How to earn Qantas Points this festive season

The festive season is fast approaching, and while we’re all busy preparing gifts, travel plans, and celebrations, there’s one thing you shouldn’t forget: taking advantage of every opportunity to earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points!

Whether you're planning a holiday getaway or purchasing gifts for loved ones, there are plenty of ways to earn points that can be redeemed for flights, upgrades, hotel stays, car hire, gourmet food and wine - the list goes on! Let us help you make the most of this festive season with our Qantas Points earning products.

1. Earn Qantas Points while you spend

Qudos Bank’s range of Qantas Points earning products allows you to earn Qantas Points on your everyday spending, which could make a real difference during the high-spend festive season. From purchasing gifts to holiday bookings, every dollar you spend could bring you closer to your next reward.

Our Qudos Bank Visa Platinum Credit Card is a standout when it comes to earning Qantas Points1. For every eligible purchase2, you'll earn 1 Qantas Point per $1 spent up to $2,500 each month and 0.5 points for every dollar spent over that limit. With all the expenses that come with the festive season, it’s a great opportunity to accumulate points while checking off your shopping list or booking that dream getaway.

Tip: You could maximise your points by using your Qudos Bank credit card for all holiday purchases, from plane tickets to presents, turning your festive spirit into future travel opportunities.

2. Qantas Points on your savings

Saving during the festive season doesn’t have to mean missing out on rewards. With our Qantas Points Saver, you could earn 400 Qantas Points1 per annum for every $1,000 of your average balance, credited monthly and enjoy no account keeping fees and no penalties for withdrawals.

Whether you're setting aside money for Christmas presents or saving for future travels, you could be one step closer to your next holiday adventure with points earned through your savings.

Tip: Consider using our Qantas Points Saver as a holiday savings fund as you’ll be able to earn points while you save.

3. Earn points with a Qantas Points Home Loan or Car Loan

Big purchases during the festive season don’t just have to be about gifts and travel. If you’re considering making major life investments, like buying a new home or car, we offer fantastic opportunities to help you earn Qantas Points on those, too.

With our Qantas Points Home Loan you’ll earn Qantas Points1 for the life of your loan, which could go a long way towards your next holiday or upgrades on future flights.

Similarly, if you're thinking about upgrading your vehicle, the Qantas Points Car Loan allows you to earn 1000 Qantas Points4 per annum for every $1,000 of your loan balance, credited monthly, making every drive a little sweeter.

Tip: If you're already in the market for a new home or car, take advantage of this opportunity to boost your Qantas Points balance. Whether it’s upgrading your family car for holiday road trips or finding your dream home before the new year, Qudos Bank’s Qantas Points loans could make these milestones even more rewarding.
