Should I load Japanese Yen onto my Qantas Money card to use in Japan or is it better to just load AUD and use that

Sarah Megginson Finder

February 20, 2024

Hi Maya, If you load it as AU currency, you may be charged currency conversion fees and international transaction fees, so you’re better off loading Yen.

February 07, 2024

Can you use your Qantas Money card to tap for purchases overseas? Will it work in Egypt?

February 14, 2024

The card works in all countries except in geographical regions currently affected by sanctions. These include Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria and the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions, though Qantas may change and update this list at any time.

You will need to present the card and physically insert or swipe it, so you won’t be able to tap.

Hope this helps!

Hello Amy, Which of the Travel Money Cards can be linked to your phone for digital payments?

Amy Bradney-George Finder

December 27, 2023

Hi Pete, Thanks for your question. One option is to consider cards that can be added to Apple Pay or Google Pay, such as the Wise Travel Money Card or Revolut travel account. Some cards also offer apps that you can use to pay and/or manage the account. While mobile wallet payments are easy for online shopping, keep in mind that you may need to use a physical card when you’re travelling. So you may want to compare a wider range of travel money cards to find one you want. I hope this helps.

November 19, 2023

I want to know, if I have loaded CAN dollars and used my card for ‘tap’ purchases, such as a coffee ect. Do fees apply?

November 21, 2023

Hi Bel, This card doesn’t charge additional fees for contactless payments. Just keep in mind that there could be other costs, for example if a business applied a fee for card payments. I hope this helps.

Are you familiar with Qantas Airways? This Australian airline is a member of Oneworld alliance and maintains an increasingly rare distance-based award chart. To that end, you may want to build up your stash of Qantas Points, though finding Qantas cards isn’t as intuitive as you may think.

Let’s take a look at six different cards that earn these points, including the best Qantas Points travel cards.

» Learn more: The guide to Qantas Frequent Flyer

Top Qantas credit cards

Although Qantas has a number of co-branded credit cards, these are limited to consumers in Australia. You won’t find any Qantas cards within the U.S, but that doesn’t mean earning points is difficult.

Thanks to its strong partnerships with a number of transferable point currencies , Qantas has made it simple to acquire points for reward flights.

These partnerships are especially valuable for those looking to redeem miles for flights with other Oneworld alliance members, such as Alaska Airlines and American Airlines. Both of these airlines lack transfer partnerships with any major card issuer, making their miles more difficult to obtain compared to Qantas Points.

Here are the six best cards for Qantas Points:

1. The Platinum Card® from American Express

Our first pick for earning points is The Platinum Card® from American Express , which is a premium travel credit card with an expensive annual fee to match.

Because of this, cardholders can expect high-end travel benefits such as airport lounge access , hotel elite status and hundreds of dollars in credits each year. This includes a monthly Uber Cash credit, a Walmart Plus membership credit and a $100 Saks 5th Ave credit.

This is in addition to the following welcome offer: Earn 80,000 Membership Rewards® Points after you spend $8,000 on purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership. Terms Apply.

American Express has 20 different hotel and airline partners to which you can transfer your Membership Rewards . This includes Qantas Airways, where you can convert your AmEx points at a 1:1 ratio, meaning one AmEx point becomes one Qantas point.

Qantas Airways charges just 30,200 points for a one-way economy class ticket from Los Angeles to Papeete, French Polynesia. You could earn nearly enough points for a round-trip ticket just by signing up for The Platinum Card® from American Express .

Terms apply.

2. American Express® Gold Card

Another contender from AmEx is the American Express® Gold Card . This mid-tier card earns four points per dollar spent on both U.S. restaurants and supermarkets, making it a very lucrative option for those who spend a lot on food.

Along with these bonus categories, you’ll also receive $10 each month in Uber Cash and $10 per month towards select dining purchases.

The card also comes with the following welcome offer: Earn 60,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $6,000 on eligible purchases with your new Card within the first 6 months of Card Membership. Terms Apply.

As with The Platinum Card® from American Express , you’ll be able to transfer your AmEx points over to Qantas at a 1:1 ratio.

3. Citi Premier® Card

The Citi Premier® Card is a good option for earning Qantas Points, especially with the following signup bonus: Earn 60,000 bonus ThankYou® Points after you spend $4,000 in purchases within the first 3 months of account opening. Plus, for a limited time, earn a total of 10 ThankYou® Points per $1 spend on hotel, car rentals, and attractions (excluding air travel) booked on the Citi Travel℠ portal through June 30, 2024.

Charging a ​​ $95 annual fee, the card doesn’t come with a ton of travel benefits. However, it does earn three points per dollar spent on restaurants, supermarkets, air travel, hotels and gas stations, making Citi ThankYou points easy to accrue.

Among Citi’s 17 hotel, airline and shopping partners is Qantas Airways. Citi points transfer over to Qantas at a 1:1 ratio.

Citi Premier® Card holders receive double the value when they convert their ThankYou points to Choice Privileges points.

4. Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card

The Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card — Capital One’s foray into the luxury card market — charges a $395 annual fee but makes up for it with a whole host of benefits. This includes a $300 annual travel credit, a 10,000-mile anniversary bonus, airport lounge access and a Global Entry/TSA PreCheck credit.

The card is currently featuring the following welcome offer: Earn 75,000 bonus miles when you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening, equal to $750 in travel.

Capital One has 18 different hotel and airline transfer partners, including Qantas Airways. Capital One Miles transfer over to Qantas Points at a 1:1 ratio.

5. Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card

Often referred to as the younger sibling of the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card , the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card offers five miles per dollar spent on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One travel. Otherwise, you’ll earn a flat two miles per dollar spent on every purchase.

The Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card charges a fee of $95 annually and features the following welcome offer: Enjoy a one-time bonus of 75,000 miles once you spend $4,000 on purchases within 3 months from account opening, equal to $750 in travel.

As with the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card , you can transfer miles earned with this card to Qantas Airways at a 1:1 ratio.

6. Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card

Did you think you’d see a hotel credit card on this list? Believe it or not, Marriott Bonvoy points have a wide variety of airline partners to which they can transfer. This includes Qantas Airways.

The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card is another premium travel credit card, offering Marriott elite status, a $300 annual statement credit for spending at eligible restaraunts, airport lounge access and an anniversary free night award to cardholders.

Along with 37 other airlines, Marriott Bonvoy points transfer over to Qantas Airways at a 3:1 ratio, meaning three Marriott points become one Qantas point.

However, Marriott will also throw in a 5,000 mile bonus when you transfer 60,000 points to an airline. This means that if you transfer 60,000 Marriott points you’ll end up with a total of 25,000 airline miles.

If you’re trying to earn Qantas points

Those looking to redeem Qantas points can take advantage of its Oneworld membership to book flights with airlines such as Alaska, American, British Airways and Japan Airlines, making these a valuable and easy-to-use currency.

Although Qantas doesn’t offer any of its own co-branded credit cards within the U.S., that doesn’t mean its points are hard to earn. This is thanks to its variety of transfer partnerships, including American Express, Citi, Capital One and Marriott.

Travel Insurance For Vietnam: Everything You Need To Know

Published: Apr 25, 2024, 12:17am

Table of Contents

Do australians need travel insurance for vietnam, what does travel insurance for vietnam cover, frequently asked questions (faqs).

Vietnam is an increasingly popular travel destination for Australians, with the country even hoping to encourage more Aussies to visit by potentially waiving visa requirements in due time.

The Southeast Asian country is set to be high on the list for Aussies going overseas in 2024. The number of Australian tourists in Vietnam now exceeds pre-pandemic levels: more than 317,000 Australians visited Vietnam in 2019 , while there were 390,000 Aussie visitors in 2023.

Plus, as more and more flights become available, such as low-cost carrier Vietjet Air launching a direct service between Hanoi and Melbourne earlier this year, getting to Vietnam is becoming easier for Australians.

If the direct flights, fascinating history, vast scenery and delicious food aren’t enough to convince Australian travellers, the cost may be. Vietnam is considered one of the cheapest travel destinations in the world for Australian tourists due to our strong conversion rate against the Vietnamese Dong and the nation’s low cost of living in comparison to our own.

And while cheap thrills may be what you’re after on your vacation, it’s important not to skimp on the necessities that may cost that little bit extra—such as travel insurance. This guide outlines what you need to know regarding travel insurance in Vietnam.

Investing in travel insurance is a good idea for any overseas trip. Travel insurance policies can help protect you from having to dive deep into your pockets, with many offering unlimited medical treatment while abroad and cancellation cover for your trip should the unexpected occur.

Travel insurance is not just handy for medical purposes or travel changes, either. Your personal items can be covered, should any baggage go missing or an important item be stolen—which, unfortunately, often occurs in Vietnam.

Smarttraveller warns Australians to be alert at all times in Vietnam, considering petty theft–including bag slashing–is common in tourist areas and crowded places, especially during holiday times. Snatch-and-grab theft by thieves on motorcycles is also common, the website states.

Like most international travel insurance policies, you will be able to find basic coverage for your trip to Vietnam, or choose to opt for a more comprehensive, albeit more expensive, policy.

While a basic policy will often cover medical expenses and lost luggage,a comprehensive policy includes a lot more. Most basic policies also likely won’t offer compensation for travel delays, stolen cash, accidental death and more.

Additionally, if you are going on a trip to multiple countries within the year, it may be worth opting for an ‘annual multi trip’ insurance instead—making sure that there are no exclusions to the regions you are wishing to visit.

Visa Requirements For Australians Travelling to Vietnam

You’ll still be allowed to travel to Vietnam if you don’t invest in travel insurance, but you do so at your own risk—and, as stated, it is highly advised to have a travel insurance policy for any overseas trip.

However, what you cannot do is enter Vietnam as an Australian tourist without a tourist visa. While Vietnam will grant Australian citizens visas on arrival, applying for one online is much easier.

A tourist visa costs under $100 AUD; however the exact price depends on your length of stay.

The Vietnamese government may consider waiving visas for Australian citizens, especially since many other SEA countries have done so such as Indonesia and Thailand .

However, at the time of writing, Forbes Advisor Australia has confirmed that Australian citizens must still obtain a visa to visit Vietnam for tourism purposes.

The exact inclusions of your travel insurance will be dependent on your personal policy and the provider.

However, generally speaking, you can expect a travel insurance policy for Vietnam to offer some level of cover for:

• Medical expenses;
• Lost, damaged or stolen luggage;
• Travel cancellations or delays ;
• Personal liability;
• Credit card fraud;
• Covid-19 expenses;

If you are partaking in certain sports and activities, you will need to make sure that you choose a policy that covers them. You’ll also need to make sure that your policy covers any pre-existing medical conditions as well.

Plus, if you are travelling with valuables, you may wish to opt for a policy that lets you increase the protection cover on your items.

Ultimately, you need to consider what your trip consists of, what you will be taking with you, and your physical health to establish what policies would be appropriate for you.

From there, you can compare quotes of different policies and providers to ensure you have the optimal—yet affordable—cover for your trip to Vietnam.

Does Travel Insurance Cover The Ha-Giang Loop?

Considered one of the most scenic motorcycle routes in the world, the Ha-Giang Loop is a popular tourist activity in Vietnam for adventurous travellers. If the Ha-Giang Loop is one of your goals, you’ll need to make sure you have travel insurance that covers motorcycling.

Occasionally a policy may include this as one of their included ‘sports and activities’, but it is more often the case that you will need to purchase an additional ‘adventure pack’ that is either specific to, or includes, motorsports.

Even so, when purchasing an additional pack to cover motorbikes, you need to be cautious of the conditions. For example, some policies will only cover motorcycle riding if the bike you are riding has an engine under a certain size.

Often, coverage will cease and claims won’t be accepted if you haven’t been wearing the correct safety equipment such as boots and a helmet, or have been under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

What Does Travel Insurance Exclude?

Your travel insurance policy may exclude some activities that you wish to partake in, unless you can opt-in to purchase an additional adventure pack as explained above in regards to motorbike riding.

Just like with the inclusions of a policy, the exclusions depend on what type of policy you choose, and what provider you go with.

Commonly, however, you won’t be covered for instances where you:

• Break the law;
• Are under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
• Partake in an excluded activity;
• Receive medical treatment for a pre-existing condition that was not disclosed;
• Travel to a ‘Do Not Travel’ destination as outlined by Smarttraveller.

As always, it is essential to read the product disclosure statement (PDS) of your travel insurance policy carefully to understand what you will and won’t be covered for while overseas.

Do I need a visa to travel to Vietnam?

Yes, as of April 2024, Australian tourists still need a visa to travel to Vietnam. This visa can be obtained on arrival, or purchased online prior to travel. The visa takes approximately three days to process online, and the cost depends on how long you intend to stay in the country.

Does international travel insurance cover Covid-19?

Many comprehensive travel insurance policies now cover Covid-19, including medical conditions related to Covid-19 or trip cancellations due to a Covid-19 diagnosis. However, it is not guaranteed that all policies will. It’s important to check your policy’s PDS carefully to understand what it will and will not cover in regards to Covid-19 for both you and your travelling companions.

How much does travel insurance cost for Vietnam?

The cost of your travel insurance for a trip to Vietnam will depend on your age, your health, the activities you wish to partake in, and the length of your stay.

For example, for a 34 year old with no pre-existing medical conditions travelling to Vietnam for two weeks, a policy from some of our top choices for comprehensive travel insurance would cost around $130 (based on quotes from Cover-More , 1Cover , and Fast Cover ).

The prices of these quotes would change depending on a chosen excess, cancellation cover, and any additional coverage options you may choose to purchase such as adventure packs or cruise cover.
