Customers in Australia can get Qantas Frequent Flyer miles for pre-ordering the Galaxy S7

We're seeing carriers try to lure customers with free accessories with a pre-order of the Galaxy S7 or the Galaxy S7 edge. Verizon is handing out the Gear S2 while T-Mobile promises a year's worth of Netflix. There's a very unique incentive for customers in Australia who pre-order the new Samsung flagships. Qantas, the country's top airline, is offering Frequent Flyer points to customers who place a pre-order. Last year Qantas partnered with Samsung to try a new entertainment service powered by the Gear VR headset. First class passengers got to try the Gear VR on its long-haul flights.

To take advantage of this offer customers in Australia have to pre-order the Galaxy S7 or the Galaxy S7 edge on Qantas Red plans from Vodafone which range from $80 to $130 per month. Customers can get up to 15,000 Qantas Frequent Flyer points upfront which is just enough for a free flight from Sydney to Melbourne. Customers need to be a member of the Qantas Frequent Flyer program to earn points. A joining fee might apply for non-members. Regardless of their status all customers will receive the Gear VR for free with each pre-order of the new handsets.
