What is Greater Getaways?

Greater Getaways is a "Reward Points" style promotion similar to Airline Frequent Flyers, whereby the more money you borrow from the Greater Building Society, the more "Triangle Reward Points" you will accumulate.

These "Triangle Reward Points" can be traded for FREE ACCOMMODATION at over 200 Australian and International Destinations listed in our 2009 - 2010 Accommodation Directory.

Perhaps you like the bright city lights, or on the other hand you may enjoy the peace and tranquility of a country retreat.

Either way, Greater Getaways has a holiday to suit everyone's needs! From Adelaide to tropical North Queensland, to the South Pacific, Greater Getaways offers you a vast selection of hotel properties and resorts with up to five star quality!

Who is Eligible for the free holiday?

To be eligible for Greater Getaways Reward Points, you must have taken a new loan or refinanced an existing loan (with a Lender other than Greater Building Society) for a:

  • Residential Home Loan
  • Investment Loan
  • Construction Loan
  • Vacant Land Loan
  • "Add On" Loan over $20,000
  • Consolidation Loan
  • Mortgage Express Loan

Your Triangle Rewards Points are redeemable from the date that your loan is advanced.

  1. The free holiday (Greater Getaways) does not apply to Business, Commercial, Line of Credit, Great Rate Home Loans, pre-existing and converted Greater loans, or an add-on loan under $20,000. Terms, fees and conditions apply to all loans.
  2. Reward Points apply to Add-on Loans for a minimum amount of $20,000 and are calculated on the additional money advanced, not the full loan amount.
  3. For Construction Loans, the Reward Points are calculated on the Progress Payments advanced, not on the full loan amount.
  4. Refinances only apply to loans with a lender other than the Greater Building Society Ltd.

How do you earn Triangle Reward points?

When your qualifying loan is advanced, you will automatically be allocated a number of "Triangle Reward Points".

Like any reward system, the amount you borrow from the Greater determines the number of "Triangle Reward Points" you receive.

Triangle Reward Points" are allocated on the basis of one triangle for every $250 you borrow.

  • A $100,000 Home Loan would give you 400 "Triangle Reward Points".
  • A $150,000 Home Loan would give you 600 "Triangle Reward Points".
  • A $200,000 Home Loan would give you 800 "Triangle Reward Points".
  • A $250,000 Home Loan would give you 1,000 "Triangle Reward Points".

You have the option of saving these "Triangle Reward Points" and exchanging them for one night, or consecutive nights accommodation at any of the properties listed in our Greater Getaways Accommodation Directory.

How long are the "Triangle Reward Points" Valid?

"Triangle Reward Points" are valid for a period of two years from the date your loan is advanced. You can elect to use some of these "Triangle Reward Points" periodically, or all at once. You are able to exchange them for one night or consecutive nights accommodation.
