The Qantas Frequent Flyer program and Westpac Banking Corporation introduces a new credit card. This is called Earth Platinum and it offers holders the benefits of two cards linked to single account.
It has been said by the CEO of Qantas Frequent Flyer that Westpac’s Earth Platinum was the first of the new cards the company would unveil ahead of changes to the Frequent Flyer program from 1st April, 2009.
One important thing is that Qantas members will get the opportunity to earn points twice from one transaction.
The company has 350-plus partners that span airlines, cars, hotels etc. that includes real estate also.
I am citing a part of the news release here:
“With these Westpac card products members can maximize the benefits of the Qantas Frequent Flyer program by seamlessly earning points on every day purchases and building points in their Qantas Frequent Flyer account,” Mr Hickey said in a statement.
“Qantas members also have the opportunity to earn points twice from the one transaction – once on their card and once with other program partners when they use their card to make a purchase from any of our 350-plus partners that span airlines, cars, hotels … and real estate.”
