QF Credit Card to replace ANZ QF
QF Credit Card to replace ANZ QF
US & NZ resident have used ANZ QF card every so often to extend QF points as USA cc are better for most things in NZ. (cash back 4% petrol, 3% cash back dining, etc. with no fx fee). Have more than enough NZD to pull some out from time to time on charges.
Any suggestions for replacement as ANZ is "retiring" cards end June?

With Air NZ the dominant airline in NZ, getting a New Zealand issued credit card that has QF points as a reward, seems a challenge. Only a few major banks
Amex?
Some NZ comparison sites

Mwenenzi suggested AMEX. If it is available in NZ why not this? Especially if at least flying 1x per year with QF.
I have good experience so far with the AMEX. First QF branded card that I am keeping and going into the 2nd year just this month.
AMEX is more and more accepted, gives 1.25 points per $ spent, and the $450 card fee is given back as a QF travel credit so you don't really pay a fee for the card.

Tks all.
QF Health app not available in USA and AVG VPN has no NZ/OZ servers. Will try to download next time in NZ (October).
AMEX not realistic as never fly QF.
Have plenty of time as ANZ QF card is good through end June.
