Commonwealth Bank Awards
The CommBank Awards program offers you Awards points for everyday spending. It also gives you options for earning either Qantas or Velocity frequent flyer points. To earn these points, you will need to have one of the following cards:
| Frequent flyer program | Transfer requirements | Points rates |
|---|---|---|
| Qantas Frequent Flyer | You have to opt into Qantas Frequent Flyer Direct through your Awards account. There is a $30 annual charge for this service. When you opt-in, all future CommBank Awards points earned will be automatically transferred to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account on a monthly basis. Note that any CommBank Awards points earned prior to the date of your opt-in cannot be transferred to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account. Exclusions, points caps and limitations also apply. Refer to the CommBank Awards Terms and Conditions booklet or CommBank website for more information. | 1 Qantas Point = 2.5 Awards points |
| Velocity Frequent Flyer | Transfers can only be made to Velocity accounts with the same name as the primary cardholder.
