What does finance serve charge mean on my statement I paid my card earlier and paid more than they asked please help
I paid in 3 months in advance when I went on holiday and was charged late fees, they treat it as a credit card ! I paid it out, $8.90 per moth fees and be careful they change due date on statement not in line with your contract ?
Just got approved. If I buy say $3000 of items from Harvey Norman, on 50 months interest free, do I pay $3000 decided by 50 months equal amounts and a once off $25 fee and then the $5 monthly fee on top of my equal payments??? Is that all I pay?? As long as I do that before end of 50 months
Yes if the offer is for 50 months equal payments but the monthly fee is currently $5.95 . . . . beware they do like to increase fees etc from time to time and your Rewards points get devalued along th...
Read moree way as they hike the redemption points required massively from time to time. Make sure payments are up to date to avoid nasty interest applied, they do show on monthly Statement in red 'Total due' and also in red 'Payment to reduce future interest:' if you're using the card for other purchases adding up, that bit is handy to know. Customer service is pretty good so ask any questions you may have.They treat it like a credit card, be very careful I just paid it out, customer service is appalling !

I can't do it anymore. I used my GoMastercard too many times at different stores and the interest has gotten to be too much. I'll never be able to pay it off. I've really been trying! Up to $300 per month and I keep getting $90 fees for nothing! How the hell can they expect me to pay all that? I've paid FAR more than the original price for my TV and PC. I'm glad I have them but it's like this is a scam. So, I'm just wondering: what happens if I stop paying it? Will my TV and PC get repossessed or something? Will it permanently ruin my credit? At this point, I'm willing to say screw my good credibility. This just isn't worth it. So can someone tell me: should I just stop? Will they take my PC and TV if I do? What will happen? Can I stop?!
You must keeping paying it- or you will default and your credit will be affected. Call them and try work something out if you’re struggling. Worth a shot :)
Hi I just increased my credit limit but the cash limit didn’t change. Does this normally take a few days?
I bought a drone (March 2018) and a dryer (Dec 2018) from Harvey Norman using 50 months interest free via Go Mastercard. I noticed that when you avail of the interest free, you pay more than the advertised amount of the product ( for example, if you look in the Harvey Norman website, a DJI Mavic Air fly more combo costs $1397. If you buy 50 months int. free, it costs $1694.50 over 50 months because they said they incorporated the $5.95 monthly fee). So you pay $33.89/month. The same thing with my dryer, they incorporated another $5.95/month in the cost of purchase. I also noticed that in my bill, I'm also charged a $5.95 account fee AND a $0.95 payment fee each month. So this means, each month, I get charged $18.8 (5.95 x 3 + 0.95). Is this the same for everyone else?
Hi Francis, I have a debt of $9000 with Gomastercard. It will cost me almost $9200 to pay them out in one hit. Every payment I do is at the post office which costs me $2.50 and a $5.95 for acc service...
Read more fee. On their website look under Rates & Fees to get a good handle on the extra chargers. Otherwise ring and ask them for an explanation.
Why would you ask the question here the logical thing to do would be to contact Go mastercard

How can I answer my own question.? I want to know how I go to page 2 on my statements
It isnt a charity mate, understand that you are borrowing money and it can’t be totally interest free. They have to get something out of it as well, it’s a business at the end of the day. I reckon you...
Read more can take advantage of it if you are going to purchase say house furnishings for example worth $10k..in 50months they’ll earn $300 (5.95 per month fee) for the 10k you borrowed that’s an absolute bargain rather than doing a personal loan with 12% interest annually..How do I go to page 2 on my mastercard statement?
Hi Ruth
On an iPad this can be a bit tricky. You need to open/download the statement to open it.

Hi, I decreased my credit limit last April 2018 & was told I can't increase the limit again until a year has passed. It's now mid May 2022 & I still can't increase the limit & nobody has an answer?.
Please advise when I can.
Thanks, Sonya
Hi Sonya,
As part of new federal lending criteria this is a safety feature to make sure people can pay their credit cards back on time....
Read more If your credit card has no outstanding balancing id recommend you simply apply for another credit card through a different provider. It’s easier and far quicker.Hi Sonya
Increasing credit limit totally depends on credit rating
If some one told you can increase after a year it's just a estimation but not exactly right ...
We can perches Harvey Norman only
I only got the go Mastercard for my interest free stuff at Harvey Norman and on my app it is coming up as a purchase and not an interest free! What do I do? Please help I’m freaking out!
I went to use it on the app last week at Harvey Norman. Fortunately, the sales person knew that if I used the app the Go MC would be used like a master card, not the interest free version. So the an...
Read moreswer for me was, don't use the app for interest free purchases. You need to use the physical card. I also found they can do it using a drivers licence if you don't have the Go card with you. :)
hi there, how can i close my Go mastercard account?
It's made difficult on purpose - that's why it's not listed anywhere.
Call 1300 462 273 and ask to speak to accounts to close it - please leave minimum 1 hour to complete this process as you'll be tr...
Read moreansferred several times, you'll be waiting a while to talk to someone who will then be an expert at trying to convince you to keep the card.
What are "Billed finance charges" they change every month. Its a recent extra charge on top of monthly account service fee and payment handling fee. I only have interest free things on it.
Hi Kim, mm that doesn't sound quite right, there is a link on their site, Rates, Fees & charges, have a look into that there hopefully there will be an explaination

Can I pay my latitude MasterCard fortnightly - paying half of monthly amount each fortnight without any extra fees
to borrow 8,000 dollars, what is the interest or payment a month
Is there anyway to make a payment to avoid the the payment fee?
Can I use my card at a used car dealers
I would not recommend it. You will end up paying 5X the value of your car! The best thing to do is cut the card up and throw it in the bin! There are much better cards out there. This card is a total rip off!
I'm wondering the same thing. Paying my bills has never been an issue, So interest doesn't come in to play for me. I just need a few extra grand to buy a vehicle.
If I have no outstanding fee's and haven't used the card in a few months will I get charged anything?
Not sure. When I had another Go Card years ago I paid it off and closed it, as I was to be charged a fee just to keep it open. Don't know if this still applies. Ring them and ask, but not sure if you'll get a straight answer.
