    Best Rewards for $1000 a Month?

    Hi guys. We're wondering if we would benefit from a card that offers rewards. Our monthly spend would be a little over $1000 per month. Rewards cards tend to have annual fees so thought some gurus here might help. Thanx for looking.

    28° Mastercard Cash Advances while overseas [No more free cash advances from 1/1/14]

    GE Money manage the Wizard card. When I wanted to increase the, uselessly low, limit on my, new, Coles Myer Source Mastercard I tried using the online application. Declined. So, I rang their support & got someone in India. They probably just used the same method as their online form to...

    Is My Credit Rating Checked For a Credit Limit Increase Offer?

    My old Westpac Holden card had a few credit increases over the years which never appeared on Baycorp. Westpac manage the Virgin card so I doubt that they'd check.

    asked for another year free?

    Would it be best to negotiate against an annual fee before it is charged? When I cancelled my Holden card I told them if they didn't charge me an annual fee I wouldn't cancel. They weren't interested. They offered me another Westpac card. I asked if they had any with an interest free period...

    Interest Free Transfers From CC in Another Name?

    Hi guys. I've been working hard to pay off my credit card debt. I got a Virgin card with 6 months interest free & I've reduced my debt from over $10,000 to almost $6,000. Trouble is my interest free period will expire in a couple weeks. After getting involved in a bad business deal I fear...

    For those who are interested I rang the Source Mastercard people & got an Indian call centre & tried to apply for a credit limit increase. I was denied. (I'd also tried the automated online credit limit online & was denied.) I explained the situation & they sent me a generic form to fill out...

    BP Mastercard

    When I saw the ad for this on TV I thought it looked like a handy card to have. I think the $80 annual fee is a bit steep considering there is no mention of interest free days. I wonder if the rebate they give is deducted before calculating your next rebate & therefore making the next rebate...

    CC best suited for foreign currency transactions?

    Serfty, thanx 4 your welcome. Thanks to everyone for your replies. I'm wondering, can the Wizard credit card be used at ANY Australian ATM for fee-free cash advances? Or does it have to be used at a particular bank's ATM? EDIT: I confused fee-free with interest free. :(

    CC best suited for foreign currency transactions?

    I'm looking for a credit card with interest free days & no annual fee. I only want to use it for eBay & PayPal transactions. I was looking at the Wizard website after I read Mahtoh's suggestion.
