How the Awards Program works

Earning points

The number of Awards points you earn per $1 spent will depend on what type of CommBank Awards credit card you have.

  • Points are earned on eligible purchases and are subject to points capping2
  • For an opt-in fee per year, you can choose to earn Qantas Points instead of Awards points, at a rate of 2.5 CommBank Awards points to 1 Qantas Point8 To find out what the current Qantas opt-in fee per year is, see the terms and conditions or call CommBank Awards.
  • If your card type is an Awards credit card, you will no longer be able to opt-in to earn Qantas Points. Existing Awards credit cardholders who have already opted-in to earn Qantas Points prior to 25 August 2023 can remain opted-in at $60 per card, per year.
