Flight Centre Travel Group has officially launched its ambitious new loyalty scheme, World360 Rewards, offering Australian travellers a fresh way to earn points on virtually every aspect of their holidays. The program, which went live on Wednesday, 3 December 2025, is designed to complement rather than compete with existing airline frequent flyer schemes.
A Comprehensive Points Program for the Entire Journey
According to James Kavanagh, Flight Centre Travel Group’s global leisure chief executive, the program fills a significant gap in the market. "Travel is the point of this game-changing new loyalty program," Kavanagh stated. He explained that World360 Rewards ensures travellers are rewarded for their entire holiday booking, not just flights.
Members can earn points on all travel booked across the group's brands, including Flight Centre, Travel Associates, and Cruiseabout. This expansive network covers bookings with more than 500 airlines (with no blackout dates), over 40 cruise lines, and a staggering 900,000 hotels, plus tours and experiences.
How to Join and the Lucrative Launch Offer
It is free to join World360 Rewards, with the app available for download from the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. However, a premium Member Plus tier is available for $249 per annum. This paid membership locks in 15,000 bonus sign-up points, airport lounge passes, delay protection, and exclusive experiences.
To kickstart the program, a launch incentive allows members to unlock three times the points with twelve selected travel partners. These include major names like Viking and Norwegian Cruise Line, touring companies Collette and Trafalgar, and Air New Zealand. "These accelerated points earning boosters... can triple their points haul, significantly reducing the cost of future travel," Kavanagh highlighted.
Earning and Redeeming Points with Unprecedented Flexibility
Beyond direct travel bookings, points can also be accrued through a network of more than 300 partners, ranging from ANZ bank to Bupa health insurance. The redemption process is equally flexible. Points can be used on any travel product available through Flight Centre, Cruiseabout, and Travel Associates, or for exclusive, points-only deals in the dedicated World360 Rewards Store.
"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," Kavanagh said. "No other program brings this together in one place." The program's core philosophy is to reward the complete travel journey, giving Australians more choice and opportunity to both earn and redeem points across their entire holiday experience.
