How to earn Qantas Points with Woolworths Everyday Rewards
Want your Woolworths shopping to reward you with Qantas Points instead of Everyday Rewards points? Here’s how to do it.
Key takeaways
- Everyday Rewards can be automatically converted to Qantas Points.
- Switch to Qantas Points via your Everyday Rewards account to save $99.50 on the Qantas Frequent Flyer joining fee.
- You can convert 2,000 Everyday Rewards points into 1,000 Qantas Points, which are worth more than Everyday Rewards dollars off if used for flights.
- Combine earning Qantas Points with a frequent flyer credit card to earn more and prevent point expiry.
How can I earn Qantas Points through Everyday Rewards?
With Everyday Rewards, the default option is to get $10 off your shop at Woolworths or other partners when you have earned 2,000 points. You can switch to earning Qantas Points using the following steps:
- Log in to your Everyday Rewards account online or via the app.
- Click on "My Account" and then on "Rewards Choice".
- Select the Qantas Points option and follow the prompts to confirm your choice.
You'll need to provide your Qantas Frequent Flyer membership number to start earning points. If you haven't joined Qantas Frequent Flyer yet, you can sign up for free when you choose to earn Qantas Points through Everyday Rewards. This saves you $99.50 on the usual joining fee.
After setting this up, you'll get 1,000 Qantas Points added to your frequent flyer account once you have earned 2,000 Everyday Rewards points.
How many Qantas Points can I earn at Woolworths?
You earn a minimum of 1 Everyday Rewards point per $1 spent in-store and online at Woolworths, Big W, BWS and Ampol or Woolworths-Caltex branded service stations. This works out to 0.5 Qantas Points per $1 spent.
This isn't the most competitive earn rate, so you might want to also consider a Qantas Frequent Flyer credit card if you're looking to earn more Qantas Points on daily transactions.
Is it worth converting Woolworths Everyday Rewards Points to Qantas Points?
You can get more value from Qantas Points than Everyday Rewards Points, but it does depend on how you use them. Qantas Points offer the highest value when you redeem them for flights (including flight upgrades). 1,000 Qantas Points is typically worth between $15-$30 when used this way.
If you don't travel a lot or aren't actively earning Qantas Points in any other way, you might prefer to use Everyday Rewards to get money off your shop.
Example: Comparing the value of Qantas Points vs Everyday Rewards Points
To give you an idea of the value your points could give you, let's look at a one-way economy flight from Sydney to Melbourne.
- Points needed to redeem the flight: 9,200 Qantas Points.
- Cost if you paid for the flight: Typically between $150 and $400.
- Value of points: Every 1,000 Qantas Points would be worth between $15 and $25 for this reward (based on the cost if you paid for a flight).
In comparison, the value of 2,000 Everyday Rewards Points is $10 when you use your points to get money off your shop at Woolworths or another partner.
Important conditions to remember
- Opt in to Qantas Points. By default, your purchases will earn Everyday Rewards points. You’ll need to opt into the Qantas Frequent Flyer Points redemption offer if you’d like to convert your Everyday Rewards points for Qantas rewards.
- Points expiry. If you don’t have any activity in your Qantas Frequent Flyer account for 18 months, your Qantas Points will expire. Choosing to earn Qantas Points through your Everyday Rewards account can help you avoid losing your frequent flyer point balance.
- Eligible purchases. Note that the Everyday Rewards program only earns points on eligible purchases. This excludes gift cards, mobile phone cards, tobacco products, Internet cafés, cash withdrawals and selected services.

Hi, I registered for qantas frequent flyer card via woolworths rewards card.
How long will it take for qantas to provide me with membership number and I will get a card from them?
Thank you
Hi Robin,
Thanks for your question.
Usually registering for Qantas Frequent Flyer gives you a membership number instantly, but this process may take slightly longer as you’ve registered through Woolworths. You may want to check any communication you’ve received from Qantas regarding your membership or get in contact with the Qantas Membership Service Centre.
Once registered and been given your number you will be sent a Qantas Frequent Flyer membership card.
I hope this has helped.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

How do l activate my wow people discount card being a number 2 card holder
S
Hi Dav,
Thanks for your question.
If you have been issued a WOW people discount card ou would still activate the card the same way as normal via the Woolworths website. If you have the same card number as the primary cardholder then it will not need to be registered.
I hope this has helped.
Thanks,
Elizabeth
how do I renew my card
Hi,
Thanks for your question.
If your card is about to expire, Woolworths should automatically send you a new one. If you want to ensure that they will do so you can give them a call to confirm.
I hope this has helped.
Thanks,
Elizabeth
