sapnak on RBA to Ban Visa, Mastercard and eftpos Debit, Prepaid and Credit Card Surcharges from 01/10/2026

Whinge posts are certainly increasing well above the rate of inflation.
Correct.
Time will tell. Have nab kept the standout features of the Citi products it has already transitioned to the new platform? No. So my money…
It's free for the life of the product, not free for the life of the consumer. And the product is able to be killed.
Thank you, President Trump, for being a beacon of morality and virtue.
Amex US has better transfer partners and transfer rates than Amex AU.

babipanggang on 20,000 Bonus Points or Double Earn Rate for 6 Month (60,000 Capped) with Signup of Select Credit Cards @ Velocity Frequent Flyer

Mild October on 20,000 Bonus Points or Double Earn Rate for 6 Month (60,000 Capped) with Signup of Select Credit Cards @ Velocity Frequent Flyer
