From October, the Reserve Bank will change how banks make money from credit cards by eliminating surcharge fees and reducing interchange fees that fund rewards programmes. Banks are expected to scale back frequent flyer points earnings, reduce sign-on bonuses, potentially increase annual fees and interest rates, and introduce caps on points per dollar spent.
