Our verdict

Get up to $200 cashback and a waived monthly fee with the CommBank Low Fee Credit Card.

The CommBank Low Fee Card charges a $3 monthly fee that is waived if you spend at least $300 per month. Its $200 cashback offer means you can enjoy some extra value when you first get the card.

You can also take advantage of interest-free days on purchases, but you'll need to make sure you pay the total amount owing by the due date listed on your statement. You can learn more about how this works in Finder's guide to interest-free days to decide if this will work for you.

Pros

Up to $200 cashback offer
Waived $3 monthly fee when you spend $300 per month
