LaTrobe offers Qantas points bonus


LaTrobe Financial, emulating AustralianSuper, are now offering the incentive of Qantas frequent flyer points for every $1,000 invested.
The similar program launched by Australian was not without controversy over claims it breached anti-hawking provisions.
The LaTrobe offer would only apply to new investments over $10,000 into 12-month term accounts which had a current variable rate of 4.35% p.a. after fees.
