Guys, why isn't anyone speaking about AU LIT CC?
I’ve checked the exclusion list for milestone cashback calculations. Its only fuel, rent, insurance and cash withdrawals are exclused from the calculations. So, my best bet would AU LIT i guess. Lets take the below scenario where i would like to invest 30k into NPS.

I will do that 30k investment in 3 months with 10k each per month as the max cashback for milestone spends is 500 ( 5% of 10000).

So, i can get 1500 cashback from the 30k investment using AU LIT card. If i exclude the 1% fee and the product feature fee which is 1500-300-352 = 847 is the net profit here. Is this correct or am i missing something here?
