      60,000 Velocity points nearly get you a business class one way to asia (Melbourne-Singapore-Bangkok for 71,000) but $550 no way get you near that.

        Why would I want to fly business class to asia, when you can get a one pay ticket to those places for $150-200 pretty often.

        Unless you flying on the company dime, paying more for business class is just odd

          People on ozbargain have this odd thing that you get such great value using points for business class because it's a $2000 flight for less points.

          In reality it's just throwing away money you could use at the destination instead if you can put up with economy which really isn't that bad.

            @DingoBilly: Throwing away money? Absolute nonsense. It's just personal preference, like many things. I've flown cheap seats far more than anything else and given the choice i'd use points for business if the opportunity arose. For anyone remotely tall or has difficulty resting/sleeping on flights, it makes a big difference. If you dont care for it thats cool, its not for you. But in no way does it mean its not good value for those that do.

          • Whiplash on 24/02/2024 - 02:30

            @DingoBilly: Sometimes you're just too (profanity) exhausted and just want a nice flight back home. Eco out, biz home.

      • Utsav23 on 15/03/2024 - 11:19

        I applied this card, met spend requirements. Redeemed gift cards n closed the card yesterday. However, noticed this morning that an annual fee of 95$ annual fee charged on a closed account. Can I still say I can't pay the annual fee?

        • Jimothy Wongingtons on 15/03/2024 - 11:48

          Can I still say I can't pay the annual fee?

          what makes you think you are exempt from paying the 95 annual fee that you agreed to..?

          I think of all the replies I read (prob a good 100-150+ across a few of these threads) , there was only 1 or 2 people that got lucky and didnt pay.

          • Utsav23 on 15/03/2024 - 12:52

            @Jimothy Wongingtons: Right. In such a case, I will call them and request not to cancel the card. Don't know they will accept this way.

    • gardezee on 25/02/2024 - 15:44

      I'm a little confused by this. Would I not get NAB points if I don't have velocity number added to my account?

    Don't forget to opt in to the Velocity 30k bonus points offer on top.

    I don't like this new trend of charging $95 for Velocity opt in (hence they are giving 30k points for the $95).

    FWIW - I went with the Westpac Altitude card with no annual fee whatsoever in the first year… 90k altitude points, converts to 45k velocity points.

    • desibaba on 23/02/2024 - 14:49

      Don't think this card is eligible for the 30k bonus points from velocity. Only cards from Amex, Westpac, BOQ and Virgin is the list.

        Ah you're right… well, that's probably why NAB share valuations are tipped to fall 10% at least (they don't have any decent products). Following CBA's lead.

        Fun Fact - I called CBA and asked why I was paying an annual wealth package fee when they have nothing to offer for it (insurance is too expensive, the credit cards are uncompetitive, only 3 offsets (Suncorp/ MQG has 10)..and their rate is less. He agreed and refunded the annual fee.

        If you are with CBA..call/ make a complaint. Get your $350 back.

        • boq on 28/03/2024 - 11:07

          How? I get 10 offsets on the wealth package and they argue the interest rate is discounted for being in this package? It's $395 for me annually.

          https://www.commbank.com.au/home-loans/wealth-package.html

          • tunzafun001 on 28/03/2024 - 12:50

            @boq: Just have facts to prove the rate is rubbish on the wealth package…
            Ie. I compared to TMB, Com First, Easy Street - 100% offset on variable AND fixed loans, 0.4% better rate, insurance quote was $200. I pointed out a call to these places was answered in 8 minutes. After 8 minutes…I was still on the press 3, press 5 crap with CBA.

            So the CBA $395 is a scam.
            He agreed and refunded the fee .

            Didn't know about the more than 3 offsets now…cheers for this. But I'm looking to leave CBA asap anyway.

    • VQLD on 08/04/2024 - 13:50

      apparently, there are no no annual fee Westpac cards anymore…

      • tunzafun001 on 08/04/2024 - 15:46

        Always a free first year card with Westpac, as long as you have had a card with them before (login remains forever even after closing the card), or have a savings etc account with them…or change the last few letters of the sign up URL to match the members link (which is how I originally got it free).

      I've had about 10 ANZ cards over the years and on most occasions the application process have been one of the most seamless. The last ANZ card I got was even approved immediately 5 seconds after I hit submit (not conditionally approved, completely approved, "card is on its way"). Very very easy. Card is now already closed, was open for 3 weeks.

        I assume you're paid into an ANZ account?

        I've seen ANZ and Westpac both auto-approve credit card applications where salary is credited to the respective accounts and has been for a reasonable amount of time (both examples are at least 12 months of salary, but I assume the threshold is more like 3 or 6 months).

      Might be a reduced fee there for being an existing customer.

      I closed my card a couple of years ago..BUT…my old login still worked, and I applied as an existing customer.

      If not, when I wasn't a customer at all, I did my first application using someone elses (a customers) URL link (It just had a few extra promo letters on the end). Worked perfect and I got the discount.

      • SenorQuack on 23/02/2024 - 19:19

        There is. $49 reduced annual fee for existing customers. In fact, they waived mine completely. Not sure how that happened, but my card paperwork only says $75 Velocity fee, and $0 annual fee first year.

        • denserham on 23/02/2024 - 23:02

        So they apply interest even if you pay prior to the monthly due date? I thought interest only applied if payments were late?
        "4 Interest free days on purchases
        You will be able to receive interest free days on purchases, if you pay your account in full, or if your statement displays an interest free days payment, that amount in full, by the due date each month."

          +5

          You will be able to receive interest free days on purchases, if you pay your account in full

          You spend $1000, then you have up to 55 days of interest free days to pay it off fully. If you don't, then whatever you don't pay is no longer interest free.
          E.g. $1000 spend, pay $100 on the first bill, then you owe $900 which will start accumulating interest.
          If you pay off all $1000 on the first bill, then you will never be charged interest for that purchase. This is how to ensure you never pay interest but still get all the perks of a credit card.

    Note NAB and ANZ don't accept Airbnb income unless it's managed by a property manager. Very annoying to get refused despite a 200k tax return for the last 5 years. They also don't accept any income support ie being on tac work cover etc despite an acceptance of said covers of X amount till X year.

                      @[Deactivated]: The payslips were requested immediately after my application. I uploaded them and that was it.

                        @Heybargain: I did the same too. Still no formal approval. Maybe I have 2 CCs plus a mortgage. Let's see whether they are approving.

                        • Heybargain on 29/02/2024 - 14:12

                          @Utsav23: Maybe. But I have a couple more CC's than you + mortgage too. Otherwise call them to follow up.

                            @Heybargain: All good now. Approved. Took 3 days for me to finalize this outcome. Is there any way to add this CC to Google Wallet before receiving the card?
                            Edit: Found a way to add. Done :)

    if i have a NAB credit card in my name and the wife is just a card holder, could she open her own CC account and get the points?

      Yes.

    I have applied and was conditionally approved. However on the applications page it says 'You have actions on the next page to complete your application', but when I click through it says my identity is verified. Do I just need to wait?

      you almost always need to supply income verification

    I assume you need the physical card before you can use it (unlike the Westpac cards which allow you to add to Google Pay and use it immediately?)

    Also any idea if 60,000 velocity points be enough for return economy to South East Asia?

    Cheers

      You can add it to Google Pay and use it immediately.
