How Can I Start Redeeming My Points?

Very easy. Simply call (02) 9362 4622 during office hours to speak with one of our experienced travel consultants - be sure to mention Travelkey. Once you've securely provided us with your card membership details, we'll advise the dollar value your points are worth. After that it's up to you to tell us where you'd like to go! If you only have enough points for part of your booking, you can simply pay the difference. Obviously if you choose to pay the balance with your American Express card you'll be earning more points toward your next holiday.
