Qantas Partners Zip to Offer Fly Now, Pay Later

(23 May 2022, 11:00 +07)  Qantas has partnered with Zip for a new payment option that allows travellers to fly now and pay for their tickets later.

Qantas customers can use Zip Pay or Zip Money as a payment option on both domestic and international Qantas flights departing from Australia booked through the airline's website.

“After two years of restricted travel Australians are making up for lost time. Domestic travel is back at pre-COVID levels while international travel is building back strongly to destinations like the US, Europe, Bali and Fiji,” said Qantas Loyalty CEO, Olivia Wirth. “The option to buy now, pay later through Zip gives our customers more choice in how they pay for their flights. With Zip they can spread the cost over time choosing flexible repayments, and also earn Qantas Points on the payment as well as the flight itself.”

New and existing Zip customers can also choose to earn Qantas Points through Zip Rewards by linking their Qantas Frequent Flyer account in the Zip app. As customers reach their Zip Rewards Goal they can choose to redeem a $20 Zip cashback or 500 Qantas Points.

Qantas Frequent Flyers can earn:

- 3,000 points when they sign up and link their Zip account and complete their first transaction;

- 500 points each time they reach their Zip Rewards goal (see below for further details);

- 1 point for every $3 spent on eligible flights on qantas.com with Zip.

Cynthia Scott, Zip ANZ Managing Director, said, “Zip is thrilled to partner with Qantas to transform the way Australians pay for travel. By giving customers access to Zip’s fair, flexible and transparent payment solutions, travellers can sit back and enjoy their trip knowing they’re in control of their finances when they get home. We are also giving freedom and choice back to customers by giving them the option to pay for their trip before they go, or when they get back. Plus, they can earn Qantas Points along the way. We want Zip to be the first payment choice everywhere and every day and partnering with leaders in travel like Qantas will help get us there sooner.”
