Expert review

The NAB Rewards Signature credit card is the bank's top-tier rewards product. It has the largest bonus points offer and most competitive earn rate in the NAB Rewards range, which comes at the cost of a $295 annual fee.

To give you an idea of the points potential, you could redeem 120,000 NAB Rewards points for 60,000 Velocity Points or over $600 in Coles gift cards (115,390 points). If you prefer Qantas Points, you could consider the NAB Qantas Rewards Signature credit card.

Eligible balance transfer. If you elect to transfer a balance, you can transfer up to 90% of your credit limit from Australian-issued, non-NAB cards.

Card benefits

Bonus Rewards Points. You can give your points balance a boost of 90,000 bonus NAB Rewards Points when you spend $3,000 on everyday purchases within 60 days of opening the account. These points will be credited to your account within 3 months of meeting the spend. The other 30,000 bonus points will be credited in the 13th month when you've kept your account open. There's no specified expiry date for this offer, but NAB may vary or end it at any time.
Rewards program. The NAB Rewards program offers a wide range of rewards including travel with Webjet, merchandise, cashback and frequent flyer points with Velocity, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer, Asia Miles and Air New Zealand Airpoints. You'll earn 1.25 points per $1 spent on everyday purchases, double points on purchases made with partner merchants and triple points for eligible spending with Webjet, when you're overseas or when you make overseas purchases online. You won't earn points on transactions including cash advances, interest charges and other bank fees, government transactions, balance transfers and gambling.

Complimentary travel insurance. Enjoy comprehensive overseas travel and medical insurance when you pay for at least $500 of your pre-booked travel with your card. The NAB Rewards Signature also offers you transport accident insurance, interstate flight insurance and domestic hotel burglary cover. The complimentary insurances are issued by Allianz.
Complimentary purchase insurances. Eligible purchases made with the NAB Rewards Platinum Card are covered by purchase protection insurance against theft, loss or damage for up to 3 months, extended warranty insurance for up to 12 months and price protection insurance to help you get the lowest price for your purchases.
Concierge service. Take advantage of your 24/7 concierge service for help with travel recommendations, bookings and a wide range of other lifestyle services. This service is provided by Visa Worldwide.
Balance transfer offer. The NAB Rewards Signature offers 0% p.a. for 6 months, with a one-time 2% balance transfer fee. At the end of the introductory period, any debt remaining from the transfer will attract the variable cash advance interest rate, currently 21.74% p.a., and you must still make minimum repayments.
