Qantas to offer cash payment option and flat fee for credit card payments

Qantas is to introduce a cash payment option on qantas.com and move to a flat fee for credit card payments from 24 May 2006.

Customers can purchase tickets, using BPay, up to seven days before departure.

Qantas Group General Manager Sales and Distribution Rob Gurney said that the airline’s credit card surcharge from 24 May would be $4.40 for domestic and trans-Tasman bookings and $12 for international bookings, charged per passenger per booking and covering all sectors in the booking.

“The change from our current percentage based credit card surcharge is simpler for customers, who will know from the outset the cost of using a credit card to buy an airfare.

“The flat rate will mean that some customers will pay less in fees,” he said. “For others the cost may be slightly more, however BPay will provide an alternative payment method where no fees apply.”
