I am looking to use the NAB for for next trip too now. I was going to use my Westpac Black but need $500 per person., and looking at the accommodation I am now likely to book gettinga toa $1000 will be hard as the venues either do not want to b piad till we arrive, or will only charge 30-50% up front!
Plan activation Your Plan is activated if: (a) You are a NAB cardholder; and (b) Prior to the commencement of your overseas journey, you have paid a minimum of $500 in pre paid overseas transport costs (including travel by air, rail, road or watercraft); and or accommodation costs; and or organised land tour costs all of which are inclusive of any charges, fees and or taxes (excluding foreign currency and traveller’s cheques) with your NAB Card; and
Not that is is an using for my trip, but I note that the NAB does not require having to have a return tick as an activation. This could be handy for people needing pre-pay tour, cruises etc who have not yet sorted their flights.
