Best card for international use
I wanted a credit card that would not charge me a fee on transactions processed overseas (most credit cards apply a 2.5-3% foreign exchange fee, even if the overseas merchant bills the card in AU$. This card has no annual fee and no foreign exchange fee, plus the benefit of complimentary overseas travel insurance. Their call centre is great to deal with, and is located in Australia, with staff that speak clear fluent English. No issues when using several times on a recent trip to Japan and Hong Kong.

Is this card better than GE Money 28 Degree Mastercard which also offers Zero international transaction fee and Mastercard exchange rates?

Bankwest customer service/call centre is in Australia, and are easier to deal with than 28 degrees call centre in India. Travel insurance is complimentary too, unlike the 28 degrees card where you have to pay extra for this benefit.
