Points Redemption Breakthrough

A long awaited "points redemption" solution was officially launched earlier this year where cardholder's can now redeem their American Express points and actually purchase travel products and services through DBT, rather than joining endless queues and battling for limited "FF seats" on partner airlines!

The new and innovative concept has been received well by cardholders however and as always, has raised questions about how the program operates.

QUALIFYERS: ONLY American Express-issued cards, enrolled with Membership Rewards Ascent or Choices are eligible to access Travelkey. Co-branded cards are not accepted and cannot be used for Travelkey *points conversions.

If you are unsure about whether you qualify, please drop us an email so we can get in contact with you.

*POINTS CONVERSION: Simply, your American Express Membership Rewards Ascent or Choices points are converted into cash (at the current conversion rate of 12,000 points = $AU100 - as at 24th July 2006)

WHO CAN USE TRAVELKEY FOR THESE PRODUCTS/SERVICE? Any one appointed by the Cardholder (in-chief, where supplement cards are issued)

WHAT CAN TRAVELKEY PURCHASE? Any travel product whatsoever. Flights, car hire, accommodation, holiday packages, cruises, dining & theatre packages, park entry fees, Qantas Frequent Flyer memberships, travel insurance, travel taxes and even agency booking fees! What's more is, transactions are carried out under normal booking conditions as if you were a fare-paying customer meaning no black-outs, you fly the choice of your own airline and travel where you want.

RESTRICTIONS: None, except those applied by an airline or other travel principals in conjunction with normal booking parameters, (conditions) commensurate with any disclosure clauses.

NB: Travel products and services are subject to availability at the time of reservation.

HOW DO I BOOK USING TRAVELKEY? Like any purchase in the travel industry, the key is to book early to be sure the product/service is available. And of course, to look for an early-bird or discounted fare.

DBT will look for Best Fare of The Day (BFOD) and apply it to your Travelkey purchase just as if you were having to pay for it yourself. We'll source the best fare and give options of alternatives where we see a saving or even something that'll be more logistically viable for you. You make the choice of where your Travelkey dollars go!

DBT-Travelkey customers receive all the "go without say" levels of service. Book your trip with DBT and enjoy First Class service of a well seasoned and professional TMC team - whether it be a business or holiday trip!
