Changes to NAB Rewards Signature card: No forex fees + earn rate changes

The change to the higher monthly fee has now come into effect

Such a shame.. what are you guys looking at as an alt for the FX free card?

I noticed that you didn't get an answer to this question so I'm wondering if you found a suitable alternative?

I've kept my card open until now as I was due another 50,000 points on the one-year anniversary of opening the account in June '24 (the change to a monthly fee rather than the annual fee worked in my favour in this regard as I only had to pay two monthly fees after the increase).

So now I'm not only looking for a new points-earning card without FX fees (even though I don't have any o/s travel planned), I also have to decide where to transfer my NAB points balance to: in the past my first preference would have been Kris but the transfer rate isn't great and the 3-year expiry is an issue when I don't have anything planned. I could go to Velocity then Kris for a slightly worse result (967 Kris miles for each 3.000 NAB versus 1,000 going direct) but will the Velocity:Kris transfers be enhanced?

I could transfer to CX, again resulting in 1,000 miles, but that means having another miles balance with a different program; but at least they no longer have a hard expiry.

A few decisions to be made; thanks NAB.
