  So what's the best way to spend points?

    I used 19800 points last week to upgrade to business class MEL-PER return. Sure worth more than $100 on a measly gift card!! But everyone values their points differently

      Was that 19800 both ways?

        No, 19800 return so … 19800 /2 = …9900 each way… But this is only possible if you are booked on a FLEXI fare

      I don't understand why someone would want to blow nearly 20k points on an added on extra, when you could spend 0 points and still get to the destination? Not a crack or anything just an observation. 20k points could be used to do 3 ADE-MEL legs for $22 per flight.

        to each their own, but personally I find flying business very enjoyable, and flying economy quite unpleasant. I am relatively tall, that might be part of it, but the service levels are totally different and make a business class leg quite an experience.
        I look forward to flights in business class, not for flights in economy, no matter what length.
        I would (and have) pay way more than $100 for the upgrade in this example.

        All about comfort and service. I converted my seat to a fully flat bed and slept the whole way home from Perth. cant do that in those cramped economy seats ;) I dont mind a short flight to sydney or tassie in economy but 4 hours to perth is a no brainer upgrade for me!

    Even on ozbargain value it at 1c/pt, this rate is very crap.

  Upgrades and flights for the best value redemption, maybe I bump myself to business class on my next Singapore Airlines flight

    How do you do that? I'm going on an SG flight a few months, can you upgrade an SG flight with VA points?

      You can transfer points to krisflyer or you can book via velocity, it sound alike you already booked so transfer of points is the best solution but it is 1/0.75 which doesn't matter to me because you get that 15% extra from the bonus points transfers to velocity twice per year

  Doesn't seem to apply to Coles gift cards.

  Yes, have noted this, a pity it is so restrictive.
