Hi all,
I've been with commonwealth for nearly 30 years but need some advice please.
I see commonwealth offer a 'no international transaction fee' on purchases.
My other comm bank credit card I purchased some tickets for the LA 28 olympic games and have just seen the int fee for that was nearly $400, the other int fee also for tickets was jus under $300.
I'm going to make 1 last purchase of tickets in the next week which again will come to around $400 as an int transaction fee.
By next year 2027, we'll start booking our accommodation, cars and whatever else for the states. Only recently did I go through my comm bank credit card statements from the last U.S holiday we did in 2024 and saw that I got completely stung for int transaction fees.
Comm banks Ultimate Awards credit card is what I'm looking into.
For anyone that has it, is the $35 monthly fee charged if you don't spend the minimum $9000 per month?
Is the award points 3 to every dollar spend on int transaction fees?
Can I convert the comm bank award points to velocity? I have 150,000 in my Smart awards comm bank credit card, is there a way to just change the card and offer but keep the same credit card numbers? I currently pay $8 per month for that card.
Lastly, there is an offer of 60,000 award points if I spend $9000 in the first 90 days on eligible purchases, is that any purchases?
Sorry for all the questions
