Flight churn value

NAB Rewards Platinum Card

Churn value: $224 in flights.

You pay $195 in first-year fees.Spend $3,000 in 90 days.You get 27,916 Krisflyer points, worth about $419 in flights.

The recorded minimum requirements are that you can take a credit limit of at least $3,000. Meeting them does not guarantee approval.

It is only worth it if you pay in full each month and close the card before the next $195 fee.

What is churn value?

This page is my best effort to summarise the card's terms from the information I found. Read the bank's terms for full details, or contact the bank if you have questions.

I'd like to use my bonus for:

Can I get this?

This offer is advertised to the public. Bonus conditions and the bank’s approval requirements still apply.

Can I get this bonus if I have held a card before?

Bonus points are not available to customers who currently hold, or have held, any personal NAB Rewards Credit Card in the last 24 months. The wait is 24 months, from the last date you held one of these cards. If you hold one now, you cannot get this bonus.

See the waiting rules for every Australian bank →

What must I spend?

$3,000 within 90 days — about $1,000 per month.

Can I get the card?

The minimum credit limit is $3,000. This is the least the bank may let you borrow.

I do not have a minimum income for this card.

Meeting the bonus rules does not mean the bank will approve your application. The bank must assess and approve the card separately.

How long is this available?

I do not have an end date for this offer.

What do I do, step by step?

  1. Apply. Check the income and waiting rules in “Can I get this?” first. If you do not pass those, the bonus does not come.
  2. Spend $3,000 in 90 days on bills and shopping you had to pay anyway. Do not buy extra things just to hit the number.
  3. Pay in full each month. Interest can eat the whole bonus. The churn value at the top assumes you never pay interest.
  4. Use the points for flights. Points you never use are worth zero.
  5. Close the card before the next fee — keeping it costs $195 a year. The next section helps you decide if keeping it is worth it.

When this is not worth it

  • You pay interest, or you cannot pay in full each month.
  • You buy things you do not need to hit the spend target.
  • You have no trip or use in mind for the points.
  • You keep the card into year two out of habit and pay the fee again.

Should I keep it after the first year?

Keeping the card costs $195 each year ($195 annual fee) — the first year was $195.

The year-two bonus is 20,000 NAB points.

Ongoing earn: 1.25x NAB points per $1.

Keeping pays off only if you meet the second-year conditions and use the points and benefits enough to cover $195/yr.
