my mortgage rate is 3.1% variable.
Should I refinance at a slightly lower rate & lose most of the redraw or just keep things as I am and have most of the $200k paid off in about 4 years? Currently paying $650 a week but putting a grand on extra every month or 2.

thanks
You can retain the redraw if the numbers work for the bank.

You just ask for the money for personal use (new car, renovation etc) then pop it back in there.
