2. You must register each flight at least 6 hours before your flight. A flight is defined as a single scheduled airline flight under a single flight number. Delay must be officially announced by the airline and reported to our flight status data service provider. Flight Delay Pass is only available at selected airport terminals. If you are under 18 years old, you must be accompanied by an adult (18 years of age and older) to enter participating lounges.

4. Individual terms and conditions (T&Cs) apply to each offer. The T&Cs of each offer are specified on http://mtr.mastercardservices.com/en/i/20657. Cashback is available on international spend only. Cashback is not available for any local or domestic spend (in Australia). Cashback applies to qualifying transactions only (where a cardholder makes a purchase that meets the cashback offers published criteria and the specific T&Cs, in the local currency stipulated). Cashback is not processed immediately and will not reduce the purchase price of goods and services at the point of sale. The processing of cashback offers is undertaken by automated Mastercard systems and will appear as a credit on your next Westpac card statement. Mastercard Travel Rewards is operated by Mastercard in agreement with Westpac. For the Worldwide Wallet, the cashback processed will depend on the currencies available on your card and the location of your purchase. Examples of how a rebate may be processed are: If the destination currency is listed as a currency into which you can load funds onto your Card, the rebate will be credited as a single amount to the destination currency regardless of whether you have any funds available in that currency; or If the destination currency is not listed as a currency into which you can load funds onto your Card, the rebate will be credited to the local currency in the country in which your Prepaid Card was issued, i.e. AUD.
