Card surcharges disappear on 1 October. On 30 September, the day before, Westpac and St.George reprice their rewards credit cards.

The variable purchase rate goes from 20.99% to 23.99% a year. Annual program fees of $75 land on cards that currently carry none. A $100 gift card that costs a St.George holder about 20,000 Amplify points starts costing about 29,412.

Both issuers point to the same cause: the RBA cut the interchange cap on consumer credit cards to 0.3% and left commercial cards at 0.8%.
