    Sorry. I'm a bit confused but when you said you would cancel your credit card before the annual fee is charged, what is the reason for that?

    • @minnowx7099
      @minnowx7099 3 роки тому +2

      Because then you won’t be charged the annual fee… eg a card that has a first year free will charge the annual fee on the first anniversary unless you cancel it before that first anniversary

    I started doing Qantas surveys during lockdown which gives a great amount of points depending on how long the survey goes for 😀

    Hey Queenie, I love your videos and I've learned heaps from you and I honestly owe it to you! Not sure if this is a dumb question, but if I were to sign up for a credit card (one of the main purposes to travel), do I need to travel that specific year?

    • @InvestWithQueenie
      @InvestWithQueenie  2 роки тому

      Aww I’m so glad you find them helpful. No you don’t need to, the points land in your Qantas account so you can use them whenever you want. But they do expire after 2 years if there’s no activity spending or using points so something to be aware of!

    Thanks for the video Queenie. Just a quick question- is paying rent to a rental agency considered an “eligible purchase” to earn points on credit card ?

    • @InvestWithQueenie
      @InvestWithQueenie  2 роки тому

      It depends if you can pay the rent with your credit card or not and what system the agency uses to charge your card. Best is to ask AMEX :)

    I was actually considering this as a method with my partner the other day.
    I realised I wasn't eligible due to me currently possessing a rewards card, but my partner is.
    And yes, always pay the full amount back each month.
    PS, I'd love to travel the globe again soon.

    Hi Queenie, would it not hurt your credit score if you decide to cancel your credit card before annual fee renewal?

    • @uberboiz
      @uberboiz Рік тому

      I think your credit score is impacted by your ability to service your debt, not by your decision to cancel the card before annual fee is due.

      I spend 3k on any purchases which I would normally do such as my groceries bills etc. And then I get the bonus points. Does that make sense?

    I really liked the information in this video, Never knew this was possible till now, Thanks just one question, (in australia banks see credit cards as DEBT when borrowing money for example investment property loan and it will affect your borrowing power) just wondering if i would be able to cancel the credit card and then goto a bank to get a loan will it come up or is there a time limit i need to wait or anything or will it always affect my borrowing power? Thank you :) GLOBE
    EDIT: Also to add just wondering if you get the credit card then cancel before the year is done,(to avoid annual payment) can you re-apply to the credit card to get the 3 month $3000, 110,000 point bonus again? or does it not really matter as there is lots of credit cards out there to choose from?

    • @InvestWithQueenie
      @InvestWithQueenie  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for your questions!
      Usually the banks look at the statement of the last 3 months so if you have had a credit card within the last 3 months they would ask to show the statement but would know that the credit card is now closed. Best is to check with your mortgage broker for more info on this.
      Regarding the bonus points, the offers are only for new card holders and usually card providers have a minimum limit of time before offering the bonus points again such as 18 months but this depends based on the provider so make sure you check the T&Cs before signing up to any card.

      Also, the fuel companies have reshuffled in the past few years, so may change gears again down the road.
      Currently QANTAS is at BP (used to be Caltex/Woolies Rewards) and Virgin is now at 7-11 (used to be BP)

    Globe 🌎 Thank you for sharing this info very informative, I have always wanted to fly business class but always been put off by the price.. I collect my qantas reward points with woolworths everyday rewards card & with the Qantas well-being app connected to my Fitbit $10,000 steps gets me 1.8 points a day and 60, 000 steps a week gets me and extra 8 points this is another way to keep your points and account active. The more steps you do, the more points you get 😀 I will definitely apply for a Qantas rewards credit card now as in the past I was a bit apprehensive about it, I wish I knew about this earlier! Thank you once again.
