Qantas launches new vaccine campaign

Free Qantas points, Status credits, or a year’s worth of complimentary flights, anyone?

Australia’s national carrier, Qantas, has unveiled big plans to encourage eager travellers to get the COVID vaccine with a range of new “mega” rewards.

Members will then be automatically entered into a mega prize draw to win a year’s worth of flights, accommodation and fuel.

Ten mega prizes will be up for grabs with a winner selected from each state and territory and two mega prize winners as part of a national TV campaign.

Qantas says, winners of ten mega prizes will receive a year’s worth of flights to take off to more than 60 destinations around Australia, with free accommodation across 345 Accor hotels, resorts and apartments (including Sofitel, Pullman, Peppers, Mantra, Mercure, Mövenpick, Novotel and Ibis) and top up their cars with free fuel from any of bp’s 1,400 service stations across the country.

Winners will also be able to take off to any Qantas and Jetstar international destination when borders start to open

Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce said the vaccine rollout was critical for protecting public health and key to breaking the cycle of lockdowns.

“Getting vaccinated is an important step that every Australian can take that brings us that little bit closer to life as we knew it.

Alan Joyce Said in a statement.

The process

Australians can claim their points, status credits or flight discounts and be automatically entered in the mega prize draw by downloading the Qantas App (via the App Store or through Google Play), using their Medicare app to access and upload their COVID-19 digital vaccination certificate and selecting their reward choice.  

The airline has confirmed that vaccination certificate information will be deleted upon verification.

Australian singer Tones And I made an exclusive rendition of her hit single “Fly Away” for Qantas’ ‘Be Rewarded’ campaign.

The campaign will run across TV, digital, outdoor, print and radio thanks to media support

U.S. investors are withdrawing money from domestic stocks at the fastest rate in 16 years, with $75 billion leaving equity products over the past six months. The trend accelerated in 2026, with $52 billion pulled from Wall Street so far.
