    Done….Thank you!

    • zqudlyba on 16/04/2016 - 14:27

      I don't frequently fly. Last time I rode on a plane was back in 1988.

      Would the frequent flier be of benefit to me even if I don't fly often?

      • illumination on 16/04/2016 - 14:32

        Post your question properly (i.e. not as a reply to the first, completely unrelated comment).

        Actually, this is free. You could just apply anyway.. It doesn't cost anything.

        edit: just realised you're really new. I'll be nice but don't make a habit of doing that.

        As I said above, it's free, so you don't lose out. I'd say for many ozbargainers they would probably accrue the majority of their points from credit card bonuses and expenditure. So yes, you definitely don't need to fly for this to be worthwhile.

          Neggers - may I ask why the negs? User improperly piggybacked off first comment to squeeze a question in. Can you imagine if everyone on here did the same just to get a question answered?

        Yes, there are many ways to earn points without flying. And many ways to spend the points without flying. It's free to join…so nothing to lose.

    If you have a Woolworths rewards card, then I would recommend linking it to your QFF membership.

    • [Deactivated] on 16/04/2016 - 11:36

      I think they've parted ways?

        I think you're correct.

      • Hoju on 16/04/2016 - 11:49

        You can choose Qantas points or Woolworths dollars. From memory it's 870 Qantas points or $10 Woolworths credit

      • Smigit on 16/04/2016 - 11:51

        I thought they ended their relationship in December. That said, last week in my email the Woolworths offer included the ability to get Qantas FF points if you spent X amount, so I'm not sure if they're working together again to some capacity?

      Become a Qantas Frequent Flyer member and receive your Frequent Flyer membership number instantly. Complete the online application form and start earning Qantas Points.

      To join, Australia and New Zealand residents need to pay a joining fee of:

      Australian residents - AU$89.50 (including GST)

    • CacheHunter on 16/04/2016 - 15:22

      Yes, I paid $60 to join back in the mid 90s, before I knew about ozbargain. Unfortunately, there wasn't an equivalent (at least that i knew of) back in the days of fidonet.
      Only 50% inflation in 20+ years.

      The scheme just gets worse and worse too…

      "Good news! We're changing our system to be 'simpler' and it means your points are now worth a lot less!"
      "Congratulations! You're points will now expire in half the time, and we won't tell you when we are taking them!"
      "Don't worry, if you don't fly every year then you'll lose them all but you can keep your account active, just shop at Woolworths… haha nope, we're taking that away too!"

      I used to fly long distance with Qantas every month for years and lost 250,000 worth of points to these idiots because they messed up where the points are allocated to and I was too busy working in remote countries to watch my stupid Qantas account of all things… my mistake I guess, but no understanding at all from Qantas, a big F-you! to 20 years of loyal flying…

      So I took all my business to a competitor, and my whole team too. They only get my business if it's an outrageous special now. "Loyalty program" my shiny metal butt!

      • Bellpop on 16/04/2016 - 13:41

        yeah it's funny how aussie companies think they can treat their customers with contempt, then whinge when international competitors come in & people switch.

        I still get monthly emails from Delta telling me I have 20,000 flyer miles which I earnt flying KLM 20+yrs ago.

  • ksj 007 on 16/04/2016 - 12:03

    Sorry to know that there is joining fee now as I joined a few years ago, there was no joining fee. I can't understand why they set a joining fee.

    • grasstown on 16/04/2016 - 17:48

      The first time they scrapped the joining fee was when they joined with woolworths card. Up until then it was 89. Since then you can always get free with woollies, but occasionally free straight out. I might be wrong,

      • lainey13 on 17/04/2016 - 20:36

        For years before the Woolies partnership it was actually free for people living overseas… what a rip off right??

    • blerk on 17/04/2016 - 09:55

      Makes people feel it has value, much like overinflated RRP prices when it is never sold at that price.

  • CrazyBargainer on 16/04/2016 - 12:12

    Does anyone know if the membership must be individual. I mean, I already have the membership. Should my wife sign up as well or we can share my membership when earning points? Asking because SignaporeAIr etc. don't allow to share it.

    • kfuerza on 16/04/2016 - 12:23
      +2

      No. FYI to my knowledge none of the FF do. The number is toured to the name. BUT…Qantas does allow you to transfer points to another account if they are family. Get your wife her own FF number then transfer the points across when you need them. If you have kids get them signed up too.

      Summary of transfer rules can be found here:
      http://www.ausbt.com.au/how-to-transfer-qantas-frequent-flye…

      • CrazyBargainer on 16/04/2016 - 12:31

        I will. Thanks.

        Virgin (Velocity) allows family pooling so points and status credits earned by my kids go to my account.

        • davidmwilliams on 17/04/2016 - 09:44

          To clarify though for others, to get family pooling the family members must still have their own memberships. They can't put your number down when they accrue points.

  • aerona on 16/04/2016 - 12:18

    This would of came in handy for the Japan tickets deal. Can we still redeem the points?

    • illumination on 16/04/2016 - 12:34
      +7

      You'll of to ask Qantas. Not sure whether they can apply it retrospectively.

    • Smigit on 16/04/2016 - 12:43
      +2

      I was under the impression you could add your card to the booking up to the flight date and then for a period after to claim the points.

      I went to Europle last year and the travel agent hadn't added my virgin velocity card number to the booking. Did it after I got back.

    • viral on 17/04/2016 - 11:36

      As Smigit said, you can add your frequent flyer number up until you fly - just go Manage your bookings on the QANTAS website (you need your booking reference number and the Surname of whoever booked the flight).

      You can also retrospectively claim for flights up to 30 days ago.

      • aerona on 17/04/2016 - 12:15

        Thank you! Will contact the chat

  • protozeroxx on 16/04/2016 - 12:21

    So I don't have Membership but can someone tell me what the points are used for? I assume you go to woolies, purchase stuff, get points and use them on flights but what's the points to flights exchange rate?

    • kfuerza on 16/04/2016 - 12:27
      +1

      Free flights. You could use them for retail purchases but… The rate of return is not that great. The main advantage is linking the number to eligible credit cards so you get points for everyday purchases that could get you free our reduced fares.

    Qantas need to drop this 'pay to join a loyalty program' thing. It's outdated, and has clearly been free through a number of avenues for a while.

      There are lots of credit card deals that pop up on OzB. giving you a large lump of QFF miles for signing up.
      Plus credit cards that give you miles for spend. See https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/credit_card_guide .
      And search OzB. under 'Deals' 'Financial'

    • Peck on 16/04/2016 - 15:34

      Thanks, I was expecting to get negged badly, that's why I put in the disclaimer that I thought that most would already have membership. I thought that all Woolies customers would have already gotten it free through Woolworths Rewards.

    • illumination on 16/04/2016 - 16:01

      Yea I recall most "complimentary Qantas membership" deals not getting very positive feedback either, so I'm surprised by this too.

      It's not "everyone knows it's free" (because it isn't, usually). It's just that there are usually many different ways to get it for free, even when Qantas don't offer membership for free themselves. I even recall there being a page (on Point Hacks?) that summarised all the different ways you could get free QFF membership for free.. and there were about 20 different ways.

    • Charity on 17/04/2016 - 04:16

    This deal keeps getting posted every few months here. I'm surprised it fetches so many votes each time… do we have more and more ozbargainers come on board each day? The free QF membership is 101 of ozbargain (i would have thought).

  • SaberX on 18/04/2016 - 17:23

    It's an once off joining fee (normally) right? Joining won't subject me to annual membership fees? And if i dont fly qantas normally is there normally programs or affiliate programs that make accumulating and redeeming qantas FF points (for non-flying purposes) worth signing up?

    • Peck on 18/04/2016 - 17:40

      Correct, 'once off' fee / 'fee free' :) to join. Sign up now, and then do the research.
      The best way that I know of to accumulate FF points is through credit cards - especially the bulk FF points for signing up, but also the ongoing points for usage accumulate quicker than you would think.
      Check out https://www.qantas.com/fflyer/dyn/qantas-points-partners/ear…. And for redemption check out https://www.qantas.com/fflyer/dyn/program/welcome (Hotels, Qantas store etc).
      Qantas points expiry is very good too! "Your Qantas Points won't expire provided you earn or use Qantas Points through your account at least once every 18 months. This includes earning or using Qantas Points."

      • SaberX on 18/04/2016 - 17:59

        So i guess the next main question is are the redemtpion items well worth it? If other members have historically found it to be the case then certainly worth adding another 'free' membership to the drawer :)

  • abh_gup on 11/05/2016 - 01:20
