If you prefer to earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points with a CommBank credit card, you will need to opt-in to Qantas Frequent Flyer Direct for an additional $60 annual fee. All points will then be converted automatically to Qantas. This option is available if you have a CommBank Smart Awards or Ultimate Awards credit card.
