Currency conversion tips

Our currency conversion tool helps you keep up-to-date with exchange rates. We also offer limited-time currency discounts from time to time - so keep an eye on your email.

When spending in a currency that is not loaded - or is insufficiently loaded - on your card, no international transaction fee or currency conversion fees will be charged, and the currency will convert at the Qantas Pay Daily Rate.⁵

Learn more about currency calculator

A currency converter is an online tool that can help you work out the value of your Australian currency in the foreign currency you need. It uses the market rates to calculate what Australian Dollars you’ll be spending, in whatever country you’re spending it in.

Foreign currency is calculated with exchange rates. An exchange rate is how much it costs to exchange one currency for another. These fluctuate all the time as they are traded on the foreign exchange market. The exchange rate is based on the market price of a currency at that time e.g. USD$1 could be worth AU$1.5.

When you make a transfer or check the exchange rate given on your Qantas Pay card, the rate will be different to the market rate and will show you how much you will get if you transfer onto your card³.
