Expert review

The humm90 Mastercard offers 3 years interest-free on balance transfers with no balance transfer fee. As an example, if you owed $5,000 on a card with a 19.94% interest rate and moved the balance to this card, you could save $2,069.70 during the introductory period.

You also get different interest-free options depending on how you use this credit card. For everyday purchases, you can get up to 110 days interest-free. This is much longer than the 55 days offered by many other cards but its 23.99% p.a. purchase rate is also significantly higher than most cards on the market. The balance transfer rate that applies after the introductory period is also high, at 25.99% p.a. If you know you'll pay the balance before the due date, this could be a great option. However, if you think you might carry a balance from month to month, you may want to consider a lower rate credit card.

If you're spending more than $250 in one go, the humm90 Mastercard also offers 9-, 12- or 15-month interest-free payment plans that you can request within 30 days of the purchase. Known as humm90WRAPs, these plans are subject to approval and attract an establishment fee of 3% for a 9-month plan, 4% for a 12-month plan and 5% for a 15-month plan. As well as instalment plans, the humm90 Mastercard offers interest-free plans for a range of retail partners including Flight Centre, IKEA and Maven Dental Group. Just be aware that details can also vary depending on the retail partner and an expired promotional rate of 25.99% p.a. applies if you don't meet the repayments – so make sure you go through all the details before signing up.

Two questions, fist I have a zip money account that allows me to control how much I pay within the interest free period, is skye the same? Secondly, I notice the 90 day interest free, but will this be subjected to promotions cause I see others using skye offering longer interest free periods? Is this due to the business that uses skye and what interest free period they want to offer on their goods and serives?

Hi Paul,

Thanks for getting in touch with Finder! Different from another installment service, Skye Mastercard offers interest-free installment plans of 9, 12 and 15 months when you use it for purchases of $250 or more. SkyePlan installment plans are subject to approval and attract a fee that’s calculated based on the total balance you want to pay off in installments.

The 90 days interest-free purchase won’t be subject for promotions. When you make a purchase using the Skye Mastercard, you are given 90 days to pay. At the end of the 90-day period, the standard purchase rate will apply to the balance. Note that you will still need to make minimum payments on your account by the due date listed on each statement.

Hope this was helpful. Don’t hesitate to message us back if you have more questions.

Best,
Nikki

Hi, just some comments not a question on skye mastercard.
I’ve had mine for almost a month.
They charge a fee for making repayments, it was $0.95 on a $99 repayment!

Also Skye were unable to tell me what retailers I can use it at when asked on 2 separate occasions, they just pointed to the website which as far as I can tell does not list any retailers. I joined skye because it is Ikea’s preferred card. Ikea may accept their older interest free provider, HSBC, but ask the checkout supervisor.

Hi Samantha,

Thank you for leaving a question.

Yes you may use the Skye Mastercard as long as the merchant you are transacting with accepts payments through Mastercard. Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Reggie
