On Friday (February 4, 2022), Qantas announced that Qantas Frequent Flyer has permanently improved the value of points, allowing 13 million members to book Qantas Hotels and Qantas Holidays for fewer points. Members will now require 45 percent less points when combining a Qantas of Jetstar flight as part of a Qantas Holidays package, while customers booking accommodations across 440,000 hotels via Qantas Hotels can now book for 30 percent fewer points. Additionally, frequent flyers will now need 20 percent fewer points when using Points Plus Pay on bookings made by April 2022, for travel through April 2023.


In Friday’s announcement, Qantas Loyalty’s CEO, Olivia Wirth, said,


“We’re increasing the power of a point when booking hotels and holidays because we want to reinvest in a program that has performed extremely well during COVID. Members have remained highly engaged despite the low levels of flying over the past two years, shown by the fact they’ve kept earning points on the ground and then redeemed them in record numbers. We saw more than seven billion points used to redeem flights in just four weeks following borders reopening and we want to keep that momentum going by making points go further for hotels and holidays, which in turn encourages members to keep earning with our partners and with the airline.


“We continue to reinvent the program to improve how members are recognised and rewarded. In 2019 made we made a number of changes, including significantly reducing the fees for international reward flights and delivering more rewards for members who earn most of their points through on-the-ground transactions. More recently, we’ve increased availability of reward seats across our network by up to 50 per cent as well. This latest change will help our growth into the hotel and holiday booking market, especially online, which is expected to rebound in the coming months.”
