Flight Centre Travel Group has entered the rewards program marketplace, rolling out a new points-based loyalty program centred around core retail travel agency brands, Flight Centre, it’s luxury brand Travel Associates and Cruiseabout.

Dubbed World360 Rewards, the scheme brings together one of the largest travel partner networks in the Australia, spanning more than 500 airlines, 900,000 hotels worldwide, 40+ cruise lines, 300,000+ tours globally as well as 300+ everyday retail, financial, healthcare and lifestyle partners.

World360 Rewards combines the travel expertise of 2,500+ personal points hackers in-store with the simplicity of everyday earning and the scale of one of the world’s largest travel companies.  

“Travel is the point – or points – of this game-changing new loyalty program,” James Kavangh, Global Leisure CEO at Flight Centre Travel Group.

“With World360 Rewards you earn points on every flight, every fare class, every airline, as well as all the other important parts of your holiday booking including hotels, cruises, tours and experiences.

“It’s a no-regrets move where you can double and even triple-dip on the value of your whole holiday booking; earn World360 Rewards points, on top of earning any airline miles and credit card points.

“This triple-dip mechanic of World360 Rewards delivers one of the fastest paths to travel rewards in the Australian market and ultimately gets Aussies travelling more.”

Kavanagh said World360 Rewards would be a complementary program offering that doesn’t need to come at the expense of loyalty to your favourite airline.

“There are a number of well-established airline loyalty programs out there and we know Aussies have a deep love for these. The gap we identified is in making sure travellers are rewarded for the whole travel journey with more choice and opportunity to not just earn but redeem points across the whole holiday experience,” Kavanagh said.

World360 Rewards members will also be able to unlock three times the points with selected partners as part of a launch incentive, leveraging its valued network of travel suppliers. Airlines such as Air New Zealand and Fiji Airways; cruise lines including Regent Seven Seas and Viking; touring category favourites such as Collette are among 12 travel partners who are putting their best deals forward for World360 Rewards’ launch.

“These accelerated points earning boosters mean a member family booking a holiday with our participating travel partners can triple their points haul, significantly reducing the cost of future travel,” Kavanagh said.

“You can earn three times the World360 Rewards points and earn with your airline to maintain your status while also getting points with your credit card provider. No other program brings this together in one place.”

Members will be able to redeem their points as payment in part or full for their holidays and take advantage of a range of exclusively curated points-only travel deals in a custom-built Rewards Store like no other.

With redemptions starting from single day tours to full holiday packages, Kavanagh said the concept will open more accessible travel possibilities.

“World360 Rewards will feature a one-of-its-kind Rewards Store for exclusive points-only travel deals that can’t be found anywhere else.

“We’ve built the Rewards Store on the principle of more flexibility because it shouldn’t be restrictive to book travel.

“Travel is the point of our loyalty program and we hope to see more Aussies travelling more often with a loyalty program that opens your world with rewards.”

“I am so excited for our Travel Associates clients to explore the benefits of World360 Rewards,” said Rachel Kingswell, General Manager, Travel Associates.

“By becoming a member, they’ll be able to start earning and redeeming points on every single journey, and ultimately forge a path to going on their next holiday, even sooner.” 

Launch partners including ANZ, Bupa, Terry White Chemmart, July Luggage, Langtons, Hubby and Collinson and an additional 300+ retailers are available for points earning activity from today, accessible via the World360 Rewards app and an online marketplace of retailers.

A host of other retailers and travel partners are preparing for launch soon including more financial institutions to follow in 2026.
