Hoyts has teamed up with Qantas.
If you're a Silver member ($13/year, one movie ticket included), you earn 2 points for every $1 spent.
If you're a Bronze member (free), you earn 1 point for every $2 spent.
Plus, in an Australian first, Qantas Frequent Flyer members will also be able to redeem their Qantas Points for movie tickets and candy bar treats at HOYTS!
If you don't have a QFF membership yet, you can also join through Hoyts, for free.
No idea. But I get mine with Optus Perks… and they come in at $11.50/ticket (adults).
Try to go to one that charge you $15 a ticket from Optus perk. It is a much better experience for not much more.
Yay Im silver!
The value's not going to blow anyone's socks off, but nice to get some points for free! Probably a counter to Village's free rewards program which lets you clock up points pretty quickly and very visibly reminds you about the rewards you can redeem.
The HOYTS Dollars will still be accumulated for Silver members, so this is an additional benefit.
Seems like I can pick up flyers points almost anywhere now
Well, it's worth reflecting that Qantas' PRIMARY BUSINESS is now selling frequent flyer points — they make far more money from that than selling tickets for flights. Reflect on that. Qantas is officially a loyalty points company, with an airline as a side business.
that's insane.
reference for anyone interested: http://www.smh.com.au/business/aviation/qantas-frequent-flye…
Well, it's not quite like that. Even the linked article above says it will be 2020 before loyalty is the largest division - and that's with the flight profit spread amongst 3 other divisions (combined they way exceed loyalty).
From the latest stats, loyalty is the 3rd of 4, with Domestic first - $645m, Jetstar second - $417m, loyalty third - $369m, and international close at $327m.
As for your claim that "they make far more money from that than selling tickets for flights. Reflect on that. " that's completely wrong.
Revenue from flights was ~$15 billion. Revenue from loyalty was… $1.5billion. So only 10%
so question is, how much do we have to spend to make going silver worth it from a QFF point of view only. so say 0.65c (is that accurate?) value per point and $13 joining fee. and remebering silver earn 2 points per $1 and bronze earn 1 point per $2 so 4x earning rate.
You get a free movie ticket included. Valuing it at $11.50 with Optus Perks, membership costs $1.50.
If you earn 150 QFF points you would break even. Buy 4 more movie tickets with Optus Perks and you would more than break even.
movie of the week ticket only.
How much is a Hoyts ticket these days?
