A quick note that the Bendigo Ready Credit Card also has a good travel insurance option where you don’t need to pay the whole cost of your travel on the card to activate the travel insurance, just a portion. So, if you have already bought your overseas tickets, and don’t want to pay extra for travel insurance, you might still be able to claim using this card – read the PDS to see the rules. It is also one of the only cards that still has rental car excess reduction on it – so I book all my rental cars through this card
Which cards are best for 2 card holders (husband & wife)?
Hi Saija,
Most credit cards in Australia allow you to share your account with someone by getting an additional card for them that’s linked to your account. A few credit cards also offer joint accounts, where both people share legal responsibility for the credit card account. You can learn more and compare different options in Finder’s guide to joint credit cards. I hope that helps.
Hi Valerie,
Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.
As of this writing, there are some credit cards offering travel insurance for over 65. NAB covers up to 90 years old while Virgin Money, HSBC, and Citi did not include the traveler’s age limit so long that there’s no pre-existing medical condition.
It is recommended that you contact your chosen provider on this matter for further clarification. Once you have decided which credit card to apply with, please make sure though to read the eligibility criteria, features, and details of the card, as well as the relevant PDS/ T&Cs of the card before making a decision and consider whether the product is right for you.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Jeni
What is Travelex card like?
If I have a 28 degrees Mastercard, does it mean when I withdraw cash from an overseas ATM that there will not be a withdrawal fee?
Thanks for your help in clarifying my query.
Hi Bebe, thanks for your inquiry!
The 28 Degrees MasterCard provides no international transaction fees on purchases, which only covers currency conversion rate charges. Overseas ATM withdrawals may still incur a charge, depending on the local ATM’s withdrawal policies and fees.
Cheers,
Jonathan
