Everything to Know About the Qantas Been Vaccinated? Be Rewarded Program
Qantas has just announced its Been Vaccinated? Be Rewarded program – here’s everything you need to know, from how to participate to what the prizes are and more.
There’s no denying that many of us are waiting restlessly for the first signs that we might be able to travel freely again, domestically and internationally. With the Australian federal and state governments asserting that travel restrictions will only be eased with a higher rate of vaccine uptake across the community, many businesses are focused on encouraging more Australians to get vaccinated.
Qantas’s new Been Vaccinated? Be Rewarded scheme is designed to reward those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with bonus points, flight discounts and more. Eight lucky participants will also win a year’s worth of flights, hotel stays and fuel.
“Getting vaccinated is an important step that every Australian can take that brings us that little bit closer to life as we knew it. As the national carrier, we want to recognise those who have made the effort to protect themselves and the community,” said Alan Joyce, CEO of Qantas Group. “The impact of the pandemic on the travel industry and our own Qantas Group team members means we have a clear vested interest in the success of the vaccine rollout.”
“Our crews can’t wait to get back to reuniting family and friends, taking people on holiday and putting some energy back into the whole tourism industry. For us, getting the vaccine rate up to 70 and 80 per cent means thousands of people can go back to work,” he continued. “With the Federal Government’s vaccine program ramping up across the country, now is the ideal time to say thank you to Australians for stepping up and protecting themselves and others.”
Who can participate in the Been Vaccinated? Be Rewarded program?
Fully vaccinated Australians are eligible to participate in the Been Vaccinated? Be Rewarded program from 8am on the 24th of August 2021. If you’re not an existing Qantas Frequent Flyer, simply sign up to be a Qantas Frequent Flyer and download the Qantas App.
From there, you’ll need to upload a COVID-19 Digital Certificate PDF, which is available from Medicare or MyGov, to the Qantas App. Then you’ll be able to select the reward of your choice. Think carefully, as rewards cannot be changed once your initial choice has been selected.
To be eligible for a reward, you have to be over the age of 18, based in Australia at the time of applying and fully vaccinated with two doses under the Australian national COVID-19 vaccination program. Rewards can only be claimed between 24 August and 31 December 2021.
