    I am currently with Air NZ but am wondering if its worth changing to Singapore or Thai. My main goal is lounge access - not too worried about free flights. Is there a clear winner in terms of the quickest way to get there? Thanks.

    Bankwest More World Mastercard

    I just received an invitation to upgrade from platunum mastercard to this. I haven't heard of it before and based on the benefits, it looks like they are trying to compete with the Citibank Signature card (which I have). Does anyone know much about this? Given I already have priority pass...
