To earn Qantas points: To be eligible to earn any points through Everyday Rewards, you must register your Card (see ‘How to register your Card’ above) and link your Card to your Qantas Frequent Flyer membership (see ‘How to link a Qantas Frequent Flyer membership to your Everyday Rewards Card’ below). If you are not a Qantas Frequent Flyer member, you can join the Qantas Frequent Flyer program by completing the Qantas Frequent Flyer membership application form. This form is on the Everyday Rewards Website. If you join the Qantas Frequent Flyer program through the Everyday Rewards Website or our Customer Service Centre, you will pay no joining fee.
To earn points you must present your Everyday Rewards card before the transaction is totalled at the register. Points cannot be earned or transaction cannot be reversed for the purposes of earning points if the Everyday Rewards card is not presented before the transaction is totalled.
You can earn:
One (1) point per dollar (supermarkets, Woolworths Liquor, BWS stores (excluding Tasmania), Big W Online and Cellarmasters); and

We continually review the offerings available to Everyday Rewards members. To ensure that Big W continues to deliver Australia’s lowest prices everyday to customers, Big W and Everyday Rewards have made the decision to change the number of points members will earn when shopping at Big W.
At Big W Online, members will earn to 1 point for every dollar spent and in Big W stores, members will earn 1 point for every $2 spent over $30.
Exclusions include selected purchases such as smoking/tobacco products, gift cards, BIG W Vision, DVD Kiosk purchases, bike building, cash outs, delivery and service charges, home delivery fees, lay-by fees, non merchandise fees, Big W Photo and BIG W Movie Rental.

If you complete the lay-by payment on or later than July 10th, for purchases made in-store, you will earn 1 point for every $2 spent above $30 and 1 point for every dollar spent for purchases made online.
