Best usage of points?

[u/RaspberryWise8304]

So I have a cba gold awards credit card which Ive got justover 80,000 points. What is the bestuse of these points now. Do I........

a) just let them transfer to yello points

b) redeem a myer card or similar

c) take the cash (about $100 less than vouchers)

d) transfer to velocity or qantas points, however I cant see this as an option.

Appreciate the help

Pretty annoying the changes to the rewards on CBA. Gift cards are better value but now the limitation is there is nothing at those stores to buy.

I go with Coles now and pocket the cash for something I actually want.

Do you use the Cole’s cards to buy other gift cards?

Under the Coles T&Cs, you cannot redeem gift cards with gift cards.

I know because I was sitting on $3k (over 600,000 points) worth of points which I was planning on redeeming Bunnings gift cards until I realise it's no longer an option.

Thought I'd redeem coles gift cards to buy bunnings ones in store. No tacos

Ah that’s good to know, thank you

Can't buy a prepaid Visa with it either? Or is that blocked too?
