Our verdict

This low rate card offers up to $350 cashback in the first 7 months, with a $59 annual fee.

The Westpac Low Rate Credit Card currently gives you a way to get more value from your spending as a new cardholder, offering $50 cashback every month when you spend $1,000 for the first 7 statement periods from card approval. That means you can get up to $350 back. While a lot of cashback offers have one spend requirement you need to meet (e.g. $3,000 in the first 3 months), this one technically has 7 – but it does mean you can get some cashback even if you only meet the requirement for a couple of months.

Pros

  • Up to $350 cashback offer
  • Low ongoing 13.74% p.a. purchase rate
  • Free additional cardholder
  • $0 first-year annual fee for existing customers

Cons

  • No rewards program
  • No additional perks like insurance covers or travel benefits

The Westpac Low Rate Credit Card is suited to people who want a low-cost account with simple features. You can pay with it anywhere Mastercard is accepted, and get access to interest-free days for purchases if you pay your balance off in full by the due date on each statement. While it offers up to $350 cashback for new cardholders, keep in mind that it doesn't have an ongoing cashback or rewards program.

How to apply

You can apply for the Westpac Low Rate Credit Card online in 10 minutes and receive a response in 60 seconds. Check that you meet the eligibility criteria and have the necessary information to complete the application first.

Eligibility criteria

  • New cardholder. The cashback offer is only available when you apply for the Westpac Low Rate credit card as a new cardholder before 30 November 2024. So if you currently hold a Westpac credit card or have held one in the past 12 months, you won't be eligible for this offer.
  • Age. You must be at least 18 years of age to apply.

Card benefits

  • Up to $350 cashback. If you apply as a new Westpac credit card customer by 30 November 2024, you'll get $50 cashback each month when you spend $1,000 or more on eligible purchases in the first 7 statement periods from card approval. Eligible spending covers most everyday spending. Transactions that won't count towards the spend requirement include account fees and charges, cash advance transactions, gambling transactions, balance transfers and purchases from or payment to a government or government related agency. The $50 cashback will be credited to your account within 60 days of meeting the minimum spend requirement for that statement period.
  • First-year annual fee waiver for existing customers. If you're already banking with Westpac, you'll get an annual fee waiver in the first year, which reverts to $59 p.a. thereafter.

Rates & fees

  • Annual fee. Outside of any promotions, this card charges a $59 annual fee.
  • Purchase rate. This card charges a variable purchase interest rate of 13.74% p.a.

Hi Sonya,

When you apply for a credit card, a credit enquiry is added to your report and that can affect your credit score. If you’re not sure what employment and supporting documentation will be needed, you could call the provider or check out Finder’s guide to applying for a credit card as a new employee. I hope that helps.
