longer be available.  For example, the points required for a $100 eGift Card will increase from around 20,000 points to around 29,412 points. Popular options like charitable donations, Priceless Planet, and transfers to Everyday Rewards will not change.
