To receive each instalment of Qantas Points, the qualifying premium must remain the same and payments must be up to date. Not available to existing Qantas Assure Life Protect policyholders or those who have held a Qantas Assure Life Protect policy within the last 12 months. Offer may be withdrawn at any time.

    Thanks OP. Is 25% the best sale they do for these? I know I need to go to the US in April/May next year but am happy to wait if they do a better sale / or buy normal fare with points when they are on sale for $900. Can anyone recommend the best use of my 150k points?

    • noyesmaybeok on 23/05/2017 - 10:43
      +2

      Don't buy economy! Points + taxes = almost what economy ticket costs anyway.

      Depending if you can get more points could do Business class return.

      Alternatively, check out oneworld RTW fares. That's 130,000 points for economy from memory. Up to 5 stopovers and 15 segments. Only a bit more than a return flight, and you could go Asia, Europe, Americas + 2 other places on the same ticket :) Best value by far IMO. Tons of availability for economy.

      • jjjaar on 23/05/2017 - 11:12
        +2

        Ok but if I have points and no $$ then it's not the cost of an economy ticket because I can't afford an economy ticket…

        • singhdingaling on 23/05/2017 - 12:04

          Use points to get the economy tickets, pay the taxes.

          Then use more points to upgrade the economy ticket to business.

        • tuvz on 23/05/2017 - 13:13

          Sell the points and buy the ticket :)

      • yl001 on 23/05/2017 - 12:13

        Hi, Rochow, what's the normal taxes $ for return from Sydney to maybe Hongkong, Singapore,Shanghai,Dubai etc?

        • noyesmaybeok on 23/05/2017 - 13:17
          +3

          For economy? Usually same $ as business, which is the problem.

          You can test (if you have points) by looking on qantas website.

          Problem is Qantas will have say, $400 taxes and surcharges for a $600 fare. So you use a ton of points to save $200. Whereas it may be 40000 vs 60000 points to go from economy to business. Better value to pay $400 and the few more points for business.

          It's around 60,000 one way from memory to Asia business class

        • yl001 on 23/05/2017 - 13:33

          ok i c, you are right!!

        not sure why your comment was negged
        much better value to sell your points vs booking economy awards.
        the 25% discount may make it a bit more bearable..

        • Shonky on 23/05/2017 - 11:56
          +1

          Probably negged because it's not allowed by the terms and conditions and if caught they may remove the points and/or close the account.

  • maverick1 on 23/05/2017 - 11:35

    Hvnt got the email yet nor it is coming up on google search, but read the past few promotions and it seems promo's like these are applicable on Qantas and Jetstar operated flights only. Hope this is not the case.

    • Tony-Abbott on 23/05/2017 - 11:44

    Is this just a transfer bonus?

    Or is there also a discount on new bookings of 25%? This is only useful for me IF I can use points that I already have at Qantas.

  • tagin on 23/05/2017 - 13:22

    Commonwealth Bank doesn't allow you to transfer points to Qantas. Sucks! Only points you accumulate after joining their Qantas FF point system can be used.

      hahha.. no. u still have to pay for the taxes.. as well as giving away your points.

      • Shonky on 29/05/2017 - 19:04

        Not true. You can use points on Qantas Any Seat Rewards (vs Classic Rewards mentioned here) and pay for the whole flight in points as well as earning points for the flight if you do.

        And it's not giving away the points, it's using them to get flights. Whether you consider it value or not is another question. I concede that using points to upgrade economy to business class as an example is better value/point compared to say buying economy with points, but you still have to buy that economy ticket in the first place.

        • shez1212 on 30/05/2017 - 08:15

          I agree that upgrading is probably better use for the points.

          Are the Qantas any seat rewards offered for using more points?

          Sorry I've only ever booked classic or upgrades and both have always used points+pay unlike virgin.

  • yht on 23/05/2017 - 20:38

    Anybody knows if and when Velocity FF will follow suit ?

  • ezza on 23/05/2017 - 21:09

    25% reward fares are already showing up when searching.

    Ie - Melb - Johannesburg return shows 67,500 points + taxes. Normally this comes up around 80k odd points.

    • singhdingaling on 23/05/2017 - 22:03

      Yep you're right, flights I wanted are now discounted.

    • gezza90 on 23/05/2017 - 23:30

      That's quite cheap compared to SYD to London Heathrow. The cheapest I could find late Oct to mid Nov (depart arrive on Tuesday/Wednesday) is 75,000 points there and 92,000 points back (total 167,000 points + taxes). All other searches are 200,000 points+ return with economy saver! Am I doing something wrong?

      • Love a bargain on 24/05/2017 - 10:23

        Make sure they're classic reward seats rather than just paying with points. Tyre number of points required should be the same on the same route (given availability & same airline) from one day to another.

        • gezza90 on 24/05/2017 - 13:34

          Got it thanks! Adds up to me slightly cheaper when buying the ticket with $
          Will probably keep my points and save for a business class upgrade instead.

    • castaway on 24/05/2017 - 16:28

        "An eligible flight is an Economy Classic Flight Rewards operated by Qantas and booked with a Qantas (QF) flight number on your ticket to all Qantas domestic Australian and all international destinations to and from Australia"

    Looks like the bonus transfer is targeted to those who have transferred previously, found this article:

    http://www.pointhacks.com.au/qantas-point-transfer-bonus-pro…

  • RiskIt99 on 25/05/2017 - 15:31

    I’m slightly confused about who is eligible for the bonus Qantas points (up to 40%) if you transfer your credit card reward points. Some of the responses above indicate that it applies to everyone that has the ability to transfer points to the QFF program (e.g. all AMEX Platinum Charge Card holders) – irrespective of whether you receive an email/letter. Others have implied that it’s targeted, i.e. even if you have the ability to transfer points, you will not get the bonus points unless you have been included as part of the offer. Can anyone clarify the situation?

    lazzarbcfc88, you said you transferred some points on 23/05. Did you end up receiving an email and/or letter relating to this offer? If not, did you still get the bonus points?

  • ezza on 25/05/2017 - 21:44

    Not sure if others are seeing this as well.
    I managed to booked a economy fare Mel > Syd > Joberg, then a premium economy fare for way back and it was only 3k points more than economy each. Total 71,025. Obviously the premium economy sector is Joberg > Syd only.
    But if I select premium economy both ways it was showing 125k, not sure if its a glitch.

  • coolsteps on 28/05/2017 - 10:18

    any one manage to book a rtw classic reward ticket under 140,000 points? not sure if it works on the partner airlines or just the qantas legs? how do i redeem points for a a rtw classic reward ticket it just takes me to the oneworld website went i click on rtw?

  • bargainhunt21 on 28/05/2017 - 14:04

    Thanks OP

    I booked Melbourne to London return for 90,000 points (instead of 120,000) and $660 taxes during peak European summer time of Jul/Aug this year.

    I think that is pretty good value using the points I got from a credit card signup.

    Anyone know if complimentary CC travel insurance is included if you book with points? Assuming you pay the taxes above the cost threshold (which is $500 for NAB Qantas Amex).
