Apparently the Ultimate card is now fee free with the Wealth Package. Discovered when I was looking around in Netbank to lock the card before cancelling it and found had secretly been added as an account to the WPackage on 13-Jul-2023.
The email today about Ultimate card also doesn't communicate this change. Called CBA and spoke to 4 people who didn't know/couldn't confirm anything/conflicting information, such as one person said "oh that was just changed this week" to another "Ultimate has always been listed as fee free on Wealth Package". OK, why weren't customers advised of changes to the WPackage product which you are obliged to do? "Ummm, changes are advised on statements" - but I've checked those and nothing about the card being fee free with WPackage and, er, you don't get a 'statement' with the WPackage. Useless.
Anyway, with a bit of digging and raising two complaints (one that you did not advise customers of changes to their products, another that it cost me an annual fee on opening another credit card to replace Ultimate because such changes were not published or communicated to customers) I found out that
(a) yes they did change the WPackage effective 14 July so the Ultimate is an included benefit (because before then only annual fee CCs were included);
(b) now that the bank had attached the card to my WPackage last week without notice I won't shoudn't be charged the fee at the end of this month if spend not met
