60,000 Bonus Rewards Points - deal or no deal?
“Get thousands of bonus rewards points with our great new credit card” – does this sound familiar? The banks have been using the old bonus points trick to hawk credit cards for years. It’s an enticing offer, but is it a valuable offer?
We’ve put the bonus points into the famous Mozo Rewards Revealer and put an end to the speculation, once and for all.
The table below looks at the true value of bonus points (from a range of cards on the market. Most of the freebies won’t get you to your destination, but if you need to get to Yackandada and own a parachute, you’re in luck!
