What Black Actually Is

Managed,
not metered.

At Black, the counting stops — for a simple reason: we want you flying more, not less. No seat allowance to track, no changes to ration, because every point earned, every seat found, every trip flown is the membership working. A higher cadence of travel — you come back rested, the family's happy, the work hums. That's the goal we manage to.

Your Business Class travel is included in the membership — found and booked with your points by a dedicated senior flight concierge expert, someone with the depth and experience to go further, search harder, and find options that a standard search will miss. It's matched to your points capacity and how you actually travel, not a quota.

But the seats were never really the point. Black is about arriving well — at the meeting that matters, the milestone you won't get back, the dinner table where everyone made it. Your business already pays for it; we route it to the front of the plane, for you and the people you travel with.

The engine · Your spend, working

Turn your business spend
into Business Class.

At $5M+ a year, your business moves serious money — cards, bills, payroll, BAS, suppliers. Black turns that spend into a points engine built for Business Class, at the volume a business and household travelling at scale actually need.

1
Map every dollar

We find which of your business payments can earn points — cards, bills, payroll, BAS, suppliers — and which are quietly earning nothing.

2
Earn at volume

We structure the right cards and programs so your spend earns points at full velocity — for co-founders and key people too, not just one account.

3
It becomes Business Class

Those points fund your Business Class travel for the year — the conferences, the client trips, the family's holidays — found and booked for you, at a fraction of the cash fare.

Max Miles First · A first for Australia

Book the flight first.
Earn the points back.

Reward seats vanish fast; earning the points can take a year. Max Miles First closes the gap — we advance the points, you earn them back. The Flights Club is the exclusive partner bringing Max Miles and HeyMax First to members in Australia.

1
Book the seat now

Secure the reward seat while it's available — no points needed in hand.

2
We advance the points

We front the points the booking needs — the seat is confirmed in your name.

3
You earn them back

Your spend earns them back over time, on the strategy we build with you.

When we find a suitable reward seat, Max Miles First advances the miles and we book it — securing your flight. Reward-seat availability still applies and we never promise a specific outcome. Eligibility applies and it's available on certain points types; we'll guide you on what works for your programs. Advance terms apply.

First-year value, illustrated$100,000+

Plus The Points Travel OS, the Velocity Gold tier jump with 20,000 bonus points, Qatar Avios & Qrewards, your 1:1 with Steve Hui, and the Max Miles for Business.

That's the small print — and ten seats is example maths, not an allowance. We don't count your seats because we want the number going up. The more you fly, the happier we are.

Partner benefit values as published (Pay.com.au Premium $1,980; ALL Accor+ Explorer $349); partner conditions apply. Fee and flying figures are an example of ten return seats across the year — say six business seats (two conferences, suppliers, an offshore team) plus a family holiday for four — at the Rest-of-World concierge rate of $950 per seat, each way ($1,900 per return seat = $19,000); fees are lower on shorter routes. Changes and cancellations are valued as re-bookings that would otherwise carry a new booking fee at standard rates (two in the example = $3,800). Retail fare range is typical for long-haul return Business Class; the seats are flown on your points, so the flying figure is what those seats would cost in cash, not a cash payment. Savings depend on routes, availability and points balances and are not guaranteed. Black bookings are managed to your points capacity and reasonable use — generous and relationship-led.

Your Business Class year, managed — business and personal
  • Your seats found and booked for you, all year — no seat count to track, no per-booking fee. At standard concierge rates, each return Business Class seat alone is up to $1,900 in booking fees — covered by your membership.
  • Change or cancel freely when plans move — on the points reward bookings we manage (not cash tickets), a changed or cancelled flight returns to you rather than being used up. We don't count changes either: you're busy, plans move, and the membership exists to absorb that — maximum flexibility and optionality, no penalty from us, no lost seat.
  • Secure now, improve as it comes — your senior concierge can keep improving a booking after it's secured, moving to a better routing or seat if availability opens.
  • And the seats fly on points, not cash — seats that retail for $8,000–$15,000 each, paid for with the points your business already earns.
What Black looks after

Two wings to the
same membership.

In the Air

Your business spend, made to fly.

  • Complete reward seat concierge, booked with your points
  • Flexible planning across family, business partners and key people
  • A dedicated senior flight concierge expert
  • Managed Max Miles
  • The full Explore and Platinum stack, included
  • Flights Club Travel & Experiences access
On the Ground

The life the flying serves.

  • Your Annual Flight Plan
  • Travel mapped around family, milestones and business
  • The Platinum & Black member community
  • Private member dinners, roadshows and events
  • Curated journeys and experiences, across points and cash
Once a year

Your Annual
Flight Plan.

Once a year, we sit down with you and map the travel year ahead — the business travel that has to happen, and the personal trips it can fund.

The conference season.
The supplier you need to see in person.
The quarterly visit to your offshore team.
The school holidays. The anniversary.
The trip the family keeps postponing.

Then we route the spend, points and booking strategy so the year flies properly. And when the year wants more points than the business earns, Max Miles can build them on subscription — and the household can earn its own at home with House of Points.

Is Black Right For You?

Black is right for you if…

Black is selective — before we accept a member, we confirm the points engine can support the year. The detail is in the note below.

  • Your business spends $5M+ a year — and you want every dollar of it working.
  • You fly Business Class often — and want every trip found and booked, nothing counted.
  • You want flexibility built in — free changes on points bookings, seats secured early.
  • You want the full picture — strategy, bookings, experiences, and the room.

A note on the points requirement: To join Black, we confirm your business is generating — or has the capacity to generate — enough points to support your business and household Business Class travel across the year. This is not a guarantee of outcomes. It is a qualification step that protects your investment. If your points engine is not yet there, we will tell you honestly and show you the path to get there — which may mean starting with Platinum first.

What’s Included

Everything in Black

Black includes everything in Explore — the full base membership — plus travel managed at scale, flexibility on every booking, and senior expertise:

What Black adds — travel at scale
Your Business Class travel, managedNo seat count to track — booked with your points+
Black isn't a seat allowance to count down. We look after your business and household Business Class travel for the year — book returns or one-ways, however your travel falls. Your senior flight concierge expert finds and books each one with your points; you pay the points and airline taxes, never the retail fare, and there's no per-seat booking fee.Managed around your points capacity and how you actually travel — generous and relationship-led, not unlimited.
Change plans without countingChange or cancel freely when plans move+
Plans move — so change or cancel freely, without rationing. This applies to the points reward bookings we manage (not cash tickets); a changed or cancelled flight returns to you, rather than being used up.
Secure now, improve as it comes+
We lock in a confirmed seat so your trip is certain, then keep looking — and if a better option opens up, we move you to it.
Dedicated senior flight concierge expert+
A senior specialist from our flight concierge team, assigned to your account. The same person looks after you every time — no handoffs. They search deeper and uncover options a standard search often misses: complex itineraries, partner programmes, and hard-to-find availability.
No quota to lose+
There's no allowance to use up or forfeit. Black is managed around the travel you actually do — a lighter year simply means you travel less, never that you've wasted a benefit.
Points splitting — co-founders & executives+
Where multiple founders earn points from the same business spend, we structure your strategy so each co-founder's account is optimised — maximising total earn and redemption value. We can also map the right structure to extend points benefits to key shareholders or senior executives, without duplication or waste.
1:1 Points Travel Strategy Session with Steve Hui+
One dedicated session to review your points position, update your Blueprint, and plan your redemptions.
Max Miles+
Book now, even before you’ve earned the points. Two ways to get ahead: Max Miles First advances the points a Business Class booking needs, so you secure the reward seat now and earn them back over time — instead of waiting a year of spend to qualify. And you can build points on a subscription basis, without having to route your spend through a particular card or payment path first. The Flights Club is the exclusive partner bringing Max Miles and HeyMax First to members in Australia. Eligibility criteria apply and it works on certain points types; we’ll guide you to the best use for your programs.
Max Miles for BusinessReward & incentivise clients and suppliers+
Black unlocks the Max Miles for Business — the ability to use points at scale as a business currency, to reward or incentivise your clients and suppliers. Points become a tool for relationships and growth, not only your own travel.A capability and access benefit, not a promise of unlimited or discounted points. Deliberately excludes staff and team incentives (to keep it clear of fringe-benefits-tax issues) — we'll map the right structure for your business.

Member Community

A private room.

Owners who get it, at the same table. Platinum and Black members share a private community — separate from Explore — where the conversation is equal parts business and the life it's meant to buy. Dinners where the person beside you understands the year you've had. Trips your family still talks about. And the first thing new members mention isn't the seats — it's that dinner conversation changes: from what the business needs to where you're going next.

The Standard We Hold
“The measure of Black is simple: you shouldn’t have to think about the seat. You tell us where the business needs you, and it’s found, booked on your points, and changed without fuss when the plan shifts. When it’s working, it’s quiet — you just arrive, at the front of the plane, ready for whatever you came for.”

Common Questions

Before you decide

Do you buy the flights for us?+

No — and that's the point. Your membership covers our strategy and booking service. We find Business Class reward seats and book them using your points; you pay the points and the airline taxes and carrier charges, which is why the seats cost a fraction of the retail fare. We never sell or supply airline tickets.

Can I change or cancel a booking?+

Freely, when plans move — there's no allowance to count. A changed or cancelled flight returns to you, rather than being used up.

What if I travel less one year?+

Then you travel less — there's no allowance to use up or forfeit. Black is managed around your actual travel, not a quota, so nothing is wasted.

What's the points requirement to join?+

We confirm your business is generating — or has the capacity to generate — enough points to support your household's Business Class travel across the year. If your points engine isn't there yet, we'll tell you honestly and show you the path — which may mean starting with Platinum first.

With no seat count, is there any limit?+

Black is managed on a fair-use basis. There's no seat count to track, but the membership is designed around your own business and household travel — matched to your points capacity and how you genuinely travel across the year. It's generous and relationship-led, not an unlimited allowance, and it isn't a service for reselling or booking on behalf of unrelated parties. We agree the shape of a normal year with you up front, and if a pattern of use falls well outside it, we'll simply have a conversation. In practice, members find there's more flexibility here than they'll ever need.

What if you can't find a seat on my route?+

Reward-seat availability depends on route, timing, and flexibility. Your senior flight concierge expert searches across up to 12 airline partners, and we prefer 3 to 6 months of lead time for international trips. We'll always tell you honestly if a request looks unlikely — we never promise specific seat outcomes. And if a reward seat isn't available, our Flights Club Travel Agency can find you the sharpest cash price, so the trip still happens.
