Point transfers to partners: 0.25 cents to 1+ cent per point.
CommBank Awards points can be transferred to a large list of frequent flyer and hotel rewards programs. This can give you out-sized value when transferred to select partners and redeemed for high value. Here's the full list of partners:
While having this many partners offers great flexibility, the transfer ratio for a good handful of these are not that great. Exchanging 3.5 points or higher for a single point or mile will make it hard to build your rewards and will heavily devalue your points in most instances.
Shopping the Awards eShop: 0.2 cents to 0.3 cents per point.
CommBank Awards points can be redeemed for merchandise in the Awards eShop. The value you get out of the eShop will heavily vary, but most items I price tested gave between 0.2 and 0.3 cents per point in value. You'll also find some items in the eShop on sale which can net you slightly higher value.
Another big plus is that you can use Points plus Pay, so you can use your points to shave down the cost of your purchase and pay the rest with your card.
Donations to charity: 0.53 cents per point.
CommBank Awards points can be donated to charity. Donations start at 4,650 points for a $25 donation.
