    Westpac reducing card earn rate from 1 July 2017

    MarkBy MarkMay 1, 2017No Comments2 Mins Read

    Westpac has announced its changes to earn rates from 1 July 2017. Unlike ANZ, Westpac have elected to keep the American Express companion cards, although the earnings potential of the card is reducing somewhat.

    Westpac Changes

    Generally, the changes being made are

    • Reduction in earn rate for some American Express cards
    • Removal of earn when spending at the ATO for several cards
    • Removal of additional points for international spend

    The exact changes that you will face depend on the cards that you hold. Some of the changes affect some cards in the Westpac portfolio and not others.
