Expert review

The NAB Rewards Platinum card is suited to cardholders who want to reward their spending but prefer the flexibility of bank reward points. You can use your points to book travel through Webjet, purchase products from the NAB Rewards store or exchange for partnered frequent flyer points with Virgin Australia’s Velocity, Cathay Pacific’s Asia Miles, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer or Air New Zealand's Airpoints Dollars.

You can transfer a minimum of 3,000 NAB Rewards Points for 1,500 Velocity Points, 1,000 KrisFlyer Miles, 1,000 Asia Miles or 15 Air New Zealand Airpoints Dollars. As an example, you could exchange 60,000 NAB Rewards Points for 30,000 Velocity Points. As KrisFlyer, Asia Miles and Air New Zealand Airpoints aren’t directly linked with any Australian rewards credit card, this could be a good option if you belong to one of these programs.

Many Australian card issuers offer their own rewards programs linked with frequent flyer partners, so make sure to compare your options before you apply.

Hi Ben!

Please refer to the Overview of Travel and Medical Insurance Cover by NAB Rewards Card:

You may access the benefit of this Overseas travel and medical insurance cover:
1. if you meet the eligibility criteria; and
2. the loss or damage occurs during the period of cover.

Eligibility criteria

1. You were ninety (90) years of age or under before the date of departure for your trip; and
2. You (or the accompanying NAB Cardholder) had purchased on a NAB card a minimum of $500* (inclusive of taxes and other charges) of pre-booked transport costs (airfares and/or cruise) and/or land content (tours, hire cars or other hired transport and accommodation) prior to the commencement of the trip. The purchase must be debited to a NAB Card prior to your departure from Australia. The purchase must also have been transacted in one of the following ways: – If using your NAB Credit Card – purchases using your credit card facility directly charged by the merchant or using the linked PayPal account; or – If using your NAB Gold Visa Debit Card – purchases using your debit card either by using the physical card or by providing the debit card number when paying for your purchases or using linked PayPal account.

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?

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
