Everyday Money Credit Card Fees - just so you know

9How many points do you need to earn to get a shopping voucher from Everyday Money Credit card? You will need 3,448 points to receive our minimum shopping card value of $20. 

172 points = $1 shopping credit = 0.58% return on spending.

As there are many of us who have the Everyday Money credit card, it pays to know how much you are going to be charged for different things. As mentioned in the earlier post, this may even affect the decision as to which credit card you use for what transaction.

Since it is nigh impossible to find the terms and conditions for some credit cards, I've reproduced the fees and charges that EverydayMoney charges for various fees for your convenience. This is only current as of 8/10/09. This information came from https://creditcard.everydaymoney.com.au/pdf/FeesAndCharges.pdf
