Learn more about loading your Qantas Pay card
You can load up to 10 foreign currencies onto your prepaid Qantas Pay card. These are: USD, Great British Pound, Euro, Thai Baht, New Zealand Dollar, Singapore Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Emirati Dirham.
You can load all currencies at once or one at a time, depending on the nature of your trip. When you do, you’ll lock in the exchange rate for each of them³ – meaning you’ll always know how much you’re spending.
If you’re travelling to a destination where we don’t offer a locked in rate – such as Indonesia, China or South Africa, you can load and spend Australian dollars. Our daily rate for the currency you’re spending in will apply⁵.
The load limits of a Qantas Pay card as as follows:
The maximum individual amount you can load onto a Qantas Pay card in any 24 hour period is AU$20,000. The maximum amount you can load on a Qantas Pay card using instant load is:
- AU$15,000 in any 24 hour period
- AU$30,000 in any 7-day period
- AU$60,000 in any 30-day period
Yes, you can use your prepaid currency card internationally to make purchases or withdraw money from any ATM/wherever Mastercard is accepted. If you are using your card internationally, you may be asked if you’d like to transact in Australian Dollars or the local currency⁶.
If you have the local currency loaded onto your Qantas Pay card, select to pay in the local currency as the rate is already locked in. If you select to pay in Australian Dollars, or you do not have the local currency loaded onto your card, your currency will be converted for you at the foreign exchange rate for the relevant currency at the time of your transaction⁵.
Qantas Pay also offers 24/7 Mastercard Global Support over the phone, wherever you are in the world to assist you with your enquiries.
