New Westpac Lite credit card with no forex fees

[Mattg]

Westpac has launched a "Lite Card" with a $9 monthly fee ($108 per year) and 0% foreign transaction fee. Has a low interest rate and $1,000 minimum credit limit, but doesn't earn any points.

Westpac Lite Card

Our Lite card has a low interest rate on purchases, up to 45 days interest-free and no fees on foreign transactions.

Interesting. Banks are really adopting this subscription model to lessen the pain of an AF. Between this and Smart Awards, is there any reason this card would be better for anyone who can naturally spend more than 2K?

This card doesn't seem to have any options for the card fee to be waived and no TI?

I can’t see anything about some of the other Mastercard perks eg Flexiroam comp eSIM and discounts nor Flight Delay Pass* available with the free 28° MC.

*although this appears to be broken at the moment.

28 degree adds lounges ["LoungeKey" if 2 Hour delay]

Has anyone tried to use the Latitude Flight Delay Pass feature recently? I plug my card number in and it tells to poke off. Well, specifically “Please check that you have entered an eligible Mastercard card number.”. Which I have (multiple times)...
