Bankwest More Rewards gives you a way to earn points on your credit card spending and overall account. You can redeem these points for cashback or a range of digital gift cards.
Bankwest isn't the only bank that has its own credit card rewards program, so here we'll go through exactly how it works to help you compare it to other options. And if you already have a Bankwest More Rewards credit card, we'll take you through how to get value from it.
How to earn Bankwest More Rewards points
When you have a Bankwest More credit card, you'll earn reward points per $1 on your eligible spending. Here are the key details for different cards.
Most everyday transactions are eligible to earn points, including dining out, petrol and shopping for clothes or at the supermarket. Transactions that don't earn points are less common and usually have a financial aspect to them. This includes BPAY payments, cash advances, balance transfers, credit card rates and fee costs, any refunded transactions and government charges.
Introductory bonus point offers
If you don't have a Bankwest credit card at the moment, you could kick-start your rewards balance with an introductory bonus points offer. When these deals are available, they usually give new cardholders thousands of bonus points for meeting a spend requirement. For example, 80,000 bonus points when you spend $4,000 in the first 3 months.
As with most rewards cards, the bonus point offers on Bankwest More credit cards are only available for a limited time, so check before you apply to see if there's a deal that you want.
What rewards can you get with Bankwest points?
Rewards are how you'll get value out of this loyalty program, and you can start redeeming them once you have spent at least $1,500 and had your Bankwest More credit card for at least 60 days. In general, the more points you have, the bigger the rewards.
Right now, you can only redeem your Bankwest More Rewards points for cashback or a choice of gift cards. Bankwest does not publicly list details of how many points you need or the gift cards available, so if you have a Bankwest More card, log in to view details.
How much are Bankwest More Rewards points worth?
There's no fixed value for Bankwest More Rewards points because the dollar value is different between rewards. This is the case for most reward programs that give you more than one way to redeem points.
Currently, the Bankwest More Rewards website also doesn't list any details of rewards unless you log in. But you can get an idea of how much value points offer using Finder's points value calculator.
How to get the most value from the Bankwest More Rewards program
Always choose rewards that you want or need so you can at least save some cash. If there's nothing you want, just keep saving up points.
There is also a sale section on the Bankwest More Rewards website, where you'll find items that cost fewer points than before. Like retail sales, these deals are for a limited time – and can help you get more value for your points.
How to redeem Bankwest More Rewards points
You can use your points to get rewards online in just a few steps:
Go to www.bankwestmorerewards.com.au and log in using your account details. You can also access More Rewards by logging into your account online or through the Bankwest app and navigating to More Rewards.
Search rewards and select the one you want.
Check you have enough points for the reward, then follow the prompts to redeem it.
You can also redeem points by calling Bankwest on 13 17 19 (personal cards).
How to decide if the Bankwest More Rewards program is worth it for you
There's always a chance that a reward credit card's costs will outweigh any value you get from them. So here's what to think about before you apply.
Look at the cost of the card. The annual fee and the interest rate for purchases are the key costs. Ideally, you want an annual fee that is worth less than the value of your rewards.
Ask yourself how much you'll use the card. The main way you earn points is by making eligible purchases with your credit card. And to get the anniversary bonus points on a Bankwest More credit card, you also need to meet a yearly threshold. If you don't earn enough points, getting rewards won't be worth it compared to the account costs.
Think about whether the rewards are actually valuable to you. If you want a choice of rewards that aren't cash-based, you could compare other reward cards to help you choose one.
Bottom line? For some people, rewards are a great way to get something extra out of having a credit card. But other people will find that money-saving features actually give them more value.
Frequently asked questions
You can log in to your account at www.bankwestmorerewards.com.au and check your reward statement at any time. This gives you details of your current points balance, as well as a history of how many points you've earned and redeemed.
You'll also get a monthly rewards statement that shows how many points you've earned in each credit card statement period.
If the points have already been added, they'll be taken out of the total balance for your rewards account when the transaction is reversed.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
