If you’re not already a member of Qantas’ Aquire scheme for businesses, now’s the time to join: new members can pick up an easy 10,000 Aquire Points when signing-up from April 8 through to May 18, and all it costs is an $89.50 joining fee.
Aquire Points can be converted into Qantas frequent flyer points on a 1:1 basis, so that welcome gift quickly becomes 10,000 Qantas Points – enough for a one-way upgrade to business class on a short Sydney-Melbourne flight, or a return upgrade on the more-expensive flexible tickets.
A new web gadget has also been introduced to help business owners maximise their Aquire Points through money that they’re already spending, which also shows potential members how many Aquire Points they could be earning through the program.
