There was no process for GW to simply send an email saying sorry you are over the limit and we are remitting the money back. It was not an insubstantial amount of money...

It also raises issues as to how accountable REV or Cuscal actually are. I have received no return correspondence from REV.

Think I will stick with the Australian bank issued travel cards in the future.
Are you actually using it for travel spend, rather than points? If so your pissing even more money down the drain if you use travel cards compared to credit or debit options like Citibank plus.
