What Are CompBux?
CompBux (CB) are the virtual reward currency on Competitions.com.au. They work like loyalty points — you earn them by completing paid surveys, playing Spin & Win, and referring friends. Once you’ve accumulated enough, you redeem them for real gift cards from over 100 Australian retailers including Coles, Woolworths, Amazon Australia, Kmart, Bunnings, JB Hi-Fi, BP, and many more.
The exchange rate is straightforward: 100 CompBux = $1 AUD. That means 1,000 CompBux is worth a $10 gift card, and 10,000 CompBux is worth $100. There are no tricks, no hidden fees, and no catches. You earn CompBux, you redeem them, and your digital gift card arrives in your inbox — often within minutes.
Since launching, Competitions.com.au has paid out over $127,350 in gift card rewards to more than 413,000 Australian members. CompBux are the engine behind everything — they’re what you earn from paid surveys, what you collect from Spin & Win prizes, and what your friends earn for you through the referral program. The more actively you use the platform, the faster your CompBux balance grows.
How to Earn CompBux in Australia
There are three main ways to earn CompBux on Competitions.com.au. Surveys are the primary earner, but Spin & Win and referrals can add significant extra income on top. Here’s exactly how each method works and what you’ll earn:
1. Complete Paid Surveys
PRIMARY EARNERSurveys are the fastest and most reliable way to earn CompBux. Each successfully completed survey earns you 150–200 CompBux (worth $1.50–$2.00), plus bonus rewards. Most surveys take 12–20 minutes to finish. Read our guide to how paid surveys work in Australia for the full breakdown.

Bonus Guessing Entries
Quick maths: If you complete 2 surveys a day for a month, that’s roughly 60 surveys × 175 average CB = 10,500 CompBux. That’s enough for a $100 gift card plus 300 bonus spins and 300 bonus guessing entries — all for free.
2. Spin & Win
DAILY FREE SPINSpin & Win is a free daily prize wheel. Every spin lands on a prize — including CompBux. You get 1 free spin per day, plus bonus spins from surveys and redemptions. The wheel can award 5 or 10 CompBux per spin, and with enough spins these add up quickly.

CompBux Redemption Tiers & Gift Card Values
CompBux can be redeemed at four different tiers. Each tier gives you a gift card plus bonus Spin & Win spins and bonus guessing game entries. The higher the tier, the more bonus rewards you unlock — making it worth saving up for larger redemptions when possible.

Why save for higher tiers? The $100 tier includes 20 bonus spins + 50 guessing entries — that’s dramatically more than four separate $10 redemptions which would only give you 8 spins + 20 guesses total. If you can hold off, the higher tiers give you far more overall value for the same number of CompBux.
How to Redeem CompBux for Gift Cards
Redeeming CompBux is quick and straightforward. Gift cards are delivered digitally via email, usually within minutes. Here’s the step-by-step process:

Choose Your Redemption Tier
Select the gift card value you want — $10, $30, $50, or $100. Each tier shows the CompBux required and the bonus rewards you’ll receive. The $100 tier also offers a PayPal cash payout option.
Select Your Retailer
Browse through 100+ Australian retailers and pick where you want to spend your gift card. Popular choices include Woolworths, Coles, Amazon Australia, Kmart, BP, EG Ampol, eBay, Rebel, Myer, Bunnings, Target, and JB Hi-Fi.

7 Tips to Earn CompBux Faster
Experienced members can earn $50–$100 or more per month in gift cards. Here’s how to maximise your CompBux income:
Complete Your Profile 100%
A complete survey profile gets you matched with more surveys. More matches means more opportunities to earn 150–200 CompBux per completion. This is the single biggest thing you can do to increase earnings.
Check for Surveys Daily
New surveys are added throughout the day. Members who check in multiple times a day catch more surveys than those who check once. Set a reminder to check your survey dashboard in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
Never Miss Your Daily Spin
Your free Spin & Win resets at midnight every day. If you don’t use it, you lose it. That’s 365 free chances at CompBux, guessing entries, and gift cards per year. It takes 10 seconds.
Play Daily Guessing Games
The daily guessing games award CompBux to winners — up to $50 for guessing the exact number. Use your free daily guess and your bonus entries from surveys for more chances.
Refer Friends for Bonus Rewards
Share your referral link on social media, WhatsApp, or with family. You get 5 bonus spins and 10 guessing entries for every friend who signs up, and your friend gets 50 CompBux, 4 spins, and 15 guesses to start. There’s no cap on how many people you can refer.
Save for Higher Tiers
Redeeming at the $100 tier gives you 20 spins and 50 guesses on top of your gift card. That’s far better than doing ten $10 redemptions which only give 20 spins and 50 guesses total — wait, that’s the same! The real benefit is fewer redemptions to manage and the PayPal cash option.
Follow Our Survey Tips Guide
Our 10 tips to maximise survey earnings guide covers everything from answering honestly to avoiding common mistakes that get you screened out. Better survey completion rates mean more CompBux per hour of your time.
Keep Your CompBux Active
Important: CompBux expire after 6 months of inactivity. As long as you log in, complete a survey, play Spin & Win, or enter a guessing game within any 6-month period, your balance is completely safe. Competitions.com.au will send you reminders if your account has been inactive, but don’t rely on these — make it a habit to log in regularly.
The simplest way to stay active is to claim your free daily spin on Spin & Win — it takes under 10 seconds and resets your activity timer. Even if you’re not in the mood for surveys, a quick spin keeps your CompBux balance protected.
