Hi, I recently opened a Platinum dual credit card with NAB, and on the finder website, it said there is a 50,000 Qantas bonus points if you spend $2,500 within first 3 months. The bank doesn’t seem to know about this and I cannot now find this on the finder website. Can you please elaborate?
Thank you

Thanks for reaching out to us.
You might be referring to NAB Rewards Platinum Card where you can get 50,000 bonus points in the first 60 days when you meet the spend requirements. Plus earn at least 2 points per $1 spent in the first 6 months (capped at 10,000 per month). You can check this by going to this page.
You may avail this by clicking the ‘Go to site’ from our finder page then it will direct you to NAB official site to submit an online application.

Hello,
I will be travelling to the U.S next month and have a Cash Passport card, but would also like to use my NAB Mastercard (low fee card) overseas. If I put my NAB Mastercard in “cash positive” credit so i’m using my own money like a debit card, will that be better than putting all my money on the Cash Passport card which doesn’t seem to offer a very good daily exchange rate?
Thanks for any advice you can offer
Hi Craig,
Thank you for your question.
As a comparative service, we can’t actually recommend any one specific product, service or strategy to our users as the best option will always depend on your individual financial situation and needs.
You may like to consider and compare the currency conversion fees, overseas ATM withdrawal fees and other foreign transaction fees that come with using both cards to decide which one compliments your holiday spending habits better. When using the Cash Passport, your funds will remain locked into the exchange rate that was in place at the time of loading.
I hope this has helped answer your question.
Thanks,
Sally
