Hi,
for no annual fee credit card, there is $15 card replacement fee within Australia, does it mean card holder pay fee every time card replaced when expired?
Thanks
Hi Fred,
Thanks for your question.
The $15 card replacement fee is applicable when your card is lost in Australia. There will be no fee when your card is replaced or renewed due to account/card expiration.
Cheers,
May
What does it mean when a card has 0 days interest free?
Hi Sara. Thanks for your question. This means that you will get charged interest from the day you make a purchase on the card. Other cards have up to 55 days interest free, and some cards have an extended interest free period when you first activate the card. Jacob.
