Although it doesn't charge interest, you still need to make minimum repayments for each statement period. The amount you need to pay is 2% of your closing balance or a minimum of $25, and will be listed on each statement.

Hi Bruce,
In answer to your questions:
1. For a card that offers broad lounge access, Priority Pass is probably the go. However, the cards that offer Priority Pass benefits have quite high fees – it might be cheaper to just join PP directly (view prices here).
2. Most credit cards and debit cards will incur foreign transaction fees of 3-4%, plus whatever fees the ATM charges. You can view debit cards with no foreign transaction fees here.
3. The same applies with foreign hotels – fees of 3-4% are standard. You can view credit cards with 0% foreign transaction fees here.
Hope this helps!

if i use the card and pay off the enite balance within the statement period, do i incur the monthly fee?

Hi AJ,
Yes, the monthly fee would still apply if you used the card for spending. Here are the terms and conditions on the CommBank website:
“If you don’t have any processed transactions in a given statement period and pay your previous statement closing balance in full by the due date, you won’t be charged a monthly fee for that statement period. We may process transactions later than the day you originally made them. This is when your transaction is no longer a pending transaction and has been fully processed by us.”
If you want a card that doesn’t charge a fee when you use it, you could compare no annual fee credit cards to find one with an ongoing $0 annual fee. I hope this helps.

Hi Saroj,
You will receive a statement from CommBank every month, which will outline the statement balance and due date for payment.
If you have online banking, you will be able to see the statement there, otherwise they may be posted to you.
Hope this helps!

I am waiting for my Permanent Residency to go through. I am traveling to the US and want to have a credit card. Can you help me?

Hi Constance,
You don’t need to be a permanent resident to apply for the Neo card. You just have to have the legal right to work in Australia, and you’ll need to provide your visa details to CommBank when you apply. You can also compare other credit cards available to temporary residents on Finder.

Hi Amy,
My wife and I are traveling to UK and Europe in 5 weeks time and will be in a lot of airports with some long layovers between flights, so i have 3 questions? What travelcard or some sort of card we can get now that gives you free use of airport lounges ( like in the old days ). Also to use in ATM’s to get out our own cash money we have deposited, without all the fees ,and to book on credit hotels and things over the internet. is their such a card , just a lounge free access would be great on those big stops.
regards
Bruce
