4 How you earn or redeem CommBank Awards points will be subject to the Commonwealth (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).

How Ultimate Awards points work: 

You can earn up to 3 Awards points for eligible purchases you make on the Ultimate Awards card. 

You get 3 Awards points for every $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. 

You get 2 Awards points for every $1 spent at major Australian supermarkets, department stores and petrol stations. 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.

You get 1 Awards point for every $1 spent on all other purchases. 

Once you have spent $10,000 in any given statement period, you will earn 0.5 Awards points for every dollar you spend on any other purchases within that period.
