^#Minimum purchase and/or minimum payment amounts may be required, see offers for details. $55 Establishment Fee applies to your first Long Term Finance (LTF) transaction, $35 Advance Fee applies to subsequent LTF transactions.

^^Q PLAN is a Fixed Instalment option available for selection for 30 days from date of eligible transaction. Under a Q PLAN, you can convert Standard Purchases with $250 or more outstanding (including under a Q Promotion) and repay in equal monthly Instalments at a fixed interest rate of 12.5% (9 months), 13% (12 months) or 13.5% (15 months) (“Q PLAN Interest Rate” (“Q PLAN Term”)). Instalments calculated by taking Purchase amount that is the subject of the Q PLAN, together with interest calculated at the applicable Q PLAN Interest Rate and dividing that amount over the Q PLAN Term. Minimum Payment due will increase as Instalment is added to Minimum Payment due each month. By converting, you waive any Payment Holiday/interest free period applying to your purchase (including under a Q Promotion). This may mean the amount of interest you pay under a Q PLAN is greater than if you had not converted. Long Term Finance transactions, Cash Advances & Balance Transfers are excluded from conversion. Transactions converted to a Q PLAN cannot make up 80% or more of your available credit limit. If you fail to pay all or part of an Instalment, that amount will be overdue and will become part of the Closing Balance of your Account and interest will be calculated and debited to your Account on that overdue amount at the Standard Interest Rate applying to your Account (currently 28.50%). Click here to see the full Q PLAN Terms and Conditions.
