Types of credit cards from Latitude Financial Services
Latitude Financial Services offers a number of no annual fee credit cards, some with special promotions and some that reward your spending with points. Latitude Financial Services also offer a credit card with extended interest-free terms and rewards credit cards. You can compare credit cards from Latitude Financial Services by the card type below.
No annual fee credit cards
Pay your balance in full when your statement arrives and a no annual fee credit card could cost you nothing to own and use. If you don't use your card often, a card with no annual fee could help cut your card costs when you're not using it. Some no annual fee cards come with rewards point, international fee waivers and complimentary insurance, so look out for these extra features to get more value from your card.
Interest-free credit cards
Cut down your interest costs with cards with 0% on purchases for a promotional period or products that offer up to 55 interest-free days when you pay your balance in full.
Rewards credit cards
Latitude Finance offers three different credit cards that let you earn reward points as you spend. Depending on the card, you can either earn flybuys points or MYER one Shopping Credits on eligible purchases. If you're a regular spender who usually pays their balance in full, reward points are an easy way to get more value from your card. As all of these cards come with annual fees, make sure that the dollar value of the rewards you earn exceed the cost of the card to ensure it's really rewarding you.

Like to know whether if I purchased air-ticket using my GE Coles MasterCard, would it already covered the travel insurance so I do not have to buy again.
Appreciate if you could kindly answer this.
Thanks and regards,
