In our monthly Ratehacker round-up, Jeremy Cabral from comparison site finder.com.au highlights the latest credit card deals, plus the best savings accounts and home loans. This month’s deals include Amazon cashback, bonus Qantas points and $75 for opening a new bank account.
Credit Cards
Feature: Amazon cashback
NAB Low Fee Platinum Card: 10% cashback on amazon.com.au purchases for 12 months This card offers 10% off Amazon purchases each month, capped at $25 per month, which is a potential saving of $300 over the year. That more than offsets the $90 annual fee. Interest rate on purchases is 19.74% per annum. To get this offer, you’ll need to apply through finder.com.au before 31 August 2018.
Feature: 0% balance transfer
Westpac Low Rate Credit Card 0% per annum on balance transfers for 24 months: You can transfer up to $25,000 onto this card and then have 24 months to pay off that balance interest-free if you’re approved. There’s a one-time balance transfer fee of 1%, and the revert rate is 19.49% per annum. The annual fee for the card is normally $59, but is waived for the first year.
Feature: Bonus Qantas Points
American Express Westpac Altitude Platinum Bundle: This dual card bundle can earn you up to 90,000 Qantas Points if you meet the spend criteria.
