There are some exceptions to the triple-point offer. Firstly, in the case of Accor hotels, bookings through Qantas Hotels normally earn 4 points per dollar. For Accor Hotels, you will receive 9 points per dollar under this promotion, rather than the 12 points per dollar that would be the case if triple points were applied.
In addition, Classic Hotel Rewards will not earn the bonus. As these do not normally earn points, no points are offered under this deal. In addition, this offer is only for hotel bookings. For example, there are no bonus points on Airbnb bookings
If you are a Points Club and Qantas Business Rewards customers, the usual bonus will apply.
In the case of Points Club this is an additional 25% Qantas Points. For Points Club Plus members, an extra 50% Qantas Points is an offer. The effect of this extra bonus is that Points Club members will earn 11.25 points per dollar while Points Club Plus members will get 13.5 points per dollar.
For Qantas Business Rewards members the additional 3x points will apply. As such, it will work out to 12 points per dollar.
Qantas Hotels
Qantas Hotels is an accommodation booking service run through Qantas. It brings together over 200,000 hotels worldwide. One of its unique selling points is that it offers Qantas Points when using its service to book hotels.
While it also offers the opportunity to use points to make hotel bookings, this may not be the best use of points. As a result, we focus on the ability to earn points.
How many Qantas Points can I earn?
The standard earn rate at Qantas Hotels is 3 Qantas Points per $1 AUD you spend on your booking. However, they run promotions offering bonus points when meeting the requirements of the promotion.
When will I receive my Qantas Points?
Unfortunately, it does take time to receive your points through these bookings. First of all, you have to actually complete your stay. Then you need to wait up to 8 weeks for the points to post.
So, if you are looking for a quick boost to your points balance, this is not the place to be looking.
Is it a good deal?
In most cases, I book through the hotel chain of where I am staying – as this allows me to use the loyalty program of that chain. However, it is not always possible to do this – and this is where Qantas Hotels or other sellers, such as Hotels.com can provide options.
In the Hotels.com reward program, you earn 1 hotel night after each 10 that you stay. So effectively a 10% rebate on your hotel bookings. come in.
This generally works out better than the standard 3 Qantas Points per dollar on offer. However, with 9 points per dollar on offer, you may be swayed toward using Qantas Hotels for your booking.
Of course, the above assumes that prices are the same at Qantas Hotels as they are at other online booking sites. My experience is that there can sometimes be price differences. Sometimes it can be cheaper to book through Qantas Hotels, and sometimes more expensive. As always, it pays to compare prices from various online sites.
