Customers also get complimentary international travel insurance, emergency travel assistance for Commonwealth Bank American Express Cards, and access to Mastercard Applause and Mastercard Moments.

Is This the Card For Me?

The Commonwealth Bank Gold card is ideal for anyone looking for a reasonably low interest rate on purchases and balance transfers. The $44 p.a. annual cost of the card is quite substantial, but for people who travel by air a great deal, or people with a taste for live music, the savings on travel and concert tickets or music will outweigh the cost of the card.

Eligibility

To be eligible for this card, you must be aged 18 or over, and be an Australian citizen or permanent resident.

Summary

The Commonwealth Bank Gold card is a useful card with no minimum income requirement and a relatively affordable yearly fee, making it accessible, but with plenty of perks, particularly for widely-travelled customers. The interest rates on purchases and balance transfers are not too bad either; all in all, this is a good package.
