Commbank has a good offer on this one for purchases just now â?? 5 months 0%. I signed up just for that offer. Seems good in the long term too â?? low interest rates, maybe annual a bit high for a low rate card though.

I\'ve had this card for a number of years and also hold several accounts with CommBank. Customer service has always been great and if your card is used suspiciously they always call. Low Interest rates on purchases has allowed me to pay off any debts on the card with less urgency (when necessary). Cash Advances are a big no no on credit cards as most people should know and this one is no different. Expect to pay dearly if do. Overall, a great everyday card to be hard without the hassle of rewards and other similar gimmicks.

    Hi, is your Commbank low rate credit card linked to Qantas frequent flyer rewards points? Can I use the credit card to purchase points?

      Hi Anne-Marie, no you can’t use the Commbank Low Rate card to earn Qantas points. You can use any of the 3 Commbank Awards cards to do this, or check out our credit card flyer points earning guide.

      Hi Mustapha, there is no stated maximum credit limit. Rather Commonwealth bank will determine a credit limit for you based on a number of factors in the application, such as income, current debt you have and your estimated capacity to repay the allowed credit limit. Don’t forget that on our application you can state a maximum credit limit you wish to apply for. This should be realistic, based on what you think you can afford to repay.

Apply in 3 Easy Steps

  1. When you click Apply you will go to the bank's secure web site.
  2. Most applications take 10-15 mins to fill in.
  3. Upon approval the bank will issue your credit card, usually within 1-2 weeks.
