Downsides to Consider
Existing customers or anyone who had a Bank of Melbourne, St.George or BankSA credit card in the last 24 months are not eligible. Offers are not valid in conjunction with other promotions, and certain types of spend are excluded from the cashback calculation, including gift card purchases and BPAY.
