Qantas Business Rewards is the airline’s loyalty program for businesses, offering flight discounts and points when employees fly Qantas. Businesses can also earn Qantas points via Qantas Business Rewards by spending with one of the program’s many partners.

But just like it does with its main frequent flyer program, Qantas for some reason continues to charge a joining fee if you want to sign up for the Qantas Business Rewards program. The standard joining fee is currently $89.50. (There are no ongoing fees once your business has joined.)

The good news is that there are ways to avoid paying the Qantas Business Rewards joining fee! Instead of paying $89.50 to join Qantas Business Rewards, your business can become a member for free in one of several ways…

Join Qantas Business Rewards during a promotion

As a limited-time offer, Qantas is currently waiving the Business Rewards program joining free when you register directly through the Qantas Business Rewards website.

This offer is part of a current promotion which is available until 31 October 2023.

Use a “free join” link

Even outside of special promotions, you can still save $89.50 on the Qantas Business Rewards join fee by using a “free join” link. Many Qantas Business Rewards program partners offer their customers the opportunity to join Qantas Business Rewards for free using their promotional links.

Even if you’re not already a customer of a particular program partner, you should be able to join the program at no cost by clicking on any of the following “free join” links:

• Join free via Harvey Normal Commercial Division
• Join free via NRMA
• Join free via Red Energy
• Join free via Gemcell Electrical Group
• Join free via Yellow
