Woolworths Rewards will now get you more Qantas Frequent Flyer points

Qantas Frequent Flyer and Woolworths Rewards have just announced a revamped partnership meaning more rewards (and flights) for members.

Qantas Frequent Flyer and Woolworths Rewards have renewed and revamped their decade-long partnership, promising more rewards for members, that will also be processed quicker.

MASSIVE CHANGE TO QANTAS POINTS

VIRGIN’S LATEST CHALLENGE TO QANTAS

From today, the conversion rate from Woolworths Rewards to Qantas Frequent Flyer points will increase by close to 15 per cent (that means 2000 Woolworths Rewards Points will now convert to 1000 Qantas Points, up from 870 points).

Woolworths Rewards members will also be able to access their Qantas Points quicker, with conversions to be processed automatically when members hit 2000 Woolworths Points (rather than once every three months).

THE QANTAS POINTS YOU’VE BEEN THROWING AWAY

FREQUENT FLYER POINTS VS STATUS CREDITS

Woolworths Rewards points can be earned by shopping at Woolworths, BIG W, BWS and participating Caltex and Caltex Woolworths fuel outlets.

“The refresh means our members can get even more value from their same everyday shopping … and book their next holiday even faster,” says WooliesX Managing Director Amanda Bardwell.

A third of Qantas Frequent Flyers who shop at Woolworths have taken a holiday using points in the past 12 months with top destinations including London, Singapore, Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne, says Qantas Loyalty Chief Executive Officer, Olivia Wirth.

“Our partnership with Woolworths is one of the most popular ways for members to earn points, we see them earn literally billions of Qantas Points every year,” says Wirth.

“As we move to make this partnership more rewarding and easier, we look forward to bringing even more Australians closer to their dream trip.”

Nearly five million reward flights were redeemed by Qantas Frequent Flyers last year.

For the first time, Qantas customers can link their accounts and sign up for Woolworths Rewards on the Qantas website. Woolworths Rewards has also introduced a simplified two-click process for Qantas conversions on its website.

To get Qantas Points with Woolworths Rewards, you must be a member of both Qantas Frequent Flyer and Woolworths Rewards programs, and have chosen to convert your Woolworths Points to Qantas Points.

Woolworths Rewards members who do not wish to opt-in to Qantas Points conversion will continue to save $10 on their next eligible shop at Woolworths, BWS, BIG W and participating Caltex and Caltex Woolworths co-branded fuel outlets each time their balance hits 2,000 points. They also have the option to bank their Woolworths Rewards savings for Christmas.
