Qantas called our ears several times this week. They also released some delicious new vaccine incentives. Beyond the two biggest incentives (which you go into a raffle to win) of a year’s worth of free flights and Accor hotel stays, there is also a secondary incentive (which everyone gets) where double vaccinated Qantas Points members are offered three treats to pick from, after uploading proof to the Qantas App of their double vaccinated status. The email reads: “We all dream about the day when we can fly off to see our family, friends, or take a much-deserved vacation.” Every Australian should get vaccinated to make our lives a little more normal.
“If you’re a Qantas Frequent Flyer who has been fully vaccinated for COVID-19, we want to say thank you for protecting yourself and the community, with your choice of reward, and the chance to win a fantastic major prize.” We are here to tell you the truth.
Qantas flight prices are typically in the $200-$700 range. You won’t notice the $20 difference. Jetstar flights, however, much more often are dropped to the $40 to $80 range, where that same $20 reduction is going to make a much more obvious difference. You can think about it this way: a $40 Jetstar flight could potentially turn into a $20 flight. A $20 flight. It’s amazing!
Also: status credits are already being extended by another year anyway and 1,000 Qantas points isn’t that much. It’s your $20 to have fun with.
