Changes to your Airpoints™ credit and debit card rewards.
On 1 February 2023, we made changes to our credit and debit card rewards.
What changed?
New legislation requires that we reduce some of the fees we charge retailers and other businesses for accepting credit and debit card payments. These fees help to pay for your Westpac Airpoints credit and debit card rewards which is why we changed how you earn Airpoints Dollarsᵀᴹ.
