Aquire adds three new partners [and removes annual fee]

[markis10]

Aquire, Australia’s business rewards program, has welcomed three new partners - Harvey Norman Commercial, Storage King and MeeMeep, bringing the total number of Aquire partners to 20.


With a wide range of partners and benefits, Aquire Members could earn Aquire Points1 on business expenses. Businesses could earn Aquire Points every time their employees fly on eligible flights2 for business purposes while the employees continue to earn Qantas Points3 and Status Credits as they usually would.


The addition of these new partners highlights how Aquire continues to offer our SME customers greater rewards options beyond just their travel needs with Qantas.

Wonderful, other than Harvey Norman and Storage King were announced months ago

Might look at MeeMeep for eBay.

No annual fee? That's great news!

 

[blackcat20]

No annual fee? That's great news!

I guess the survey responses indicated that not many would renew otherwise...

 

[bismarck]

No annual fee is a great development. Would likely not have renewed otherwise.

Hope this is true....

“As a result of Aquire, we’ve also seen a significant increase in SMEs travelling with Qantas.”

 

[Mark3000]

Wow that is a positive step, no annual fee!

 

[Flying mermaid]

Wonderful - I was planning to renew for another year anyway, so this is a extra bonus!

This is me

I suspect some of the increase could be that Qantas now know how much individual SME's spend with them - they didn't have any idea what I spent before the Aquire program gave me a reason to let them know.

The news about no annual fee could almost do with its own thread, couldn't it? That's great news... more likely that I'll remain a member now.

I wonder how much this is in response to the survey they conducted.

I hadn't bothered joining, but now might.

I am very happy to hear Aquire has listened to reason... now I have the hard task of trying to earn my 20k this year

 

[JMFK]

Got the email too. Seemed inevitable, but you never know with Qantas!

Seems they're listening which is great news. I'll be sticking with Aquire now.

Just use my ABN samh004 and I'll credit the points back to you periodically....

(seriously though... I've suggested this a few times around the traps...)

^ I know I made that clear.

I guess I will be sticking around!

Got a bunch of partners in, no doubt on promise of great interaction with QFF members / associated business. The overwhelming sound of crickets, after we gobbled up the into bonus points offered, I think would have spurred them into action lest partners become unhappy and the spiel of the marketing strength of 10 million + members (and associated companies) starts unravelling.

 

[GoldCanyon340]

I'll be signing up now there's no annual fee.

 

[JessicaTam]

I'll be signing up now there's no annual fee.

There is still the joining fee:

There has never been a better time for SMEs to join Aquire, with the $89.50 joining fee just $50.00 until 3 February 2015. Qantas Loyalty has also removed annual fees associated with holding an Aquire account

I cancelled last week after removing the 10K bonus points-not much use as a sole trader with my flying frequency.
I would probably have stayed in if I'd known about the fee in case there were any more bonus points offers

 

[GoldCanyon340]

There is still the joining fee:

With a sweetener of 5,000 Aquire points on sign up. I'll take that.
