credit card points

[grantwhit]

I have a platinum cc with cba. Mrs w has a bad habit of buying things (mainly clothes and shoes) only to get home and want to return it. just wondering if the points that get racked up on purchases are deducted when an item is returned?. I assume it would but on the statement it just shows up as a credit toward the balance, similar to making a lump sum payment off it

I haven't returned anything before.

But you can log onto netbank and click on the little awards icon next to your credit card. That will take you to the cba awards page, you can then click on the tabs up the top 'My Account' than 'Transaction History', hopefully that will help.

Goodluck with the Mrs and the plastic fantastic

I think you'll find that refunds deduct the points.

+1 would assume so.

I love the points rewards - have racked up many many $thousands over the years in rewards - mainly Bunnings or Harvey Normal (can use at Joyce Mayne) ... currently have enough for a new oven/cooktop sitting in my wallet

You must have a large wallet to be able to sit an oven/cooktop in it.

Yes, the points do get deducted when an item is returned.

That must be a really tiny oven/cooktop Lizzie .

Yea they are a great way to get money for nothing (as long as you pay the balance off). We've had ours for about 12 months and have around $400 worth of reward points. It's not much compared to the total amount spent on the card but it's better than nothing.

Its an inverted lame joke.
