      This product charges a mega amount of interest. Even if you pay off the designated amount each month there is always some fee that applies. I find this product too expensive for the awards offered. Even the awards are not that special. Some are in the form of products and they are already superceeded in the market place by others yet the points asked do not reflect this. Overall I find this credit card less than what I need or want.

      This card has not cost me one cent and has very helpful customer service. When I was worried about internet web site direct debiting they helped me and reassured me. I had a fee waived once when I made a late payment. I will never change this bank and I'm 100% happy with them. I hang up the phone with a smile.

When somebody got my credit card details and maxed out my credit card $3000, the staff at Westpac were so wonderful in helping me and going through all the process in detail with me so that i could understand.

We had our local bank manager ring us personally to tell us the progress of our credit card application... just the application progress!!!! And then personal calls to notify us it was approved.

      I would tell my friends and family that if they want this type of credit card, it is great if you pay it off before the due date and not paid interest. If this is done, the only down fall is the $25.00 annual fee, which is still very reasonal and great value if you pay your purchases off before the due date.

      Pros: Fantastic intro interest rate on purchases AND balance transfers. Cons: Once that honeymoon period is over, the rates almost triple! Their yearly fee is really high & they calculate their interest in the strangest way I've ever seen or heard of in my life so the only way it WON'T cost you money to have this card....

      Interest rates go down, but c/cards don't? Banks make billions and want to make more each year... shareholders want profits... They could pass on some of the profits back to customers who give them the profits in the first place. The pros are 55 days interest free, so it's good if you can pay it back by then.

      I've never had problems with this product. It's a Visa card, which is recognised pretty well everywhere, I get versatile reward points, which I have put to good use. The yearly fee may be a little higher than other similar products, but I have the card swept every month and don't pay interest. I like being with a big bank, because they are more advanced technoligically and it's been easier to operate on my cards overseas and I find the bank operates very efficiently when I ring them.

      I find that having a Gold Master Card is very convenient. I do not have to carry as much cash around with me. I always pay my Master Card on time so I do not have to worry about what rate the interest is set at. As far as fees go, I put enough transactions on my card so that I do not have to pay an annual fee, which is a saving. There is one aspect of the Master Card that I am totally against and that is the fact that transactions under a certain figure do not have to have a signature or have the pin number entered. I think that this is very insecure and am very unhappy about it.
