(TAN): Qantas customers can ‘fly now, pay later’ with a new payment option. Fliers will be able to book domestic and international flights on qantas.com using buy now, pay later provider Zip and earn Qantas Points.
Frequent Flyers will also be able to choose to earn Qantas Points through Zip’s loyalty program, Zip Rewards, when making some everyday purchases providing another way for members to maximise the points they earn.

Specifically, 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 AUD 3 spent on eligible flights on qantas.com with Zip.
Qantas Loyalty CEO Olivia Wirth said this is the first time the airline has partnered with a buy now, pay later provider to offer the payment option for flight bookings. “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,” Wirth said.
“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,” she added.
Zip ANZ Managing Director Cynthia Scott 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.
