    CommBank Awards adds new airline partners

    MarkBy MarkJuly 5, 2018No Comments2 Mins Read

    CommBank Awards has added a number of new transfer partners to is rewards scheme. The changes offer members nine new airlines and the IHG Rewards club hotel program. This will give members a greater number of options for their travels.

    Transfer Partners

    The following table shows the new and existing transfer partners, together with their transfer rates.

    Program Transfer Rate
    Existing Programs
    AirAsia BIG Loyalty 2.5 Awards points/1 AirAsia BIG Point
    AirFrance/KLM Flying Blue 3 Awards points/1 Mile
    China Eastern 3 Awards points/1 point
    Enrich 3.5 Awards points/1 mile
    Etihad Guest 3.5 Awards points/1 mile
    Eva Air 3 Awards points/1 mile
    JAL 4 Awards points/1 mile
    Lufthansa Miles & More 4 Awards points/1 mile
    United MileagePlus 4 Awards points/1 mile
    IHG Rewards 2.5 Rewards Points/1 IHG Rewards Points
    Existing Programs
    Qantas Frequent Flyer* 2.5 Awards points/1 Qantas Point
    Virgin Australia Velocity 2.5 Awards points/1 Velocity Point (Awards and Gold)
    Virgin Australia Velocity 2 Awards points/1 Velocity Point (Platinum and Diamond)

    *Note that for Qantas, you must opt in to the Qantas Frequent Flyer Direct program. This costs $30 per year, and points will automatically be transferred into the program.

    The addition of the programs comes ahead of the CommBank removing the American Express companion cards from its lineup. As a result, you will only be able to earn points from your Visa or Mastercard purchases.

    Earnings on the CommBank Visa or MasterCard will be 1 CommBank reward points per dollar (or 1.25 Rewards Points per dollar, in the case of Diamond Rewards). This means that you could be earning as little as a quarter of a point per dollar when transferring to some programs.

    Having said that, some of the airlines have no other credit card partner in Australia. As a result, this may give some opportunities that might not otherwise be available.
