Expert review

The CommBank Business Awards is suited to small business owners who want to keep track of spending and earn rewards at the same time. It offers simple account management through CommBiz, NetBank or the CommBank app, as well as automatic data feeds for MYOB and Xero, which can help you stay on top of your business accounting tasks. It also earns 1 Awards point per $1 spent on eligible purchases, with a cap of 60,000 points per year. So if you spend more than $60,000 annually on your business, you may want to compare some other options.

How to apply

You can apply for the CommBank Business Awards credit card online by filling out a simple application form. As this is a personal liability credit card, you won't need to include financial information for your business. But you do need to make sure you meet the following eligibility criteria and have all the documents and details needed to complete the application.

Eligibility criteria

  • Residency and work status. You must have the right to work in Australia.
  • Age. You must be at least 18 years old to apply.

Card benefits

  • 30,000 bonus Awards Points. When you apply for a new Business Awards card by 31 October 2019 and spend $2,000 on eligible purchases by 31 January 2020, you will receive 30,000 bonus Awards Points.
  • CommBank Awards points. This card earns 1 Awards point per $1 spent on eligible purchases, up to 60,000 points per year. Eligible purchases cover most everyday and business spending. Transactions that don't earn points include BPAY payments, cash advances, foreign currency purchases and account fees.

Rates & fees

  • Annual fee. The CommBank Business Awards credit card charges an annual fee of $100.
  • Additional cardholders. If you want to share the account with someone else in your business, you can add 1 additional cardholder for a fee of $75 p.a. Note that you will be responsible for managing the account.

    i pay roughly S150K per quarter on my business BAS and would like to take advantage of a points card solely for this purpose. Currently hold WBC cards so probably looking to take advantage of other banks NEW customer offers.

    Open to suggestions, but prefer not AMEX unless there is some compelling reason to use it I am not aware of.

    You say that your business awards credit card makes it easier to separate personal and business transactions and saves time preparing BAS. How? You do not give any evidence.

      Hi Wendy!

      Thanks for questions and for visiting finder – a leading comparison website and general information service built to give you advice on your buying decision needs.

      Yes, that is correct. The Commonwealth Bank Business Awards Credit Card lets you separate your business and personal expenses and save time preparing your Business Activity Statement (BAS).I understand that you are looking for information on how to do this. Since we don’t work directly for this bank, we don’t have this information on our website.

      Please note that we’re a product comparison website. We provide general information on products to assist you in your buying decision process hence we cannot recommend product/service that is rightfully fit for you. 

      We suggest contacting the bank directly as they will be able to assist you on how to go about this.

      Best Regards,

      Nikki

      Hi Gary,

      Thanks for your question.

      Please see our page on business credit cards, when you click through to a review, if you scroll down and click ‘rewards program’ you can then see if the points expire or not.

      Cheers,
      Shirley
