SYDNEY, 2016-Oct-28 — /Travel PR News/ — The Frequent Flyer program of Australia’s ‘Flying Kangaroo’ has teamed up with a ‘roo’ of a different kind to give its members a new opportunity to be rewarded.
Qantas Frequent Flyer members in Australia will now be able to earn two Qantas Points for every dollar they spend with Deliveroo when ordering a meal from their favourite local restaurant.
Deliveroo is the latest online company Qantas Frequent Flyer has partnered with as it responds to the changing behaviour of its members who are increasingly making everyday purchases online. It is the first time Qantas Frequent Flyer has added an online food delivery company to its list of partners.
Qantas Loyalty CEO Lesley Grant said Deliveroo will be an exciting addition for food lovers within its member base and the partnership signals Qantas’ continued interest in data-driven innovation.
“Food is the second most popular interest among our members after travel so we think they’ll be delighted to discover they can now earn points when they order food from their favourite restaurants through Deliveroo,” Ms Grant said.
“We know consumers are increasingly moving online to make their purchases so we need to make sure we’re giving Qantas Frequent Flyers new opportunities to earn with partners like Deliveroo that make it quick and easy for them to earn points online and through their mobile devices.”
Levi Aron, Country Manager, Deliveroo Australia said: “The Deliveroo and Qantas partnership is an exciting way for our customers to extend their foodie experience outside of their home or office and eat their way around the world. It’s important for Deliveroo to identify partnerships that give our loyal customers rewards that are relevant to them and we see immense potential in this unique partnership that combines food and travel.”
To earn Qantas Points with Deliveroo, Qantas Frequent Flyer members need to download the Deliveroo app or go to deliveroo.com.au, click on My Account and enter their Qantas Frequent Flyer details into the Qantas tab.
Members can earn additional points by paying for their order with a Qantas Points earning credit card[1]. They will earn points on their Deliveroo order and again on their credit card spend.
