    Can't seem to find 25% from Brisbane to Japan during that time.

  • justjack on 25/08/2017 - 10:50

    Can you then use points to upgrade to business?

    • [Deactivated] on 25/08/2017 - 10:52

      I'm reasonably certain that is not possible.

      • eecan on 25/08/2017 - 12:36

        I did it in July for an international flight.

        Not cost effective but there weren't any rewards business seats available either.

      If you're bronze member you don't see as much rewards flights compare to someone who has gold or platinum status.

      • meister on 25/08/2017 - 13:42

        @ nightelves

        Is this really true?

          Absolutely

          Compared that with friends who were gold/ platinum

      You can provided you buy a flexi ticket

    • airly on 25/08/2017 - 11:17

      You can actually! Qantas allows upgrade from classic reward flight. But it won't be value for money.

      https://www.qantas.com/fflyer/dyn/flying/using-points-qantas…

      For example: MEL->HKG
      If you redeem classic economy reward then submit upgrade, it will cost you: 28,000 pts for economy (in this case 21,000 pts) + 56,000 pts for upgrade to business
      If you redeem business class ticket directly, it will cost you 60,000 pts.

      You should only do it, when you really need to fly on the date, but qantas hasn't released any business ticket for redemption.

    • sistermay on 25/08/2017 - 11:38

      yeah I am looking for the same too. :-(

    • Gururek on 25/08/2017 - 11:44

      Take that back, appears to be working. Would be nice if they showed something to say it was being applied.

    • Bloodfart on 25/08/2017 - 15:09

      youre better off redeeming points for a business class ticket.

  • tuvz on 25/08/2017 - 10:52

    majority of the time its better to buy a ticket than use points for Economy rewards…even at 25% off :)

    • nightelves on 25/08/2017 - 10:58

      Yeah you're right as the taxes are high.

      • [Deactivated] on 25/08/2017 - 11:12

        • Skramit on 25/08/2017 - 13:22

          They are airport departure taxes mostly, not really fees.

          @Skramit:

          For domestic maybe.. for international a fair chunk of it is not government or airport taxes

        • odysseus on 25/08/2017 - 14:06

          @Skramit:

          Actually fuel surcharges make up a significant part, so they'd definitely be considered a 'fee' - or really a cost of doing business.

    • illumination on 25/08/2017 - 11:01

      Agree on certain routes, especially ex-Aus. SYD-HKG, SYD-SIN come to mind - SYD-SIN especially so because you have Scoot as competition.

      Otherwise it depends on route. Intra-US and intra-Asia can be pretty cheap with Qantas points relative to cash fares.

      • Thatbargainhunter on 25/08/2017 - 11:58
        +3

        I don't have many QF points, as mine are all VA, but I used 10,000 recently for an economy flight from Amman to Beirut + about $100 in fees. As the only airline flying the route, prices are sky high for the distance ($450+). That is $0.03 per point, which is pretty good.

    • deb3103 on 25/08/2017 - 11:02

      true , I only use my points for business class where you get alot better value

      • nightelves on 25/08/2017 - 11:06
        +2

        Look at Round the World. You get even more value

        • tuvz on 25/08/2017 - 12:01

          Round the world is an option to look at. Just be aware that depending on the route you can pay up to $3k in fees and taxes.

        • nightelves on 25/08/2017 - 12:05

          @tuvz:

          Yeah I know that's why I fly with other airlines apart from Qantas. Their fees and taxes is just way too high.

        • DSOTM on 25/08/2017 - 15:43

          @tuvz:

          I just bought 2 x biz class reward on Etihad and got slugged $3K in fees and taxes.

        • tuvz on 28/08/2017 - 11:35

          @powervideo:

          how many points did you use for each ticket?

        • DSOTM on 01/09/2017 - 14:27

          @tuvz:

          I think it was 280,000 each J return.

        • tuvz on 04/09/2017 - 11:12

          @powervideo:

          geez
          $2800 worth of points+$1500 tax
          you can buy etihad sale business fares for about that much

    • airly on 25/08/2017 - 11:43

      Depend on route and travel date.
      But after years of flying (redeeming points for business class etc) my conclusion is:
      1) Save the point for Round the world reward
      2) Use point when it could save you some serious cash and forget about travel in style/comfort (at the end of the date, cash is king)
      (e.g. MEL->HKG return, 42,000 pts + tax vs $600 + tax, i will go with points, since I could easily sign up another credit card and pay less than $600 for annual fee to get more than 40,000 bonus point)

      I am sure most of you won't agree with me tho :)

      • enveloped on 25/08/2017 - 23:16

        How do you get those? I checked Sydney -> Melbourne, 27th Oct -> 29th Oct. Each point is worth 0.0066 dollars for both low-end Red E-deal and high-end Business Class. I also checked Sydney -> HKG at the same dates and the points worth reliably 0.0066 dollar each.

        How do you get it worth 0.014 Dollars?

        • Love a bargain on 26/08/2017 - 02:10
          +1

          It has to be classic reward, not pay with points

    • vicccta on 25/08/2017 - 16:14

      Do you think it's worth from CBR to SYD?

      Debating whether it's worth just paying for the tickets than to claim this 25%…

      On an international flight (Qantas), but Domestic Qantas is so much more expensive than Virgin…

      • airly on 25/08/2017 - 17:14
        +1

        I personally think domestic economy redemption during this sort of promotion is the best value for money.
        e.g. CBR -> SYD one way on 13/Oct at 6am

        6,000 pts + tax vs $97 + tax

        I could easily get 6,000 pts by paying way less than $97

  • B612 on 25/08/2017 - 11:11

    does anyone know if I have already booked a return ticket from Syd to Bali, is itworth to cancel it to rebook it?
    it cost me 80k for a return and now with discount is 60k

    • nightelves on 25/08/2017 - 11:19
      +2

      Check for availability first. To cancel it'll cost you 6k per person. If it saves you 14k points why not.

    • airly on 25/08/2017 - 11:36

      I think you have booked business class ticket for 80,000 pts return.
      This promotion is only for economy class ticket.
      I hope you haven't cancelled your booking yet. :)

      • B612 on 25/08/2017 - 11:37

        I mean econ return 40k each way

        • airly on 25/08/2017 - 11:45

          If thats the case, you could save 8,000 pts. (since there will be 6,000 pts per person penalty for cancel reward tickets)

  • yl001 on 25/08/2017 - 11:58

    high TAX makes the Economy points reward a shit! even 25%off, still worthless…
    the best way to spend QFF is EK's first class…

    • Peck on 25/08/2017 - 13:25

      Cathay Business Class BKK to Syd was 45,000 QFF points plus about $170 the last time that I checked, and so that is pretty good value too.

  • gezza90 on 25/08/2017 - 13:06

    Yes! Just the deal I was waiting for. Thanks OP!

    • gezza90 on 25/08/2017 - 15:00

      Just realised Sydney to London return availability flights around December/Jan are poor. Almost no flights in January. But definitely a good deal for 90,000 points return during that time!

      • bob19 on 26/08/2017 - 03:28

        Check out the Fees & Charges before you get excited. They will be about $700!!!
        You might be better off buying the tickets than using points.

        • gezza90 on 26/08/2017 - 11:16
          +1

          Cheapest Qantas return flight I could find is $2400 during that period. I'm just too used to paying $1200 :(
          But yeah $700 fees and charges are just ridiculous.

        • bob19 on 26/08/2017 - 12:42

          @gezza90:
          Try Etihad via AMEX or Entertainment book links.

  • PlagueistheCheap on 25/08/2017 - 14:10

    Is it possible to add extra bags onto a jetstar booking made with QFF points?

    • Bloodfart on 25/08/2017 - 15:16
      +1

      you mean on top of the 20kg you get when you redeemed it?

      I'm pretty sure you can, but i dont think you can use points to 'pay' for the extra bags.

      • PlagueistheCheap on 25/08/2017 - 15:24

        Yes, I would like two bags. The Qantas website won't let me adjust the amount of baggage.

        • Bloodfart on 25/08/2017 - 15:28
          +1

          if you go into the booking, it should redirect you to the jetstar site where you can add luggage, select seats, meals etc

          @TheDifference:

          Ok I'll try that, I didn't proceed far into the booking. Thanks for the help.

        • quackster on 25/08/2017 - 17:24

          @Expon: Can anyone else confirm that is definitely true? Last time I used points for a Jetstar flight I don't think it was possible.

  • su27km on 25/08/2017 - 21:20

    i tried from Syd to Christchurst NZ on Jan next year, it is more expensive using points with 25% off then Cash. e.g. cash: $227, point:13500+$114.17 one way. Not Worth!

    • Nachotroncoso on 26/08/2017 - 07:29

      Really? You are paying $112.83 less!!! And your points are valued at 1.2 cents per point for the difference, close to the 1 cent per point people sell them here.
      Can you tell us a better use for your points then?

  • misialinac on 25/08/2017 - 21:50

  • macr0hard on 26/08/2017 - 11:57

    Does anyone know if this applies to multi city trip i.e. Start and end in different cities?

    • daffyd on 26/08/2017 - 19:05

      Looks like it but keep in mind its only for QF flights. E.g. When I looked I could do MEL->London, NYC->MEL but I couldn't get as substantial a discount if I wanted to go to Copenhagen, for example, as I would have had to take an Emirates flight.
