If you shop online regularly, you could be throwing away free points! Qantas Shopping runs ‘Card Offers’, which offers bonus points when you link a Visa or Mastercard and shop online. Best of all, these deals usually stack with other cashback and bonus points offers as well.
All you have to do is link any valid Australian Mastercard or Visa to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account, then check back regularly on the Qantas Shopping website for the latest deals.
These could be a certain number of bonus points per dollar spent, or perhaps a bigger one-off bonus if you spend a certain amount at participating retailers.
Here’s everything you need to know about Qantas Shopping and how to sign-up to receive offers.
How do I register for Qantas Card Offers?
It’s easy to sign up for Qantas Card Offers.
- First, navigate to Qantas Card Offers.
- Look for ‘Link more cards’ in the top-left corner, and go through that link. You will be prompted to sign-in to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account if you haven’t already.
- Enter your Mastercard or Visa details including the expiry and CVC code to register your card.
- You are now able to use Qantas Card Offers.
How do I use Qantas Card Offers?
Once you’ve successfully registered a Mastercard to your account, you will automatically be eligible to take part in any offer displayed on the Qantas Card Offers page.
Some are valid in-store only, some can only be used online, and others might work through both channels. Be sure to read the offer details carefully so you know what to expect.
If participating retailers are also listed on the Qantas Shopping portal, then remember to click through when commencing your purchase to earn even more bonus points on that purchase. (No idea what any of that meant? Then check out our broader guide to Qantas Shopping).
You don’t need to activate the specific offer/s you want to take advantage of. But you will need to use the enrolled Visa or Mastercard to earn the bonus points. You can link multiple cards to the same Qantas account.
Note that it can take up to 30 days after a qualifying purchase for points to be credited to your account. Here are the full terms and conditions of the program.
Summing up
Qantas Card Offers are yet another way to earn even more points when shopping – ranging from a quick snack at Zambreros to outfitting your new wardrobe at The Iconic.
With the current registration system, once you link your Australian Visa or Mastercard to Qantas Shopping, it’s ‘set and forget’. You could earn bonus points even if you weren’t aware of the offers!
Having said that, it’s always good practice to occasionally browse through and see what the latest deals are.
However, I wonder if someone used their linked Mastercard via payment systems like Paypal, Afterpay etc if the linked Mastercard offer would still apply? I couldn’t find this mentioned in the T&C’s. I always play it safe and directly enter in my MC CC details instead of going through PayPal etc.
E.g. CBA Mastercard Points registered to Qantas Mastercard points
Or will one get points in both places?
Qantas wouldn’t risk holding all the credit card data
No thanks.
