    Am I reading this correctly that you don't need to buy the tickets with the 28 degrees?

    I was about to close my 28 degrees but this could be a nice complimentary card to go with my bankwest platinum with free travel insurance.

    Wait nevermind

    It says

    and available to customers who have purchased their air-ticket using a valid, participating Mastercard card.

    So in other words this card is still terrible, better to use bankwest platinum.

    • tobinm on 30/10/2018 - 18:21

      I seriously doubt they are going to validate this. There are a large number of partners that grant access to these airport lounges, and it says the passes will automatically be e-mailed if your flight is delayed. The lounge isn't going to check for my Mastercard and then cross-check with my airline booking (and especially not via a travel agent) that I booked with the card.

      I just registered my flight details and there was no special notice about this rule.

      • worthy1 on 30/10/2018 - 19:00

        I don't see how

        What exactly is the point of this card? There are better alternatives.

        That is unless you use the shopper protection or free wifi.

        • illumination on 30/10/2018 - 21:53

          What exactly is the point of this card? There are better alternatives.

          I agree. And it's basically what you said - the shopper's protection one is a pretty big perk. Wouldn't call this a "terrible" card though.

          The Coles Mastercard is a free alternative for shopper's protection, but then that doesn't waive forex fees unless you pay the $99 annual fee. Then you could say, that's fine - get the Bankwest Zero Platinum as your travel card, keep the free Coles Mastercard as your price protection card (great combo) - but then that's two credit enquiries, two cards, two lots of credit limits, and two statements.

          • samfisher5986 on 30/10/2018 - 22:41

            @illumination: You need two cards anyway if you want the free travel insurance.

            Shoppers protection also only works if you cheat and pay it off before the bill comes, i'm surprised you can still do that.

              Shoppers protection also only works if you cheat and pay it off before the bill comes,

              That really depends on how much the price drops. The 1% fee for a $1,200 phone is $12, so if you miss one billing cycle that's $12.

              But in 6 months time the phone might have dropped to $1,000. You'll still get $200-12 = $188 back. I would definitely consider that 'working'. :)

              True - forgot that part.

              Shoppers protection also only works if you cheat and pay it off before the bill comes

              Still "works" without "cheating" (as eug pointed out) - just costs a little bit.

          Serious question: what's wrong with this card for international transactions and what's so good about Bankwest Zero Platinum?

          Is there no catch with the Bankwest card?

          I'm feeling a little Rip Van Winkle-ish here - what did I miss??

            @SlickMick: 28 degrees has fees for bpay, and does not offer free travel insurance.

            Bankwest Platinum has no fees for bpay, travel insurance, and the same no fees deal as 28 degrees.

            No other catches.

            • SlickMick on 31/10/2018 - 12:59

              @samfisher5986: hmmm I never use my international card for travel anyway - I get rewards points as well as travel insurance.

              This might be handy for domestic travel in a foreign country I guess… prob not worth changing over for though.

              nobody pays 28 degrees with bpay surely??

            @SlickMick: I use the 28 degrees card for foreign transactions all the time no issues. I pay it off via direct debit from my Westpac account and have never been charged any fees, get a much better rate if I payed through my bank or let Paypal do the conversion.

            The only thing I miss out on from that Bankwest card is the travel insurance.

            • eug on 31/10/2018 - 12:31

              @Vool: Do free credit card travel insurance policies give the same kind of coverage as e.g. TID?

                @eug: that's a good question… I travel in fear that I'm going to run into trouble if I ever need to claim… would love to get some assurance here :)

                @eug: In terms of the important things like medical, they appear to be the same.

                However for example, I recently lost/had my wallet stolen in Croatia that had cash in it, and the free travel insurance provided by credit card has fine print that excludes cash from being covered. The standalone policies normally cover for cash up to $500-$1000.

                The excess is normally higher too on credit card travel insurance - $250 or $500 compared to $100 if you buy a standalone policy.

    • lostn on 31/10/2018 - 16:04

      Well guess you have to choose between free travel insurance or flight delay pass. Travel insurance is better.

    • brownbag on 01/11/2018 - 09:01

      As asked them and they responded that it didn't matter whether you used the 28 degree card or not.
      They said, "It is available irrespective how you paid for it".

      They don't even know their own terms and conditions.

      • samfisher5986 on 01/11/2018 - 10:46

        Thats good to hear.

        I guess I'm keeping my 28 degrees card.

        • brownbag on 01/11/2018 - 10:47

          It is good to hear but what do you trust. The official terms and conditions or an email that they send in response to a question? I'm certainly not sure.

          • samfisher5986 on 01/11/2018 - 10:50

            @brownbag: I guess something important to consider is that you can register any flight you want, but when it comes time to claim, will they reject it somehow?

            I got the feeling it was a near automated system but its hard to know.

      This service actual works on a number of Mastercards

      Works with: Qantas Cash, Cash Passport, 28 Degrees Card, Bankwest Mastercard World, CBA Diamond Awards Mastercard, Coles No Annual Fee Mastercard Platinum, Coles Prepaid Reloadable Platinum MasterCard, ANZ Platinum MasterCard

    • illumination on 30/10/2018 - 18:12
      +15

      Really? I'd actually say the opposite.

      They haven't gotten much worse, but a couple of things have happened:

      • Other alternatives have come up (Bankwest Platinum Zero, ANZ Travel Adventures, Coles Mastercard, a whole bunch of debit cards which waive international fees)
      • They introduced a fee for paying with BPay
      • Implementation of ATM withdrawal fee, even if your account was in surplus (but I argue this was never a key selling point)

      And then nothing new was introduced.. until the last year:

      • Boingo WiFi tie up
      • Mostly positive adjustments to Price Protection (12 months vs 6 months, higher per item claim limit)
      • This Flight Delay pass.. But I feel this came up before? or was that for all Mastercards? In which case, it shouldn't be considered a 28 Degrees specific perk

      So I would actually say over the last 5 years, they've gotten a little worse by virtue of there being other viable options/competitors and the introduction of the BPay fee. But they're kinda picking up again, a little bit.

    Australia is fairly unique in that we don’t really have any reciprocal or casual pay to enter lounges.

    The only participating lounge I can find is the Rex lounge in Melbourne.

    Doesn’t surprise me at all that 28 Degrees would push out a promotion without even looking at the detail themselves.

    • eug on 30/10/2018 - 18:32

      Doesn’t surprise me at all that 28 Degrees would push out a promotion without even looking at the detail themselves.

      Is there a minimum spend with these?

      Terminal 2 (Domestic - Virgin/Tiger/Jetstar Rex) - Rex Lounge

      Would it be practical to take the shuttle bus from T1 to T2 if your international flight is delayed?

        If you have already gone through immigration I don't think you would be able to?

    I can honestly say I have never before seen something that (almost) makes me want a delayed flight.
