You must be a Qantas Frequent Flyer member to earn and redeem points. Membership and points are subject to the Qantas Frequent Flyer program terms and conditions.
^ Qantas Frequent Flyer members will earn 3 Qantas Points per A$1 spent unless otherwise specified, for hotel stays booked through qantas.com/hotels, except Classic Hotel Rewards and Airbnb bookings. Points Club members will earn 25% more Qantas Points, and Points Club Plus members will earn 50% more Qantas Points. Qantas Points will be credited to your account at least 8 weeks after check-out. Qantas Points can be earned on cash only purchases and the cash component of Points Plus Pay purchases on eligible bookings and will not be earned on cancelled or refunded bookings. Qantas Points may be earned by the member in whose name the booking is made. Members will not be able to earn points on additional charges paid to the accommodation provider for extras (including cots, breakfasts and other incidentals) on check-in or check-out (as applicable). Deposit Pay is available on selected properties that offer a free cancellation window that is 21 days or more in the future from the date of booking. Visit our FAQ page for more.
* Qantas Frequent Flyer members can redeem Qantas Points when booking hotel accommodation through qantas.com/hotels or holiday packages through qantas.com/holidays, using Points Plus Pay. Members cannot redeem points for additional charges paid to the hotel for extras (including cots, breakfasts and other incidentals) on check-in or check-out (as applicable). Points Plus Pay allows you to choose the number of Qantas Points you redeem above the specified minimum level of 5,000 and pay for the remainder of the booking value with an Accepted Payment Card (including VISA, MasterCard or American Express).

Qantas Points will not be earned on cancelled, refunded or amended bookings. The offer does not apply to bookings made with vouchers. This offer cannot be combined or used in conjunction with any other offer. For first time bookings, the bonus Qantas Points will be applied in two transactions: (1) 500 Qantas Points awarded within 24 hours; and (2) 1,500 Qantas Points awarded within 8 weeks after check-out.

^* A minimum 20% deposit, payable using a payment card or using Qantas Points, is required to secure your booking. Deposit payment terms will only be permitted for bookings with a free cancellation option, within Australia. Final payment of the balance owing is payable 7 days prior to the end of the free cancellation window for the booking, and will be automatically charged to the card details provided at the time of booking. Where payment of the balance is not made within the required timeframe, or the payment card provided is declined, the booking will be cancelled, and the deposit will be refunded in full. To amend a Deposit Pay booking, the original booking will need to be cancelled before the end of the free cancellation window to be eligible for a refund of your deposit and a new booking will need to be placed. No changes can be made to a Deposit Pay booking until full payment is received. Deposit Pay is available at the discretion of Qantas, and may be removed or revoked at any time. Payment of a deposit indicates acceptance of these conditions.
