How Live Payments Black Upgraded My Business Travel

Running your own business often means juggling long hours, frequent travel, and the demands of keeping clients happy. For Steve, a lawyer running a small legal firm in Perth, travel between Western Australia and the East Coast is just part of the job. But with Live Payments Black, those long, tiresome flights have transformed into a rewarding experience literally.

Meet Steve: A Lawyer on the Go

For the past five years, Steve has attended an annual legal conference on the east coast, in either Sydney or Melbourne. Alongside this yearly trip, his work has him flying back and forth for ad hoc meetings across Australia. In 2017 alone, Steve made the journey three times, spending hours in the air and days away from his family.

“I’ve never really been a fan of flying,” Steve admits. “It’s a necessary part of my business, but not something I look forward to. It’s time away from my family and my firm, and the costs add up.”

But despite the long flights and hectic schedule, Steve hesitated to upgrade to business class. Running his own firm and raising a family meant that every dollar counted. He preferred to spend the money on work benefits for his employees rather than splurging on luxury travel for himself.

How Live Payments Black Changed Everything

Nine months ago, Steve’s firm started using a Live Payments Black virtual terminal to process payments. The seamless system allowed Steve to earn 1 Qantas Point for every dollar transacted through the terminal. With his frequent flights in mind, Steve saw an opportunity.

“I realised that by processing payments through Live Payments Black, I could accumulate Qantas Points fast enough to upgrade my flights,” Steve says. “It was a no-brainer.”

Within six months of using the virtual terminal, Steve had enough points to upgrade his next flight to Melbourne this time, flying business class.

Business Class Perks for the Corporate Traveller

Upgrading to business class wasn’t just about the luxury for Steve it also made his trips far more productive.

“Flying business meant I could get a lot more work done on the flight,” Steve explains. “The extra space and quiet environment allowed me to focus and knock out tasks, which gave me more time to relax when I arrived.”

And the perks didn’t stop there. Steve enjoyed the full business class experience, including:

• Priority boarding
• Fast bag drop
• Valet parking
• On-board comfort with plenty of room to work or relax

“Flying business really adds that little bit of luxury you need when you’re constantly travelling for work. It feels like a well-deserved reward,” Steve says. “And now, thanks to Live Payments Black, I can enjoy these perks without worrying about the cost.”

The Power of the Virtual Terminal

Beyond just earning Qantas Points, Steve loves the convenience that the Live Payments Black virtual terminal offers. Accessible from any office computer, the virtual terminal allows his firm to process payments with ease.

“Our clients provide their credit card details, and we process everything securely from our own computer,” Steve explains. “It’s incredibly convenient. And each transaction helps us rack up more Qantas Points.”

Rewarding the Team

One of the features Steve appreciates most is the ability to transfer Qantas Points to any individual Frequent Flyer account.

“Being able to transfer Qantas Points is a fantastic way to reward my team,” Steve says. “Once I’ve upgraded my own flights, I can share the remaining points with my employees whether it’s a well-deserved holiday or an upgrade for them. It’s a great way to say thank you.”
