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.
