You’ll also earn 1 point per $1 spent on all other eligible purchases.
The NAB Rewards program also offers a wide range of ways to use points. As well as merchandise, gift cards and experiences, you can redeem points for travel rewards directly through Webjet, or transfer them to your Velocity, Asia Miles or Air New Zealand Airpoints frequent flyer account.

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

Are the bonus reward points transferable to Qantas and if so, how many QF points will the amount to? You mention one One World carrier, Cathay, but not Qantas.
Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your question.
Then bonus points are not transferable to Qantas frequent flyer because it’s not among NAB’s airline partner programs. You can, however, redeem points for travel rewards directly through Webjet, or transfer a minimum of 30,000 points to your Velocity, Asia Miles or Airpoints frequent flyer account.
If you’re interested in Qantas frequent flyer credit cards with bonus points, you can check our comparison on this page.
I hope this has helped.

Hi
I am a customer of NAB. I don’t currently have a NAB credit card, however, I did have one just over a year ago which I canceled. If I apply for this credit card will I still be eligible for the bonus points and for the first years fee to be waived?
Hi Andrew,
Thank you for reaching out.
Actually, this offer is not available when closing/transferring from another NAB credit card account or in conjunction with any other NAB offer. I suggest that you contact NAB directly to enquire whether your application will be considered as new credit card application or not. You can contact them on 13 22 65.
Meanwhile, you may want to check other credit cards with no annual fee and with rewards on this page.
