Score up to 100,000 CommBank Awards points with the Ultimate Awards credit card, enjoy bonus points, cashback, and potential no monthly fee.
The CommBank Ultimate Awards credit card stands out with a headline offer of up to 100,000 CommBank Awards points. If approved, you can earn 25,000 points each month when you spend $3,000 or more in each of your first four months. The Ultimate Awards card also features a tailored monthly fee system – spend $4,000 in a statement period to pay no fee for the month, otherwise a $35 fee applies. Like most cards, interest rates and credit limits will be personalised, reviewed periodically, and based on your creditworthiness.
How To Apply in Easy Steps
- Check your eligibility, ensuring you have not held a similar Awards card in the last 24 months
- Prepare required documents, such as proof of income and identity
- Go online and complete the official application form
- Wait for credit evaluation and approval notification
- Activate your card when it arrives and start spending to qualify for bonus points
Key Strengths
One of the biggest advantages is the highly competitive points-earning offer. You have the chance to rack up 100,000 points in just four months if you meet the spending criterion.
Enjoy additional perks like potential fee waivers and flexibility in converting points to Qantas Frequent Flyer. There is also fast online application processing and bonus points are credited quickly.
Limitations To Consider
The offer is restricted to new customers only, so existing or former Awards cardholders in the last 24 months aren’t eligible. This can limit its appeal for current CommBank customers.
Also, if your spending habit is below $3,000 monthly, you might not optimise the rewards or qualify for the monthly fee waiver.
Verdict: Is This Card For You?
The CommBank Ultimate Awards credit card is ideal for high spenders or those wanting to maximise rewards quickly. If you can comfortably meet the minimum spend, the bonus points and waivable fee make it a solid value proposition.
If you don’t meet the spend, however, the monthly fee and exclusion rules could mean this offer isn’t your best fit. Assess your usual spending before applying.
