Thanks bro! Can you tell me what the merchant code is? I wonder if Chase or Citi will classify this as travel, but I won't know until a few days from now when my transaction is posted.

At SYD, the minimum top up is $35. Since going to and from the airport is A$17.49, I guess I'll use most of it up by the time I leave. Having said that, what's the best way to drain the card to A$0? I'll keep the card as souvenir.
