Jetstar Platinum Mastercard - Nearly 12 months is up and $149 fee!

For those that got a fee free platinum card for the 1st year, the $149 card fee is about to be charged. Refer to http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/64166

I milked mine for the 30000 free and another 40000 in spend, and off to Hong Kong in April :)

But no need for it now, so just cancelled it.

I rang 1300 150 100, Option 0, and took less than 4 minutes to cancel over the phone

Cheers

  Wouldn't be too difficult to do with a bit of concenrated effort, without necessarily going into debt to do it, given that to be eligible for a platinum card you'd need a substantial income to start with.

  A family of 4 means a cc spend of nearly 75k. We rarely use cash btw, only where we have to

  Nice, will check it out. Currently have the Westpac platinum, while the 3x pts for Amex is great, the $295 fee eats away at rewards. Also finding I am buying travel insurance instead of relying on the free, and there is now a $200 claim fee for purchases insurance so the benefits are reduced.
