Coles M/Card sign on bonus 20K - targeted? New Cards only

[get me outta here]

I just put the first $10 on it today ... it's a tester.

Has anyone got their 20k bonus points yet ?

does this card still have price/shopper protection for 24 months? I can't find the info from the coles site.
This makes it better than the 28 degrees card. Just want to make sure it has price protection
[h=3]No international transaction fees on purchases[/h]That’s right! No transaction fees on international purchases made with your Coles Rewards MasterCard. That makes the Coles Rewards MasterCard perfect for everyone who likes to shop online, and also a great way to save on fees while travelling overseas.

Haven't got my points yet. If it replaces the 28D, it may be useful when travelling.

Yeah, I've got a leisure trip to the states in June actually... hmm.

So I take it the bank fees vs the points earned make it better to use a no fee card?

nope sorry, i was hoping someone would tell me if it still had price protection.

While it seems as though there is no international transaction fee, they may still make a money by giving you a bad conversion rate.

If you do call and ask please do let me know if they still have price protection

Without knowing the details, I don't think you should take anything for granted with cards. It's best in my experience to send an email from your cc account and get answers in writing.

A big negative is that this card, like the 28D cannot accept emails.

So, as far as I'm concerned, roll on the sign on points and then the axe.

I have just received my 20,000 points after the first spend on 30 March. Now I have enough for a 'local' 'EY flight.

I have been advised that I cannot get out of paying the $89 pa fee due in Oct. They are adamant that there are no incentives to keep it except to go back to the free card of 1FB per $2 spend.

On the $89 card it pays 2FB per $1. No point in keeping the freebie except that there's no forex, not sure of the xe rate though.
