      Hi Denise,

      Thanks for your inquiry,

      Unfortunately there is no rewards program compatible with the Victoria Teachers Visa Credit Card at the moment. For a list of rewards cards please refer to this page.

      I hope this helps!

      Cheers,

      Jonathan

      Hi Lucy,

      Thanks for your question!

      The $500 amount is the lowest credit card limit that you can request. It is possible to apply for a higher credit card limit but not a lower one than this figure.

      I hope this has helped!

      Cheers,

      Jonathan
