Qantas Frequent Flyer is set to launch an online auction house, offering members a new way to burn Qantas Points through bidding on exclusive items. The Qantas Points Auction will initially see five unique experiences going under the hammer over five days.
There are five incredible experiences on offer, including a trip for four people to Queenstown worth $50,000 AUD:
- private charter flight to Byron Bay, Hamilton Island or Devonport inclusive of premium Qantas hospitality
- a luxury holiday for four people to Queenstown
- kids soccer coaching clinic with Socceroos Coach Graham Arnold
- spin in the 787 simulator with one of Qantas’ most experienced Captains
- two Qantas A380 Business class Skybeds to keep in the lounge room
How it works
The first points auction will start on Monday 2 August. One item will be auctioned off each day from 2 to 6 August 2021 between 8am and 9pm AEST. Note that auctions are only open to Australian residents who are Qantas Frequent Flyers aged 18 and over.
Members must place the highest bid by 9pm AEST and have the points available in their account to accept the item.
Based on the success of the first Points Auction, Qantas Frequent Flyer will look at sourcing more unique items exclusive to its members to be auctioned off throughout the year.
