Qantas rewards diners

Qantas has struck a deal with a restaurant booking service enabling customers to earn frequent flyer points when making a booking at the likes of Rockpool, 1907, Sushia Izakaya and Bar, and Must Winebar.

Qantas Loyalty has partnered with dimmi.com.au, Australia's largest restaurant marketing and booking network, to allow members to earn Qantas points when eating out at more than 2,000 restaurants nationally.

Frequent Flyer members can earn 100 points per person when they book through qantas.com/restaurants.

Qantas Loyalty CEO Lesley Grant said the new scheme was another way for members to earn Qantas Points.

“Our research has shown us that the majority of our members have great enthusiasm for dining on a regular basis and do so both personally and professionally," he said.

"Previously, we had a modest earn opportunity with a select number of restaurants but the launch of the new Qantas Restaurants provides a more comprehensive list of restaurants to dine and earn points at.”

Dimmi chief executive Stevan Premutico said he was excited by the new Qantas partnership.

“With the addition of online bookings for restaurants with Qantas, the customer can plan with confidence and earn Qantas Points at the same time.”
