What’s the best credit card for travelling?

Whether you want to earn and use rewards points, minimise fees or make sure you have access to insurance, there’s a wide range of credit cards available to suit you.

Travel with points credit cards

Credit cards that let you earn points on your everyday purchases are a great option for travelling. While NAB doesn’t offer specific travel rewards credit cards, we do have several rewards cards like NAB Rewards and Qantas Rewards that allow you to earn and redeem points for a variety of rewards, including travel. With travel rewards cards you could enjoy great deals on domestic and international flights, selected accommodation and even holiday packages.

Travel with a no-interest credit card

Travelling with a credit card that charges no interest could save you money when it comes to paying off your overseas purchases after you’ve returned home.

Travel with a debit card

A debit card is another option for managing your spending while you travel. With a debit card, you’re spending your own money, which can help you stick to your travel budget.  

The NAB Platinum Visa Debit card is a good alternative to a travel money card.
