Does the Bankwest world MasterCard still have loungekey access?

Hi Jennifer,


Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.


This card doesn’t have LoungeKey access but the Bankwest More World Mastercard has. With the Bankwest More World Mastercard, you may enjoy 10 complimentary airport lounge visits each calendar year.


You may have lounge access if you are a Qantas Club member. As a Qantas Club member, you need to book a Qantas (QF) flight number to access Qantas and partner lounges when traveling in the Economy on their partner airlines including Emirates.


I hope this helps.


Thank you and have a wonderful day!


Cheers,

Jeni

Hi Catherine,


Thanks fo your inquiry. I’m afraid that Bankwest has not disclosed their income requirements for this card, though you can contact the bank to confirm. Please note though that banks vary in terms of setting their eligibility requirements depending on the type of credit card.

Hi Kate, thanks for your inquiry!


Unfortunately since this program is an invite-only the criteria which Bankwest undertake to select members has not been disclosed. It would be best to contact Bankwest directly in regards to this inquiry and make a formal request to join this program.


I hope this helps.


Cheers,


Jonathan
