As of 1 February 2017, Qantas has introduced a massive change to their Aquire Business Program. Now referred to as the Qantas Business Rewards Program, the new scheme aims to ease the process of obtaining and using Qantas Points for SME’s as effectively as possible. As customers, you will receive an increased amount of benefits and savings on all future Qantas bookings. All existing Qantas Aquire members have now been automatically converted to the new scheme and the following changes have taken place effective immediately:
- The use of “Pending-Points” on your account will now be removed. Businesses are able to use every point the second it is earned.
- New points can been seen in your Qantas Business Rewards account instead of your Qantas Frequent Flyer account. Businesses may transfer Qantas points to any Frequent Flyer account at any time.
- Any points accumulated as an Acquire member will be automatically converted to the new scheme.
- Earn Qantas points with up to 40 Qantas business partners.
As a result of these program changes, Qantas has introduced a new three-tiered system to categorise your new business status.These membership levels are based on the amount of points earned in a twelve-month period, and therefore determine what points and discounts can be achieved on all Qantas flight bookings.
Level One:
- Applicable to businesses earning under 20,000 Qantas Points over a twelve-month period
- Save 5% on selected domestic and international flights
- Seven day advance booking is required to successfully receive discounts
- You will accrue 20 Qantas Points of what the traveller would earn.
Level Two:
- Applicable to businesses earning over 20,000 (and less than 100,000) Qantas Points over a twelve-month period
- Save 7% on selected domestic and international flights
- Seven day advance booking is required to successfully receive discounts
- You will accrue 30 Qantas Points of what the traveller would earn.
Level Three:
- Applicable to businesses earning over 100,000 Qantas Points over a twelve-month period
- Save 8% on selected Flexible and 2% on selected Red eDeals
- No advance booking requirements
- You will accrue 40 Qantas Points of what the traveller would earn.
If you are not an existing Aquire member, it is free to join for the month of February. The requirements to join have been amended and you need simply a registered GST number and ABN.
For existing members, Travel Beyond Group has made all the relevant changes to ensure you are receiving all benefits immediately.
