CommBank Ultimate Awards Credit Card (with $4000 per month spend)
Ended — kept for reference
This page is my best effort to summarise the card's terms from the information I found. Read the bank's terms for full details, or contact the bank if you have questions.
I'd like to use my bonus for:
Can I get this?
This offer is advertised to the public. Bonus conditions and the bank’s approval requirements still apply.
Can I get this bonus if I have held a card before?
I have not checked the waiting period for this bonus.
See the waiting rules for every Australian bank →What must I spend?
$9,000 within 90 days — about $3,000 per month.
Can I get the card?
The minimum credit limit is $6,000. This is the least the bank may let you borrow.
I do not have a minimum income for this card.
Meeting the bonus rules does not mean the bank will approve your application. The bank must assess and approve the card separately.
How long is this available?
I do not have an end date for this offer.
Should I keep it after the first year?
Keeping the card costs $0 each year — the first year was $0.
There is no bonus in year two. The fee buys points on your spending, plus the card's perks.
Ongoing earn: 1.00x Commbank points per $1.
Keeping pays off only if the ongoing earn and benefits are worth $0/yr to you.
