Westpac offers some truly bizarre cards, but this one takes the cake. The Westpac Altitude Platinum Credit Card comes with a sizeable annual fee of $150 and a below interest rate of around 20.24% for both purchases and cash advances. Now typically with “Platinum” versions of cards you expect a higher annual fee that is offset by an increased ability to earn rewards points. In the case of the Westpac Altitude Platinum Credit Card you earn the exact same rate of reward points as the regular Westpac Altitude Credit Card, making the increased annual fee questionable. If you are still interested in applying for this card you can follow the guide we have created below and you will be informed of everything you need to know to keep the application process simple and straightforward.
