Quandoo Referral Code

Most points currencies in this catalogue cannot be valued. This one can, because the record publishes the exchange rate directly.

The Quandoo referral reward is Loyalty Points, not cashback — redeemable against future dining through the platform. Those are different instruments: cashback is money returned, while points are a private currency whose value the issuer sets and can change.

But this record does something almost no points-based listing in the catalogue manages: it publishes enough to price them. It states that a new user can receive up to 900 Loyalty Points, "approximately A$13.50".

That gives the exchange rate directly: A$13.50 ÷ 900 = A$0.015 per point — one and a half Australian cents. And since the referrer earns 500 points per successful referral, the referrer's reward is 500 × A$0.015 = about A$7.50.

That single calculation is worth more than the rest of this page, because it converts a number designed to sound large into one that can actually be judged. "500 Loyalty Points" sounds substantial; "about seven and a half dollars off a restaurant bill" is the same thing, honestly stated — and it is possible to decide whether that is worth recommending a restaurant platform to a friend.

Note also the asymmetry: the new user gets up to 900 points (~A$13.50) and the referrer gets 500 (~A$7.50). The person being invited is paid nearly twice what the person inviting them receives, which is unusual — most programmes in this catalogue favour the referrer or split evenly.

And one restriction sitting in the record that matters for a platform operating across many countries: Loyalty Points cannot be transferred across markets. So points earned in one country do not follow anyone to another — worth knowing before accumulating a balance if moving, travelling frequently, or having earned them on holiday.

The record states no limit on the number of referrals, and describes the programme as available worldwide, though point values and availability will follow local markets rather than the Australian dollar figures above.

What actually matters when booking restaurants through a platform:

- The points are earned for booking and attending — so a no-show is the one thing that costs a point balance. It also costs the restaurant far more than it costs the diner: an empty reserved table on a busy evening is a real loss to a small business. Cancel if plans change — it takes ten seconds and is the single most useful thing any diner can do.
- Check whether the platform price matches the restaurant's own, and whether booking direct gets a better table or a better deal — many restaurants prefer direct bookings because they pay commission on platform ones, and some will say so if asked.
- And confirm what the points actually redeem against before counting on them — a minimum redemption threshold is common, and points below it are worth nothing at all until crossed.
