Qantas frequent flyer Points Auction returns
Qantas Frequent Flyer has announced a second online Points Auction, giving members the opportunity to use Qantas Points to bid on unique experiences.
Ten items will go under the hammer over nine days, such as a luxury trip to London, jet into Hamilton Island with more than 20 friends or own a piece of Qantas history.
The first auction kicked off with a luxury South Australian getaway.
It follows the inaugural Points Auction in August which saw frequent flyers bid for experiences including a 787 Simulator experience, a kids soccer coaching clinic with Socceroos Coach Graham Arnold and a private Qantas Dash-8 charter flight, all of which were hotly contested.
Qantas Loyalty CEO Olivia Wirth said that the second Points Auction was in response to demand from members.
"The response from our first was phenomenal. We saw tens of thousands of visitors to the auction site with our frequent flyers really embracing the opportunity to use their points to treat themselves," Wirth said.
"Throughout the pandemic frequent flyers have continued to earn points on the ground, and we’ll continue to provide new and unique opportunities for them to put their points to good use."
