Our verdict

Offers up to 180,000 bonus NAB Rewards Points, but you need to keep your card open for more than a year to collect all of them.

The NAB Rewards Travel Credit Card is suited to big spenders and earners, with a high minimum credit limit of $6,000. With the bonus points offer, you'll get 120,000 bonus NAB Rewards Points when you spend at least $5,000 on everyday purchases within the first 90 days from account opening. And another 60,000 points when you keep your card open for over 12 months. If you do collect the maximum 180,000 bonus points, you would have enough points for $500 worth of gift cards. You could also transfer these points and get 60,000 Velocity Points if converted by Velocity members.

It earns 1.5 NAB Rewards Points per $1 on eligible purchases up to $10,000 per month, then 0.5 points per $1 thereafter (uncapped). It also earns 1 point per $1 spent on eligible purchases for groceries, petrol, public transport and travel. Rewards include gift cards, retail items, cash back and point transfers to Velocity Frequent Flyer, Singapore Airlines, Air New Zealand and Flybuys. It also offers perks similar to what you can get with other premium credit cards, including a concierge service and Visa Premium offers. Weighing the value of these features against the card's monthly fee can help you decide if it's right for you.
