    The basics

    • Additional cardholders. You can add an additional cardholder at no cost, sharing it with family.
    • Digital wallets. This card works with Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay.
    • Gambling transactions. Goulburn Murray Credit Union charges the cash advance rate and fee on gambling transactions.

    Rewards and benefits

    • Complimentary travel insurance. The Goulburn Murray Credit Union AMIGO Credit Card does not come with complimentary international travel insurance.
    • Concierge services. A concierge service, which can be helpful with a range of organisational tasks, is not available. This is to be expected of a basic-level card such as this one.
    • Insurances. This card does not offer any insurance benefits. Again, this is typical of a card like this.
    • Rewards points. This credit card does not have a rewards program.
    • Sign up bonus. No rewards program means there is no sign up bonus either.

    Rates and fees

    • Annual fee. The ongoing annual fee for this card is $49 p.a. Many other low rate cards charge a similar annual fee too.
    • Balance transfers. The Goulburn Murray Credit Union AMIGO Credit Card offers 6 months at 5.49% p.a. on balances transferred from non-Goulburn cards. After the promotional period, any remaining balance will revert to 12% p.a. Although the introductory offer is not interest-free, there is no balance transfer fee. Balance transfers from personal loans are not accepted.
    • Cash advances. All cash advances will be charged interest at 12% p.a. from the transaction date. Transactions classified as cash advances may incur a one-off fee in addition to the interest rate. This rate is competitive since many cards have a much higher rate on cash advances in comparison.
    • Foreign exchange fee. All transactions made in a foreign currency overseas or online will incur a 3% fee, which is around average.
    • Interest-free period. The Goulburn Murray Credit Union AMIGO Credit Card offers up to 55 days interest-free on purchases, provided you have paid off your previous balance or made the minimum required payments.
    • Purchases. With no introductory offer on purchases, all purchases made with this card will attract interest at the ongoing rate of 12% p.a. This is not the absolute lowest ongoing rate, but it is competitively low.
