The G’day Parks and Discovery Parks network of caravan parks, campsites and holiday accommodation is the largest of its kind in Australia. Boasting over 280 properties from coast to coast, guests have a diverse choice of beachside stays, mountain getaways, city breaks and more. And if you want to get the most out of your next escape – and enjoy perks on future holidays – you’ll be a happy camper with the G’day Rewards loyalty program.

Here’s everything you need to know about the program, plus how to earn Velocity Points or Flybuys points from your stay.

What is G’day Rewards?

G’day Rewards is the loyalty program of the G’day Parks and Discovery Parks network in Australia. These two brands are owned by the same group and form Australia’s biggest network of independently-owned caravan and holiday parks. A G’day Rewards membership allows you to track your stays, and unlock benefits when you book directly at any of the properties.

What are the benefits of being a G’day Rewards member?

Aside from ‘mates rates’ at over 280 accommodation options across Australia, all G’day Rewards members receive access to exclusive partner deals and member-only offers, plus access to the free digital G’day Magazine.

There are a host of additional in-park benefits too, depending on your tier. We break down the three tiers of the G’day Rewards program below.

Mate – on joining the program

  • 10% off discount, up to $50
  • One free early check-in or free late check-out or free bag of ice (per year)
  • One free park equipment hire per year

Great Mate – stay at least 10 nights, or 3 separate stays

  • 10% off discount, up to $50
  • One free early check-in or free late check-out or free bag of ice (per stay)
  • Three free park equipment hires per year
  • One free upgrade per year

Great Mate – stay at least 20 nights, or 6 separate stays

  • 10% off discount, uncapped
  • Free early check-in, free late-check out and free bag of ice on every stay
  • Six free park equipment hires per year
  • Two free upgrades per year
  • One extra night per year

How much is a G’day Rewards membership?

A two-year membership to the G’day Rewards program costs $50. Seniors over 60 years of age enjoy a 20% discount, with a two-year membership priced at $40.

Bear in mind that many of the program’s benefits are awarded per year, and the membership fee covers a two-year period – so you can easily offset the cost of the program in this timeframe. The same goes for discounts. The program’s first two tiers cap the 10% discount at $50, and, depending on the cost of your accommodation, you could essentially cover the membership fee with just one stay.

How do I redeem my G’day Rewards benefits?

Redeeming your G’day Rewards membership benefits is easy. When booking online or over the phone, simply place a request for early check-in, late check-out or a free bag of ice. Before your stay, get in touch with the property to re-confirm your request, particularly if you’re looking forward to checking in early.

If your membership tier entitles you to a free night or free upgrade, you’ll need to request this at the time of booking, too.

Free equipment hire can be organised at the park, and is subject to availability.

How do I join G’day Rewards?

To join the G’day Rewards program, simply sign-up online or download the G’day Rewards app. As this is a paid loyalty program, you’ll need to complete payment when you sign-up.

You can access your digital membership card via the G’day Rewards app. Alternatively, you’ll receive an email upon joining that contains your membership number, which can be quoted when booking over the phone.

How do I maximise my rewards?

G’Day Rewards has a handful of program partners, giving you even more value from your membership.

Earn Velocity Points at G’day Parks and Discovery Parks

Thanks to G’day Parks’ and Discovery Parks’ partnership with Velocity Frequent Flyer, you can collect Velocity Points when you book an eligible stay across the brands’ network. And, while you don’t have to be a G’Day Rewards member to earn Velocity Points, you’ll pocket more points as a member of both loyalty programs.

All Velocity Frequent Flyer members earn two Velocity Points per $1 spent on qualifying stays at any G’Day Park or Discovery Park. Bookings must be made via the G’Day Parks website, Discovery Parks website or the G’Day Rewards app only, and you must enter your Velocity member number during the checkout process.

Note that you’ll need to book directly on the platforms above to earn Velocity Points. Bookings made through third-party providers such as Booking.com won’t award you with Velocity Points (or count towards your total stays!) The above earn rate applies to bookings made without a G’day Rewards membership, as it’s possible to complete your booking as a ‘guest’ (but still enter your Velocity number.)

But if you’re a Velocity Frequent Flyer member and a G’day Rewards member, you’ll earn a whopping four Velocity Points per $1 on bookings. For this one, ensure you’re logged into your G’day Rewards account when booking, then enter your Velocity Frequent Flyer number during checkout. Similarly, this earn rate only applies on direct bookings.

Given that the Velocity Frequent Flyer program is free to join, this tip can have you earning rewards when you next stay at a G’day Parks or Discovery Parks property at no extra cost.

Earn Flybuys points at G’day Parks and Discovery Parks

G’day Parks also has a partnership with Flybuys, allowing you to earn Flybuys points when you book at participating Discovery Parks or G’day Parks accommodation.

For non-G’day Rewards members, you’ll earn two Flybuys points per $1 by entering your Flybuys number during the checkout process. You’ll need to book online directly with G’day Parks, Discover Parks or via the G’day Rewards app – you won’t earn rewards when you book a property via a third party.

With a G’day Rewards membership, you’ll earn even more Flybuys points on eligible bookings – five Flybuys points per $1, to be exact. You must link your Flybuys account to your G’day Rewards account, then follow the prompts to enter your Flybuys number during checkout.

Pay for your booking using a points-earning credit card

A credit card that earns frequent flyer points can help you earn rewards from your everyday spend – whether you’re working towards a lofty goal like flying Qatar Airway’s Qsuite or seeking a dreamy escape to Cappadocia.

But when you’ve got a holiday to book, the costs can certainly add up. Here’s where a points-earning credit card comes in handy. Or, go one better with a card that offers a generous stash of bonus points, like the one below.

Summing up

The extensive network of G’day Parks and Discover Parks properties across Australia means that there are plenty of opportunities to earn and redeem perks as G’day Rewards member. If you frequent these brands, the joining fee can offset the benefits you’ll receive with a two-year membership, particularly with the allure of free upgrades, free nights and late check-out. Plus, the ability to double-dip with Flybuys or Velocity Frequent Flyer means you can earn even more rewards on your next stay.
