28° [Wizard] Mastercard Cash Advances while overseas

[serfty]

The New online service requires you to re-register.

As part of the registration process you have to agree to have online statement, or pay a $0.50 per month fee.

I went no further into the process. (see my 21June post)

Also, just a note for Wizard cc cardholders who have recently elected to use online statements instead of traditional paper statement.

I have realised that the most recent new statement is available online WITHOUT any notification, no email whatsoever, of course no paper statement via snail mail.

I am not sure whether this is their tactic so you will forget about it and therefore they can start charging interest.

Of course I am a 100% transactor, so I am fully aware of this.

I had the same problem. I put in my email address and selected to be notified by email when the statement becomes available. But I received no notice last month. As a result, I almost forgot to pay my bill by the due date. Very annoying. I've now set calendar reminders to make sure I don't miss a payment deadline.

The monthly paper account fee is 50 cents. I chose to continue receiving our two statements by post for now - sorry trees - just in case the email reminders didn't come through.

I'm registered for online statements, but the other day received the statement by paper.. am guessing there may be a little lag in getting it happening.

Has anyone else received a letter from GE offering a credit limit increase?

They tend to do it every year or so. I didn't receive one in the mail this year, but when logged in online was offered another $1,000 to add on to my existing limit.

Tried to log in today to check whether my most recent statement was available as it was due on the 18th July. Could not log in and got the message that this service was unavailable to me. Phoned Wizard and they tell my card isn't even registered for on-line service(had been for 5 months) so they said I may have to re-register. Try to re-register and "service unavailable" This is all when I'm about to load the card into credit, ten days before going O/S.

They have a new web portal. All who wish to use it need to re-register.

See relevant posts on this thread from June 21st (http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/comm...tml#post333629)

Note that if you do register for online services, you either lose the facility of mailed paper statements or agree to pay 50¢ extra each month for the privilege.

Thank you serfty for letting me/us know about this.

You would think the person on the end of the phone, at Wizard, could have told me that rather than just say, "your card isn't registered" as if it's never been registered.

No. I thought GE was being very cautious recently with credit limits and credit limits increases.

I have been trying to increase my credit limit by $500 online and it is never approved as I do not fit their lending criteria.
