Credit Card Offers CommBank Ultimate Awards Card – potentially fee free

[Viridis]

Just from a quick Google search … haven’t done the maths for the others but the Metal Plan is 1:1. But I was referring to the credit card not the debit which may have caused the confusion

The transfer rate to VA is changing from 2:1 to 3:1 on Oct 1, therefore VA will be 0.5 for the first $10k.

So possible all bank to airline transfer rates will reduce. I have around 1m Altitude points I might have to transfer early which I am not keen to do as it will lock me in to an airline I might not want to fly with.

The change is from 2:1 to 2.5:1 for Velocity, and from 2.5:1 to 3:1 for Qantas (via opt in).

I stand very much corrected. That’s good to know as I need to bail on Commbank when their fees kick in. The Revolut Metal cards looks better for less annual fee - although maybe they simply haven’t yet announced their own nerfing.

If you look at the quote in my post you will see that I was referring specifically to the OP's comments regarding the NAB Signature Rewards, not their comment about Combank.

You may be right but the credit cards were only released in Australia in July so I’d like to hope - perhaps naively - that they accommodated the forthcoming changes in their initial release

But that probably is a triumph of hope over experience
