A new premium credit cards from Macquarie Bank offers benefits that other card users simply cannot enjoy, it has been claimed.

The new Visa platinum card from the organisation features contactless technology, meaning that users simply have to wave their card at the reader to make a payment.

But a joint promotion with the Sydney Cricket Ground has led to card users enjoying other benefits - namely their own special queues at the bar.

Nick Samios, writing in the Business Spectator, notes that users look like they are about to travel in business class on a plane, due to the fact that they have their own queues roped off at the bar.

Indeed, it is offers such as this joint promotion that are going to have to be employed more frequently if credit card companies wish to continue to succeed in the current economic times, the writer asserts.

The bank's platinum card is currently being offered with 0% on balance transfers for the first six months, among other things.
