NAB Qantas credit cards

[flymehome]

Have been lurking in the forums for some time. Have just discovered the new NAB gold and platinum cards in response to the suggestion that QF is moving toward direct sweep cards only.

As a new member I'm unable to post the link, but you should be able to find it based on a search for 'platinum' or 'qantas' on the nab website.

There are easy ways to get a cheap deal with NAB. e.g. those with a choice package don't pay the normal CC fees, just the annual choice package fee.

what's this choice package - they didn't tell me abt it b4.
What fees and benefits?

A Choice package is available if you have a mortgage with NAB. So it's not something that you can just go and get.

The annual package fee is $375, but the benefits are multiple. Basically, most of the "normal" fees are waived - no atm fees, no CC annual fees, no monthly account fees, no loan application fee etc.

About the next best option for those without the required borrowing is probably the Gold Banking, which seems to offer many, but not all, of the same fee waivers as a choice package. In particular I think gold banking has to pay for CCs. It's $12 per month or $5000 deposit.

I can't wait... It's coming out on 29 Oct...
Currently using Ant Gold but will change to the platinum once it's out!!!

Although I'm not a big fan with QFF points.... but the concierge service is worth the bucks!!! It's the same concierge service (SOS) with Amex Plat Charge.... :-)

Can't wait to call and let them do every boring thing for me !!!

How do you know it's the same conceirge service.

And having used the Amex one - the only boring thing is always having to call them to correct things, and to chase them up, and so on. Vastly overrated IMHO

My of my friend who worked in AMEX Plat. told me. (The information should be correct for the past 2-3 years) Unless they changed the company recently, otherwise, it should be SOS International.

Also I don't mind to call up to correct / chase up as long as their wait time is short ... It may not be the best but at least my life will be easier than otherwise.

2 weeks to go!

My NAB Gold rewards card has just turned into a NAB Qantas gold AMEX and Visa ( as if by magic). The AMEX card offers 1000 points for making 3 purchases within 30 days of receiving the card and also entry into a draw for 500,000 points.
