Hi Mathew,
Thank you for your comment.
You need to quote your ABN or ACN of your company during your application, so you can only use the card if you have one of these.
As a business card, the Gold card comes with a higher annual fee and rates than a personal credit card. Business credit cards can also only be used for business-related purchases and transactions.
You would need to discuss the possibility of using a Westpac Altitude Business Gold credit card with your managers and employers before applying for the card.
I hope this has helped.
Thanks,
Sally

Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your comment.
No, you can only get one additional cardholder with either of those cards.
I hope this has helped.
Thanks,

I took out a Westpac Gold card many many years ago. Somewhere in the fine print at the time, it said that if a certain amount was spent per month,( and I mean around $17000) the annual fee of $150 would be deducted. I remember reading this, but can no longer find the paperwork. If you can find this detail, I will be totally grateful.
