from Point Hacks · host Point Hacks

  Credit card surcharges are being scrapped in Australia, but what does that mean for frequent flyer points? In this episode, Toby Venus and Wilson McTaggart break down the RBA’s changes to surcharges and interchange fees, why they matter, and how they could affect sign-up bonuses, earn rates, annual fees and travel perks on popular rewards cards. They also look at why business credit cards may hold up better than personal cards, what this could mean for Qantas and Velocity, and how points collectors can adapt. This episode is general information only and is not financial advice. 🎬 Credits: Guest: Wilson McTaggart, Australian Frequent Flyer Produced and hosted by: Tobias Venus Video and audio produced by: TOBY TV PTY LTD | tobytv.com.au 💌 Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest reward seat alerts and holiday inspiration - https://phk.ing/42bnk3b 📰 See the latest Qantas and Velocity Point earning cards - https://phk.ing/4sA89M2 📖 RBA Changes Explained - https://phk.ing/4mD1Buz 🙋Join the discussion on AFF - https://phk.ing/4tJDs7Z ✈️ Follow PointHacks 👇 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@pointhacks LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/pointhacks Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/pointhacksau/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/pointhacks #pointhacks #FrequentFlyer #CreditCardRewards
