Yes NAB sent me a letter which opened with “AS WE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE YOUR BANKING EXPERIENCE” you will not be able to earn frequent flyer points on your NAB Platinum credit card when you use B PAY. I tried three times to get a NAB bank person to explain to me how my banking experience with NAB was being improved with the loss of the capacity of my card to earn frequent flyer points. You guessed it, just a lot of polly gobble. The letter is clearly misleading. But then we must remember that “NAB IS MORE THAN MONEY”, they tell us often enough.
Unfortunately those who push for a cashless society have no plan B for when the digital system goes down, as it does and will continue to do so, as man made it and man will continue to break into it causing mayhem as history has repeatably shown us. Before long I expect a major digital crash will occur for long enough to cause a lot of pain for individuals and business. My advice. Don’t abandon your access to your personal cash reserves. You are going to need it.
