RedBalloon offers experiential gifts: usually exciting and unique travel experiences and activities. From its humble beginnings in 2001, RedBalloon has since sold millions of experiences, which often make great gifts.

So whether you’re spoiling someone special in your life, or simply treating yourself to a well-earned escape, here’s how to also max out on Qantas Points when buying experiences with RedBalloon.

How do I earn Qantas Points at RedBalloon?

RedBalloon is now a store on Qantas Shopping, after previously severing ties with Velocity Frequent Flyer. By using the Qantas Shopping online mall link before browsing Red Balloon, you could be earning at least 4 Qantas Points per $1 spent.

During special occasions, such as the Qantas Shopping Christmas Hub 2020, that rate might even jump higher. With us valuing Qantas Points at 1.9c each, that’s a return of around 8% on your purchase.
