How Smart Awards points work:
Earn up to 1.5 CommBank Awards points per $1 spent at major Australian supermarkets, department stores, petrol stations, dining (cafes, restaurants, fast food & delivery services) and utilities (electricity, gas & water only). 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 CommBank Awards point per $1 spent on all other purchases. Once you have spent $5,000 in any given statement period, you will earn 0.5 CommBank Awards points per $1 spent on any other purchases within that period.
Points Boost
Earn up to 2 Bonus CommBank Awards points per $1 spent on your highest eligible transaction made in a statement period up to a 1,000 Bonus CommBank Awards points. Points Boosts will be applied at the end of each statement period (in some instances, purchases at the end of the statement period may be allocated to the next statement period and may be identified as the highest Eligible Purchase for that statement period). They will appear on your credit card statement under the ‘Awards Transactions’ section.
^ For Smart Awards credit cards, there is no monthly fee if you spend at least $2,000 on your Smart Awards credit card in your statement period to qualify for no monthly fee for that month. Otherwise the monthly fee is $19. Spend includes all purchases and cash advances made using your Smart Awards credit card, minus any refunds. This is for all transactions fully processed in the given statement period (not pending transactions).
