    3 How you earn or redeem CommBank Awards points will be subject to the CommBank Awards Program Terms & Conditions. You only earn points on eligible transactions (this excludes, for example, BPAY transactions, cash advances, balance transfers and payments to the Australian Taxation Office unless made using a Business Awards card). Awards and the number of points required for Awards are subject to change at any time without notice. If you opt-in to earn Qantas Points, your CommBank Awards points earnt each month are automatically transferred to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account at the end of each statement period, at the rate of 2.5 CommBank Awards points to 1 Qantas Point.

    How Ultimate Awards points work:

    Earn up to 3 Awards points or 1.2 Qantas Points per $1 spent on international transactions. International transactions include any purchase you make overseas or when shopping online from Australia if the merchant or entity who processes the payment is based overseas.

    Earn up to 2 Awards points or 0.8 Qantas Points per $1 spent at major Australian supermarkets, department stores, petrol stations, dining (cafes, restaurants & fast food) and utilities (electricity, gas & water). Earning these points depends on how the merchant categorises their business and provide us this information (directly or through their financial institution). You’re unable to get these points if you use an intermediary platform such as PayPal for these transactions.

    Earn up to 1 Awards point or 0.4 Qantas Points per $1 spent on all other purchases.

    Once you have spent $10,000 in any given statement period, you will earn 0.5 Awards points or 0.2 Qantas Points per $1 spent on any other purchases within that period. Once CommBank Awards points are transferred to Qantas Points, they are governed by the terms and conditions of the Qantas Frequent Flyer program and cannot be converted back to CommBank Awards points or redeemed under the CommBank Awards Program. You must be a member of the Qantas Frequent Flyer program to earn and redeem Qantas Points.
