Changes to Westpac credit cards from 1 Oct 2026

This is only going to continue.

Several businesses I deal with have said they will increase prices to call customers, as they can't surcharge for credit cards.

All while we earn less points

Thanks RBA

Hopefully there will be competition amongst businesses so you can avoid those that jack up prices unreasonably

Happy to see Westpac is waiving the next annual fee for my Qantas black card (but not the separate $155 QF fee).

“To support you with these changes, your next annual card fee charged on or after 30 September 2026 will be waived; however, your Altitude Qantas Rewards Fee will still apply. We'll take care of this for you. No action is required.”

Can anyone please tell me if the bonus Qantas point on Qantas products (Altitude Qantas Black) is gone too in these changes? It's mentioned on the Westpac site for the card, but not mentioned in the changes that it exists or is changing.
