Expert review

With complimentary international travel insurance and no foreign transaction fees, the ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures credit card is designed to be your travel companion. You will earn uncapped ANZ Reward Points when you use the card to make eligible purchases. If you prefer frequent flyer points, you can exchange 2 Reward Points to get 1 Velocity Point. Other options include Air New Zealand Airpoints Dollars, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer miles and Asia Miles.

Changes from 1 December 2020

As of 1 December 2020, the ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures credit card no longer offers a complimentary Virgin Australia flight or complimentary lounge passes. The annual fee cost has also been reduced to $120 (made up of a $65 annual fee and $55 Rewards Program fee). Previously, the annual fee was a combined total of $225.

    I’m just wondering with the ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures card, is the free domestic flight per year based from Jan-Dec, or do you get a free flight after the anniversary of your credit card start date?

      Hi Meghen,

      Thank you for contacting Finder.

      The Complimentary Domestic Flight can be redeemed each year until you cancel your card. The year will begin on the day that your account was open and ends 365 days later. Remember that if were not able to claim your return domestic flight for the year, it will not be carried over for the next year.

      Please do not hesitate to reach out again if you have additional enquiries.

      Cheers,
      Ash

    I am an ANZ Travel Adventures cardholder. I would like to avail of the complimentary annual domestic flight. I’ve had the card for more than a year and in good credit standing. Is the 60 days prior to a return departure domestic travel advance booking a strict rule? This is not practical as these days, people usually book for travel on a short notice. Please advise.

      Hi Elena,

      Thanks for getting in touch!

      Upon checking the terms and conditions of this card, only international travel insurance covers family members (each of the spouse and/or dependants) They must also be travelling with the cardholder for at least fifty per cent (50%) of the period of cover provided to the cardholder for the cardholder’s overseas journey and other rules set by this card.

      As a friendly reminder, check the eligibility requirements of the card before proceeding with your application. Also, read about its features and benefits and see how it fits your financial needs. Additionally, it’s helpful to review the PDS and Terms & Conditions of the card before fully committing to the card. You may also reach out to the bank if you have any clarifications.

      Hope this helps and feel free to reach out to us again for further assistance.

      Best,
      Nikki

    Hi,
    Are there restrictions as to what constitutes an “eligible purchase”? E.g what does and doesn’t count as an eligible purchase on this card?

      Hi Jack,

      Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.

      For your reference on transactions that will not earn Rewards Points from this card or “eligible purchases”, “You will not earn Rewards Points on interest charges, premiums paid for ANZ Credit Card Insurance, government charges, bank fees, payments made to the Australian Taxation Office or other taxation payments or duties, card account adjustments resulting from disputed transactions or otherwise, balance transfers or cash advances (as defined in the ANZ Credit Cards Conditions of Use) or transactions which are identified to ANZ by the relevant merchant or any intermediary financial institution as falling into one of these categories. Bonus Reward Points will not be earned in the Bonus Points Mall on the purchase of gift cards, GST or delivery and shipping charges.”

      I hope this helps.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Jeni

    I have spent more than $250 on my ANZ Travel Rewards card on an international car rental for an upcoming trip.

    My understanding is that this qualifies me for the OS Travel Insurance.

    Will I be covered for the excess payment should I have caused an accident on my trip

      Hi Nicholas,

      Thank you for contacting Finder.

      You may refer to our ANZ complimentary travel insurance review page to know what insurances you’re covered under. Indeed, there is coverage for the rental excess cover which will reimburse you for any excess that you will be paying in case of an accident while on your rental vehicle.

      I hope this helps.

      Please do not hesitate to reach out again if you have additional questions.

      Cheers,
      Ash
