Here's something most Australian business owners don't know: you can earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points from your everyday eftpos transactions.
Not from your personal credit card. Not from a business Amex. From the actual payments your customers make at your eftpos terminal. Every tap, every swipe, every transaction — earning you points that add up to flights, upgrades, and rewards.
Sound too good to be true? It's not. But you won't find this deal by walking into your bank.
How Does It Work?
Certain payment providers in Australia offer Qantas Points as a business perk. When you process transactions through their platform, you earn points based on your monthly turnover. The more you process, the more you earn.
The exact earning rate depends on your provider agreement and your transaction volume. We can't publish specific rates here because they vary from business to business — your deal is negotiated based on your unique situation. That's actually a good thing, because it means your arrangement is tailored to your business, not a one-size-fits-all rate card.
What we can tell you is that the earning potential is significant. We're not talking about a few hundred points a month.
Real Example: 720,000 Qantas Points Per Year
Glen, the owner of 4 Pines Noosa, came to us after years with his previous provider. He had no idea Qantas Points were even an option. We moved him to an exclusive deal through our provider network, and now he earns 720,000 Qantas Points every year just from his normal trade. Last year, he took his family to the States — fully on points.
"Eftpos Brokers showed us what we were leaving on the table," Glen told us. "That wouldn't have happened without Matt and the team."
Who Qualifies?
Qantas Points earning through eftpos isn't available from every provider, and not every deal includes it. Whether you qualify typically depends on a few things:
- Your monthly transaction volume. Higher-volume businesses generally get access to better Qantas Points deals. But even mid-sized businesses can qualify — it's worth asking.
- Your industry. Hospitality, retail, and service businesses with regular card transactions tend to be the best fit.
- Your provider. Only certain providers on our panel offer Qantas Points as part of their merchant agreement. This isn't something you can just add to your existing deal — it needs to be negotiated as part of the overall package.
The short answer: the only way to know if you qualify is to have a conversation. That's what we're here for.
Why Don't More Businesses Know About This?
Three reasons:
Providers don't advertise it widely. Qantas Points deals are typically offered as part of negotiated arrangements, not mass-market products. You won't see them on a pricing page.
Banks don't offer it. If you're with one of the big four banks for your eftpos, they don't currently offer Qantas Points on merchant transactions. You'd need to switch to a provider that does.
Most business owners don't think to ask. When you set up eftpos, you think about rates and terminals. Earning airline points from your payment processing just isn't on the radar.
That's exactly why an eftpos broker is useful. We know which providers offer Qantas Points, what the qualifying criteria are, and how to negotiate the best deal. You just tell us you're interested, and we do the rest.
What Else Can You Earn Besides Qantas Points?
Qantas Points are the big one, but they're not the only reward available through your eftpos:
- Cashback programs. Some deals include monthly cashback directly to your account based on your transaction volume.
- Eftpos Brokers Mastercard. Eligible clients may qualify for our exclusive Mastercard program, earning monthly cashback based on your business turnover.
- Rebates and credits. Certain providers offer introductory rebates or ongoing credits that reduce your effective processing costs.
- Local sponsorships. Through some of our arrangements, businesses can access local community sponsorship opportunities — like supporting your local footy club.
The point is: your eftpos terminal shouldn't just be a cost centre. With the right deal, it can be putting money (or points) back into your pocket every month.
How to Get Started
It's simple. Book a free consultation with us and mention that you're interested in earning Qantas Points from your eftpos. We'll review your current setup, check if you qualify, and show you exactly what's available.
There's no obligation. If we can't find a deal that includes Qantas Points and makes sense for your business, we'll tell you. If your current arrangement is already the best option, we'll say that too.
But if you're processing a decent volume of card payments and you're not earning Qantas Points, there's a good chance you're leaving value on the table.
