Hi all,
I am very new to this whole credit card points scheme. So I apologise in advance if this is the wrong place to be asking this or if it's been asked a million times before. Been doing a lot of reading on here and other similar forums. Have recently got a few cards for my wife and I including the Amex velocity platinum, ANZ black and NAB velocity premium.
Anyway my question right now is that I need to spend $1500 on my NAB card and I have rates due of approx $1600. Was hoping to knock this card over with 1 transaction. Just wondering if these will be counted as government charges and therefore not get the bonus points? they use bpoint as the payment portal and charge a .5% credit card fee (Amex not accepted).
I called NAB anonymously and asked but the lady couldn't confirm exactly if they would count as government charges, she was erring on the side of they would though and thus wouldn't be valid for bonus points.
If they aren't going to count I will find another way to meet the spend. Just works nice and easily if it will actually work. And I can't afford to wait too long to see if the points get counted as a regular spend as I kind of need the 60,000 velocity points to be in my account by May for some J flights I want to book. So the sooner I make the spend the better.
cheers,
David
