Wherever possible and practicable, a person should ensure that frequent flyer points accrued by him or her are used to cover the cost of any travel under this Determination. Points may, however, be redeemed for a donation to charity, in accordance with the provisions of the relevant reward program, provided that no financial or taxation benefit accrues to the person who accrued the points.
Details of the usage of frequent flyer points accrued as a result of travel at Commonwealth expense and used under this Determination must be reported to the Special Minister of State in accordance with guidelines developed by the Special Minister of State.
