Things you should know
1. Eligible purchases do not include interest, fees and charges, cash or ATM cash advances, cash equivalent transactions, gambling transactions, a purchase from or payment to a local, state or federal government or government related agency, BPAY or similar transactions (such as Post Billpay), refunds and balance transfers debited to the card account.
2. These earn rates will replace the earn rates that currently apply with particular purchase types or merchants, including any existing Points earn caps in place.
3. If you choose to make any payment in any category using an intermediary service (such as Afterpay, PayPal or similar services), these transactions will be categorised as 'all other purchases’ as per the table above. We classify transactions using information provided to us by the card scheme (Visa or Mastercard), which tells us about the main type of business conducted by the Merchant.
