Suncorp Credit card

Suncorp offers a range of credit cards to its customers, including low rate, low fee, rewards, and balance transfer cards. The specific features and benefits of each card vary, so it’s important to compare the options and choose the one that best meets your needs and financial situation.

Some of the benefits of Suncorp credit cards may include low interest rates, no annual fees, rewards programs, and the ability to earn points on everyday purchases.

As a leading provider of insurance, banking, superannuation and investments, Suncorp can draw on a vast amount of experience to bring you the financial products and services to suit you.

Gold Incentives & Platinum Perks

As we know, Suncorp’s rewards cards are available in gleaming gold and pretty platinum. What does that mean? Gold and platinum benefits, of course.

Credit cards have long featured a tiered system. This allows card providers to offer tiered benefits to cardholders – and to charge accordingly. Gold cards tend to offer more features than standard cards, and will usually charge more in annual fees. Platinum cards offer even more features than gold cards, and tend to charge higher annual fees again.

It’s also worth noting annual income requirements here. Gold and platinum cards often have higher minimum income requirements and maximum credit limits, making them somewhat of a status symbol. In Suncorp’s case though, income requirements are actually pretty low. For the standard card, the minimal annual income requirement is $25,000, for the gold card it’s $30,000, and for the platinum card it’s $35,000.

Aside from status, gold and platinum cards are all about those features and extras. By paying more for your card, you can expect more in return. So, what does Suncorp have to offer in the way of features?

The Gold Card

Putting its rewards program to the side, the Suncorp Gold Card offers a few nifty features. As a cardholder, you can benefit from purchase cover and guaranteed pricing. You can also enjoy free membership to Suncorp Bank Rewards Program, and up to 55 days interest free on purchases.

The Platinum Card

Again, the rewards program is the drawcard on this one. It allows cardholders to earn at a higher rate, but it also offers an opt-in to Suncorp Qantas Frequent Flyer for $49 per year. With this, cardholders can earn Qantas points at a rate of 0.5 points per $1 spent.

Aside from that though, there are some nice platinum perks on offer. First there are the complimentary insurances. These include international travel insurance, transit accident insurance, guaranteed pricing, extended warranty and purchase cover. Cardholders can also benefit from a personal concierge service, and special offers and exclusive discounts on entertainment, sport and travel.

Big Business

Suncorp knows credit card spending isn’t always personal. Credit cards can also come in handy with business spending. Which is where the Suncorp Clear Options Business Credit Card comes in. Helping to ease business cashflow, this business card could be a great asset to a business.

With a low annual fee, this card allows business users to track their spending, while also benefitting from up to 55 days interest free on purchases. There is also an optional rewards program that allows cardholders to choose their membership level.

Looking to add more cardholders to the account? You can issue additional cards to employees, each with a set monthly limit. Each cardholder then receives an individual statement, helping to keep track of company spending and expenses.
