    If anyone's wondering 80k NAB points = 40K Velocity (2:1) or $400 in gift cards (BP, Bunning's, DJ, Coles etc..)

    • imed on 23/01/2017 - 10:29

      Anyone know if the 40K Velocity points is better value than $400 in gift cards?

      • samsal46 on 23/01/2017 - 10:42
        +1

        its definitely better value to convert to velocity points. the point worth is higher if you are using them to upgrade to business class

        • eecan on 23/01/2017 - 10:52
          +17

          Depends on how much you value business class as well. I would not actually pay for business class so the sticker price of an upgrade doesn't mean as much to me.

        • noone on 23/01/2017 - 11:15
          +1

          are they still worth higher if you're using it just to get an economy flight?

        • MrTweek on 23/01/2017 - 11:38
          +1

          @noone:
          Value for paying flights is more fluctuating because the price for a flight in real money keeps changing, while the price for paying with points is always the same.

          I personally get most value from domestic flights, as the fees are low and availability is usually good enough for me.

          To get an idea (all flights one way, no additional fees):
          MEL-SYD: 11100 points
          MEL-AKL: 28800 points
          MEL-BNE: 15300 points

          +2

          @MrTweek: You should pay the taxes. Whereas airfares are cheap in terms of points, taxes are paid for by converting points to cash at a very poor rate (like 0.6c per point).

        • Peck on 04/02/2017 - 09:35

          @JohnHowardsEyebrows: Absolutely true !!!

      • DingoBilly on 23/01/2017 - 11:39
        +1

        Should be worthwhile. You could sell the points outright for $400 if you change your mind.

        Otherwise 40,000 points should be around 2 return flights, say Melbourne to Brisbane (I think +$50-100) or so which would generally be around $600 at least (- the $50-100, so you're still ahead).

        Could use it for business class upgrade but eh, not worth it imo.

      • Gavman on 23/01/2017 - 11:45

        Yes if u can sell them. There are Ppl pay 1.2c-1.4c per point. $500-600. $400 is a bit low ball

          Default price on ozbargain is 1c/point, not that easy to sell at higher value

        • Tapori on 23/01/2017 - 13:19

        • Gavman on 23/01/2017 - 18:23

          they are cracking down on it now due to "abuse" if you want to risk your points go for it

          would be easier just to book flights after you charge people IMHO

      also curious to know what the rate is for velocity?

      • illumination on 23/01/2017 - 10:09

        Am curious too and it seems you have to login to find out which is why none of us are able to see the conversion =/ lol

        Hopefully it's a competitive 2:1 which would be decent, otherwise I'm expecting 2.5:1 or 3:1.

        • Sunny84 on 23/01/2017 - 10:29
          +5

          I checked with the rewards team and its 2:1 so 40k velocity.

        • theblake on 23/01/2017 - 18:14

          That does not say what the transfer rate is, hence the question.

        • bozbargain on 23/01/2017 - 19:15

          @theblake: I believe the original question to which I responded was if your could transfer the points to any freq flyer programs (at least, that's how I read the question). This whole negging of comments is becoming a bit rediculous on this site. Someone posted a deal, Nab doesn't make it very clear for us so we're alll trying to help each other out. Perhaps I got the question wrong this time but why would you neg a response unless it's an annoying or dumb comment that adds no value to the discussion?

        • theblake on 26/01/2017 - 21:20

    what does the 80,000 points convert to in velocity points?

    • MeesaBuyStuffHere on 23/01/2017 - 10:37

      It's a 2:1 ratio so 80,000 NAB points = 40,000 Velocity points.

    Looks like it's a new credit card.. have never heard of it and pretty sure NAB never had their own Rewards program. They were the only one of the big 4 to not have their own rewards program.

    Probably to do with the RBA decision on interchange fees so this is probably designed to be a replacement card for bank-issued AMEXs.

    • bozbargain on 23/01/2017 - 10:32

      Offer commences 23 January 2017. To be eligible for the 80,000 bonus points offer, you must apply for a new NAB Rewards Platinum Card by 31 May 2017, be approved, and spend $2,500 on everyday purchases within 90 days of opening your account on your NAB Rewards Platinum Card. To be eligible for the 40,000 bonus points offer, you must apply for a new NAB Rewards Classic Card by 31 May 2017, be approved, and spend $1,500 on everyday purchases within 90 days of opening your account on your NAB Rewards Classic Card. Everyday purchases exclude transactions NAB decides are wholly or partly for gambling or gaming purchases. NAB may vary or end this offer. Points will be credited to the qualifying members account within 3 months of meeting the spend criteria. The annual card fee waiver will be applied at time of card opening, and applies for the first 12 months. You will be charged an annual card fee in the 13th month of your card account. Minimum monthly repayments must be made by the due date each month. Offer is not available when closing/transferring from another NAB credit card account or in conjunction with any other NAB credit card offer.

      Looks like as long as you keep your other card active, you would be eligible?

      • Chumpmaster on 23/01/2017 - 12:08

        Applied for a nab promo for a Qantas Card for 60,000 points early last year, still holding on to the card. Does that mean it's 'in conjunction with other nab credit card offers'?

        NAB will charge 3% overseas for for AUD transactions processed by Paypal.com.au if they figure out that the "merchant" is located overseas.

        They dont do this with all relevant transactions, they also miss plenty. Only ones where the merchant name can be clearly assocated with an overseas seller.

      how to spend 2500 in 90 days

      Ring up your health insurer, and ask to pay the next year in advance. That should chew up a fair bit of the $2500.

      As a bonus, as health insurance goes up in April, you'll effectively be paying this year's rates from April through next January.

      It's a pretty awful landing page as with most pages since the NAB rebranding. None of the references (1,2,3 etc) seem to link to anything so very hard to find out the small print.

      I found the transfer rates:

      All three cards earn NAB Rewards points which can be manually converted into frequent flyer points as follows, with a minimum transfer amount of 3,000 NAB Rewards points at a time:

      3 NAB Rewards points = 1.5 Virgin Australia Velocity points
      3 NAB Rewards points = 1.0 Cathay Pacific Asia Miles
      3 NAB Rewards points = $0.015 Air New Zealand Airpoints Dollars
