Comparing frequent flyer credit cards
There is more to a credit card than the points being offered. Points hackers who are prioritising cards with bulk points on sign up may also want to keep in mind the potential interest rate charges, fees, minimum spending limits and number of interest free days offered by the issuer as well.
These charges, such as annual fees ranging from $500 - $1,200, or minimum spending limits mean that while the bulk bonus points on sign up may be a generous perk, you still are paying for your flights through ongoing costs and spends.
You may also want to compare any complimentary insurances that are offered with said credit cards before you sign on the dotted line. This may include domestic or international travel insurance, medical coverage, rental car insurance and more.
Take note of whether the insurer offers coverage in the event of Covid-related flight or accommodation cancellations as well.
