If you'd like some help figuring out what's happened, please contact us.
Here are some guidelines to help make sure you receive your Bonus Points:
Bonus Points can be cancelled for a number of reasons. The most common are:
Sorry, but we're unable to allocate Bonus Points for any purchases that did not originate from the Bonus Points eShop. Always access the Retailer's website via the Bonus Points eShop so we can track your visit and award points.
If you need some help claiming missing Bonus Points please contact us.
The Bonus Points eShop will clearly outline how many Bonus Points you'll earn for purchases with participating retailers. In most cases, this will be expressed as a number of Bonus Points earned per $1 spent at the retailer.
Points are not earned on shipping or, in most cases, on GST or any taxes.
Yes. You can see your Bonus Points once they are tracked as 'Pending', 'Approved' or 'Cancelled' within your 'Account' area.
The number of Bonus Points you can earn can go up or down, and some retailers may have special Bonus Points offers from time to time. The number of Bonus Points you can earn is always displayed on the Bonus Points eShop so remember to check to know how many points you'll earn.
We're constantly adding and looking for new retailers, so if you know of a great online service or shop that you'd like to see added to our growing list, please let us know and we'll consider adding it.
You can cancel purchases directly with the retailer, subject to the retailer's terms and conditions. However, you will not earn Bonus Points for any cancelled or refunded orders. If you cancel a purchase after points have been applied, the Bonus Points will be deducted from your account.
From time to time retailers may decide they no longer wish to participate in the Bonus Points eShop and offer Bonus Points to members. When this happens the retailer will be removed from our site.
Any purchase made in a foreign currency will be converted to AUD at an exchange rate set by Collinson Group Pty Ltd at the time of calculating Bonus Points. Points are always calculated based on a purchase price (as per specific retailers terms and conditions) in AUD. Note that the amount charged in AUD to your credit card may be different as the exchange rate used for that is set by the credit card scheme (or sometimes the retailer).

Visit the CommBank Awards Program page for more information.
You'll be charged an international transaction fee when:
Visit CommBank's international transaction fee FAQ page for more details. In some cases, overseas online merchants may allow you to pay in Australian dollars. This is still considered an international transaction because your transaction is processed overseas.
Note: Even though a merchant has a website address ending in '.com.au' and displays prices in Australian dollars, they may still be located overseas or otherwise choose to process their credit card payments outside of Australia. It's best to check with the merchant before you pay if you are unsure.
