CBA Credit Cards 'True Awards' Point Redemption - Additional 10% Cashback

371
mybonus101

Remember this deal? http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/46483

I was just about to claim some more cash back on my card, and I thought "hmmm, I wonder if the CBA boffins have remembered to deactivate this promo…" To my surprise, upon calculating my cashback amount with the mybonus101 code, there was an additional 10% added!

Maybe Giftcards101 is still active too…

Mod edit - Added True, as in "True Awards" to title for clarity and ease of keyword search.

    Just checked and your are right, it does still work.
    Giftcards101 is no longer active however (they actually seemed to de-active this one before the end of the last promotion).

  • what's this? does it mean u can claim cash back from CBA award points??

    Hmmm doesnt wotk for me….."This is not a valid promotion code. Please check and try again".

    • Not working form me either…

      Just make sure you don't fall for the same thing I did. You don't put this code in the normal checkout promo area, you put it in in the cash back calculation box. It then automatically calculates the cashback at the 10% off rate.
      As nfr said though, shop around for gift cards as they often give better $/points. Cashback is good for paying back the bill (although I think getting the best value and spending more is the ozbargain way!)

      • Oops, that works! Thanks!

  • Even with 10% cash back you still do not get the best return. Generally kmart/target/Bob Jane giftcards give you the best return for cash-like awards.

    • Yes, that has always been the case, but unlike cash-back you can only "buy" the giftcards for a limited number of very specific retailers.

      Cash-back of course gives you $$ to spend as you wish at any merchant that accepts your flavour of CBA CC.

      Live Long and Save.

    thank for sharing, it's works for me.

    the reason why it is still active is because there is a new deal going i believe with the same codes.

    i recevied a letter in the mail telling of the new deals. there are a few new ones going around but i dont have the card here with me maybe someone else can update. there were 5-6 codes in total.

    • can you share?please

    I'm lazy, can anyone tell me if the house insurance rebate is the most efficient "cash back" kind of reward from CBA? I have house insurance with them. I'm sure the annual fee used to be the best value for points, but it doesn't seem to be any more.

  • Hello, I am just reading this info, have a cba rewards card and never now how to use the rewards. What is the best way to redeem the points?

    • Have a read of the relevant CBA web-page.

      From memory, there's a link to it from the NetBank site also.

      It has all the info' that you'll need.

      TEGH

    • How do you claim the 10% off for Giftcards and shopping? Whenever I put it into the box at checkout it says I'm not eligible!

      • me too

        • I can't get it to work either… I can see how it works for cash back but for gift cards there's no prompt for code.
          The only prompt I get is right before the check out and it says im not eligible either.

    how does this work? have a credit card with cba and you can get a 10% discount?

    • It's a loyalty points scheme called "True Awards".

      $$ spent = points accrued.

      There's a catalogue of "awards", which have varying "costs" in points.

      Included amongst the "awards", are cash-back (onto your CC) and gift-cards for specified merchants.

      En-joy
