To give you an idea on the value of CommBank Ultimate Awards Credit Card’s 60,000 bonus Qantas Points, it’s enough for a return business class flight from Melbourne to Christchurch, New Zealand (57,000) or a return economy flight from Sydney to Singapore (50,400 Qantas Points).

Our verdict
Offers no foreign transaction fees and included international travel insurance. But there is a $60 fee for choosing Qantas Points, on top of the card's monthly fee.

Hello Anthony,
You will need to apply through CommBank directly to get a credit card. You could each apply individually with your own Qantas membership details.

I just got approved and received the card my question is do I have to apply for qantas frequent flyer? Or just to use the card to pay for flights will work ?

Hi Eman,
Yes, you will need to apply for a Qantas Frequent Flyer account, as this is where your points will accrue. There is a joining fee of $99.50, although this fee is usually waived when you apply for a Qantas credit card. It might be worth contacting CommBank to see if you can access a free membership.
Hope this helps!

Sarah Megginson Finder

Hi Peter,
The bank is likely to request things like bank statements, tax returns, ATO notice of assessment and perhaps even a letter from your accountant to confirm your income level, depending on your source of self-funded income.
Hope this helps!

Regarding: “Airport lounge access via Mastercard Travel Pass. The CommBank Ultimate Awards Credit Card gives you access to over 1,300 airport lounges through Mastercard Travel Pass, a service provided by DragonPass. You need to register your credit card through the app or online, then show your membership QR code and valid boarding pass at the lounge. Each visit will attract a fee from the lounge, which is charged to your credit card..”
What exactly is the benefit when you still have to Pay for the lounge use? I was there last week, was not offered access, was charged a fee.

Hi Linda,
Mastercard Travel Pass offers different benefits depending on the linked card. These will be visible in the Mastercard Travel Pass app. According to the Mastercard Travel Pass website, members can get access to entitlements for participating lounges, which can be viewed in the app. If you have questions or further thoughts about the service, you can message CommBank through the CommBank app or call 13 22 21. I hope this helps.

What expenses are covered under eligible spending? Does this include ATO, Council Rates and other utility costs?
Amy Bradney-George Finder
April 05, 2023
Hi Philomena,
Eligible spending includes most retail purchases. For example, groceries, petrol, dining out and travel bookings. According to the CommBank Awards terms and conditions, transactions that you won’t earn points for include BPAY payments and ATO payments – unless they’re made with a CommBank Business Awards card. The terms and conditions include a list of excluded transactions and, while rates and utilities are not mentioned by name, there is a statement that other transactions may be excluded “from time to time”, with notification in a guide and/or on the CommBank Awards website.
The full details for earning CommBank Awards Points and Qantas Points are available in the terms and conditions booklet on the CommBank website (here is the currentpdf, dated 1 August 2021). If you have further questions, you can also contact CommBank Awards on 13 16 11. I hope that helps.
