Our verdict

Offers up to 100,000 bonus NAB Rewards Points, but you’ll need to keep your card open for more than a year to collect all of them.

The NAB Rewards Platinum card is suited to cardholders who want to get rewarded for their spending and like the flexibility of bank reward points. Right now, you can get 80,000 bonus NAB Rewards Points when you apply and spend at least $1,000 on everyday purchases within the first 60 days from account opening. And another 20,000 points when you keep your card open for over 12 months. If you do collect the maximum 100,000 bonus points, you would have enough points for $480 worth of gift cards. You could also transfer them and get 50,000 Velocity Points, which is enough for a return business class flight from Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast (47,000 points plus fees and taxes).

The NAB Rewards program also offers point transfers Cathay Pacific (Asia Miles), Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer, Air New Zealand Airpoints, Accor Live Limitless and Flybuys. Similar to many other credit card reward programs, you can also get retail items or donate to charitable causes. But, while the discounted $45 annual fee in the first year helps you save in the short-term, keep in mind that you’ll need to pay the ongoing $195 annual fee in the second year before you can collect the last 20,000 bonus points on offer with this card.

Pros

Up to 100,000 bonus points
0% p.a. interest rate on balance transfers for 12 months
Discounted $45 first-year annual fee

Cons

You need to keep the card for at least 12 months to collect all the bonus points, which means you’ll have to pay the second year annual fee
3% international transaction fee
A 3% fee applies for balance transfers

The NAB Rewards Platinum Credit Card offers a 24/7 concierge that can help you save time on travel planning, entertainment bookings, gift purchases and more. When you make purchases with this card, you can also get up to 44 interest-free days on purchases by paying the total amount listed on your statement by the due date. Otherwise, the card's 19.99% p.a. variable purchase rate applies.

Hi,

If i made an online purchase from an international seller (eg: amazon) what would the charges be?

Thank you.

Rench Finder

Hi Wei,

Thanks for your inquiry.

There are no charges if you will be using your NAB Rewards Platinum Card when purchasing through international sellers/online stores, like Amazon. You will be informed by the seller/store if there are any fees that will include in your purchase. It should show the rundown and total of your purchase on the provided online receipt.

Cheers,

Rench

If I get this NAB Platinum card, can I transfer points to Qantas Frequent Flyer points on a 1 for 1 basis?

Jason Finder

May 20, 2017

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your inquiry.

NAB Rewards points are not transferable to Qantas Frequent Flyer program. However, you may redeem them for Air New Zealand’s Airpoints, Asia Miles and Virgin Australia’s Velocity points.

You can redeem either 0.005 Airpoints Dollars or 0.33 Asia Miles or 0.5 Velocity points for every NAB Rewards point, with a minimum transfer amount of 3,000 NAB Rewards points.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Jason
