⁷ How you earn or redeem CommBank Awards points will be subject to the Commonwealth (CommBank) Awards Program Terms & Conditions.

The number of points you can earn may be capped. Awards and the number of points required for Awards are subject to change at any time without notice. 

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. 

⁸ Pay no international transaction fees on purchases or cash advances you make overseas or in Australia (for example online) where the merchant or financial institution or entity processing the transaction is located overseas. For international cash advances, the cash advance fee will apply.

⁹ To gain access to participating airport lounges, you must present your Ultimate Awards card or your digital lounge access code on the Mastercard® Airport Experiences app, along with your boarding pass and identify yourself as a LoungeKey member for validation.

Each time you visit a lounge, you will be charged a lounge visit fee to your Ultimate Awards card. You will also be charged a lounge visit fee for each additional guest you bring with you.

Please note, your lounge access may be blocked if your primary account is closed, in arrears, reported lost or stolen, or has been blocked by us for any reason.
