Our expert says

"This credit card paid for my Bose headphones. Not only does it have a high earn rate, but it is accepted in many places where Amex is not. Plus, if you have a CommBank home loan, the annual fee is covered, making this card a no-brainer to use."

Benefits of getting a Commonwealth Bank credit card

CommBank credit cards all come with their own set of features, but let's take a look at some of the key benefits you can get:

  • CommBank Yello Cashback Offers

CommBank Yello Cashback Offers is a complimentary loyalty program available to anyone over 18 who has the CommBank app and an eligible Mastercard credit card or debit card. It gives you access to cashback offers through the CommBank app, which also includes a tracking tool so you can see how much cash you have got back.

While offer details vary (because they are personalised), you'll typically earn cashback by spending a set amount of money at a partner store or stores. Some examples include spending $50 at Caltex and getting $5 back, spending $100 at Myer and getting $15 back or spending $100 at Menulog and getting $10 back. When you meet the offer requirements, the cashback will be added to your account within 5–14 business days.

  • CommBank app

The CommBank app gives you a simple way to check your account details and lets you lock, block and limit certain transactions. It's also where you'll see CommBank Yello Cashback Offers and other details about your account.

  • Mobile contactless payments

Commonwealth Bank credit cards give you a way to make cardless payments with an eligible smartphone or other device, including fitness trackers if you get a personal credit card. So you can add your card to the following services:

  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay
  • Samsung Pay
  • Fitbit Pay
  • Garmin Pay
  • Commonwealth Bank included travel insurance policy

If you get a new CommBank Smart Awards or Ultimate Awards credit card, you'll get access to international travel insurance. This insurance is provided by Cover-More on behalf of the insurer (Zurich Australian Insurance Ltd). Overseas emergency medical cover is automatically included when you meet the requirements, with other cover available when you activate it through the CommBank app before you travel. Eligibility requirements, terms and conditions and exclusions apply, so make sure you check Commonwealth Bank Credit Card Insurances product disclosure statement for all of the details.
