Bank rewards points rarely transfer to frequent flyer points at a 1:1 rate, but their flexibility is handy for anyone seeking out reward seats. Here’s how to work out the best bank rewards program for you.

There’s now a way you can earn Star Alliance Gold by spending on an Australian credit card. Earning points in overseas programs like Air Canada Aeroplan and United MileagePlus also just got easier.

HSBC Rewards Plus is your ticket to earning Velocity Points on eligible HSBC credit card spends. But the options get even greater for top-tier Premier cardholders, with Cathay and KrisFlyer added to the mix.

HSBC Platinum Qantas earn decent Qantas Points on eligible spend up to $120,000 per 12 month period and comes with a $399 p.a. ongoing annual fee.
