Sports lovers are able to boost their Qantas Points balance whilst enjoying up to 50 sports games live and on-demand with Kayo Sports, on up to three screens simultaneously.
Until 31 December 2020, new subscribers can earn double Qantas Points on new Kayo subscriptions — that’s 2,000 bonus points on the $25 plan and 3,000 bonus points on the $35 plan.
What is Kayo Sports?
Kayo Sports is a sports streaming service run by Fox Sports and launched in November 2018. You can view your sports on your terms—live and on-demand—in HD and up to three screens on Splitview.
Over 50 sports are featured, from cricket, AFL, rugby league, rugby union, football, tennis, golf, motorsports and basketball through to surfing, ice hockey, baseball, US football, athletics, cycling and darts.
How much does a Kayo Sports subscription cost?
There are two monthly plans:
- $25 basic subscription: HD streaming on 2 devices
- $35 premium subscription: HD streaming on 3 devices
Perks of both plans include the ability to split-screen up to 4 different sports or camera views on your device, plus access to live and on-demand sports streaming around the clock.
How many Qantas Points can I earn with Kayo Sports?
You can earn:
- 1,000 points for signing up to the $25 plan, plus 100 points per month subscribed (including your first month). The sign-up bonus is doubled to 2,000 Qantas Points until 31 Dec 2020, for a total of 2,100 points earned in the first month.
- 1,500 points for signing up to the $35 plan, plus 150 points per month subscribed (including your first month). The sign-up bonus is doubled to 3,000 Qantas Points until 31 Dec 2020, for a total of 3,150 points earned in the first month.
The points offer is valid for first-time subscribers only, and not available to those who’ve held a Kayo subscription in the past 12 months.
How do I earn Qantas Points with Kayo Sports?
- Sign up to your chosen Kayo Sports subscription through the Qantas Frequent Flyer partner link
- When prompted, add your Qantas Frequent Flyer membership details
- Points will be added to your account up to 10 days after receipt of payment
Note: Signing up through Qantas Frequent Flyer to obtain bonus points will negate your ability to start a 14-day free trial with Kayo. Your subscription fee will be charged immediately.
Summing up: is this a good deal?
This offer may entice those who like to stream sports games either live or after the fact. Let’s crunch the numbers, valuing Qantas Points at our current rates.
Having the $25 plan for a year will cost you $300 in total, you could get around $60 worth of points during the bonus promo period — that’s a 20% return theoretically.
| Qantas Points earned on the $25 plan over one year | Normal sign-up points (Standard offer) | Double sign-up points (Up to 31 Dec 2020) |
| Sign-up points | 1,000 pts | 2,000 pts |
| Recurring points | 1,200 pts | 1,200 pts |
| Total points | 2,200 pts | 3,200 pts |
| Approximate value | $41.80 | $60.80 |
For the premium plan, you’ll outlay $420 over 12 months. During the bonus sign-up period, you could get more than $90 worth of points back, which is also about 21% of the plan value.
| Qantas Points earned on the $35 plan over one year | Normal sign-up points (Standard offer) | Double sign-up points (Up to 31 Dec 2020) |
| Sign-up points | 1,500 pts | 3,000 pts |
| Recurring points | 1,800 pts | 1,800 pts |
| Total points | 3,300 pts | 4,800 pts |
| Approximate value | $62.70 | $91.20 |
For those who are into sports and going to sign up anyway, why not earn some Qantas Points along the way? However, if you aren’t into streaming sports, there are cheaper ways to earn bonus Qantas Points.
