Boost Your Points This Month: How to Earn on Your Next Holiday

Booking a holiday is a sure-fire way to cure any mid-year slump. And when that trip can earn you Qantas Points to put towards further adventures? Even better. You can boost your points balance this month by taking advantage of all the ways you can earn Qantas Points before you leave and when you’re already relaxing in your new destination, from taking out travel insurance to hiring a car to exploring the most scenic parts of a new country. These are all the extra ways your travels can help you start to build your Qantas Points balance now.

Float on

Whether you want to explore the coastline of America or zigzag through the balmy South Pacific, Princess Cruises’ impressive liners traverse all parts of the globe. Journeys range from three-day tours down the east coast of Australia to more than 100-day-long trips covering several continents.
Qantas Cruises: Earn triple points on Princess Cruises – that’s 3 points for every A$1 spent on your cruise – when you book between 22 and 29 July. T&Cs apply.

Get covered*

It’s a non-negotiable, really – you shouldn’t travel anywhere without sorting out travel insurance first. That way, should something not go as planned while you’re abroad, you can enjoy your holiday knowing you’ll be able to organise the support you need. Plus, you’ll earn 1 Qantas Point for every $1 spent on eligible travel insurance policies.
Qantas Travel Insurance: Receive 1,000 bonus Qantas Points on International Comprehensive Travel Insurance when you purchase between 22 July and 6 August.*

Spend big^

Need to keep track of your holiday spending? With the Qantas Travel Money card, you can load up to 10 foreign currencies at a time – ideal for a round-the-world adventure – and you’ll earn Qantas Points on all eligible overseas purchases. Plus, you won’t need to pay monthly fees and you receive access to fee-free load options.
Qantas Travel Money: Earn up to 40,000 bonus points when you load your Qantas Travel Money Card with foreign currency between 22 and 30 July.^

Sleep in style

How do sunset drinks overlooking Manhattan’s sparkling skyline sound? Or a peaceful, zen retreat in the middle of bustling Singapore? Or, closer to home, a chic stay in the midst of Melbourne’s laneways? Exclusive to Qantas Hotels, enjoy savings and premium inclusions on a range of luxe getaways across the globe.
Qantas Hotels: Earn 6 Qantas Points per A$1 spent when booking exclusive, limited time offers between 22 July and 31 August at  qantas.com/luxuryhotels.~

Drive away

Make the most of your trip to a new place by going past the city limits. In Sydney? A day-trip to the hazy Blue Mountains is a must. Visiting Perth? You can’t leave without zipping down to Margaret River to sip a few local drops (with a designated driver, of course). And no jaunt across the Tasman to Queenstown is complete without a scenic detour through the rolling hills, snow-dusted peaks and glorious natural wonders nearby. Hiring a vehicle to get to all of these fascinating places means you can make as many stops for snacks and photos as you need.
Qantas Car Hire: Earn 4 points per $1 spent with Avis and receive a Double Upgrade in Australia when you book between 22 and 30 July for travel until 18 December; or earn 700 points for rentals in New Zealand and receive a Double Upgrade when you book between 22 and 30 July for travel until 15 September.
