Hi all, this is my first post about a topic I'm not very knowledgable about, so apologies if I've missed something obvious.

I just noticed that the Qantas store (not usually a bastion of competitive pricing) is running a 15% off promotion until tomorrow evening (3 August). Simultaneously, they are also offering 20% off Samsung products. There are TVs, phones, tablets, soundbars, watches and the galaxy buds available.

Having briefly experimented with adding a few items into my shopping cart, it seems that these two discounts stack, which brings them down to a somewhat attractive price. Given most people won't be using their FF points for flights any time soon, this seems to be a pretty good deal.

Hope it helps someone!

    Pretty good deal. Although the 15% is only on points and not cash. So you need to use your points, which historically wasn't good because you got great deals on flights. But right now it's maybe best to spend them on this anyway.

    • Skinnerr on 03/08/2020 - 00:48

      Heard on the news that alot of corporations are staring down insolvency soon as anso yes now is a good time to spend collected loyalty points incase they potentially go kaput. Maybe not applicable to a company like Qantas, but you never know!? 🤷‍♀️

    looking at some these prices seem slightly better than get a good guys gift card then buying from there.
    was looking to buy something and resell, not sure its worth it but

    • tiedtyper on 02/08/2020 - 22:57

      Yep buying gift cards was my comparison as well! If you compare it to the value of a DJs giftcard ($1 = 177 points), then it's well and truly worth it (e.g. the 55" TU8000 is 840 DJs dollars). In Good Guys terms it ends up being an even better deal, something like 790 Good Guys dollars for the TV).

      • taoz on 02/08/2020 - 23:06

        was looking at the A51 phone to resell. lowest price on here seems about $471. imagine could get about 420 for it, dunno if its worth it but. got take alot less value unfortunately.

        • get-innocuous on 02/08/2020 - 23:27

          $1260ish in points + $75 is way overpaying imo

            @get-innocuous: i know using the points for airfare will be more worth it. But not sure when can travel … 120K points was from CC bonus points.

              @bluebluebird: Everyone is going to give their own personal opinion here… you're better off doing what you think is right. I ended up spending my 5 years worth of Qantas points savings (over 400K) on gift cards to JB Hi Fi because the thought of using it for travel seemed much less appealing (my goal was to fly first class to Europe).

              If you literally got these points for 'free' from a credit card promotion, then just spend it - you can probably easily accrue that much on a new credit card promotion later on.

              • cykezero on 03/08/2020 - 10:24

                @danny1213: I am in a similar boat. Was saving points to fly first class to Europe and was looking to book in October (btw, Qantas makes this really hard to do from Australia, could not find any seats). However I am also not sure what I would get from JB/ GG with the cards either.
                I'd love to get the 77" OLED but they never seem to go on sale and I don't think I have anywhere near enough points to pay RRP for it.

                  @cykezero: The great thing about JbHiFi gift cards is that they don't expire and they price match. Warranty issues are a breeze from my experience.

                  If you end up getting heaps of $100 gift cards through Qantas for example, you can also use their website to buy $500 gift cards in exchange for the smaller ones. Makes it a bit less annoying when going to the store and making the big purchase with 50 cards haha.

                  It looked like Harvey Norman cards were "best value" but I'd personally rather buy stuff from Jb.

    Just grabbed myself one for the spa out the back. Equates to around $800 if you cashed the points in for digital Wish or JB gift cards via the Qantas Store. Given I had plenty of points to cover the entire purchase and the fact that using them for flights could be some time off I thought it was a worthwhile purchase.

    My purchase was entirely points so no payment required, order and paid on my PC. Email confirmaton received, delivery expected by 20th August.

      Just grabbed myself one for the spa out the back.

      Ever feel like the spa is a waste of money?
      The ladies like to sit in it with their friends and take photos, and rack up a massive power bill. My Mrs' friends are also annoyingly frequent visitors to my place in this COVID-19 era. There's only so much gossip and husband gloating I can take.

      I'm trying to figure out a way to break it or sell it. lol

      • [Deactivated] on 03/08/2020 - 12:09

        No, we love it. It gets used almost daily. We have a spa in our ensuite and were filling that daily so are now saving money on water. We also have a 20Kw solar power system so heat the spa during the day and costs us zero.

        • Orico on 03/08/2020 - 13:38

          Is your spa indoor or outside?
          Had to put the spa undercover in the patio, because the sun was just too harsh.

          Do you have any experience with sunscreen (should people have it on in the spa) contaminating the spa and is nylon or polyester swimsuits better for the spa?

          • [Deactivated] on 03/08/2020 - 13:42

            @Orico: Ours is under cover but outdoors as in on a large verandah. 2 sides completely closed off, 1 by the house brickwork, the other by a permanent screen. On the open side a PVC blind that is open in Summer and Closed in Winter.

            In Summer we tend to only use it late evening. No issue with sunscreen but it generally isn't applied for the spa.

      Why not use BP rewards? You'd only have to buy petrol at BP once every 18 months to stop your points expiring. Or Woolworths rewards, or many others. Or install the Qantas Shopping Points-Prompter browser extension.

            @leiiv: Can't remember from my experience - can anyone else chime in here?

            As for sale rate, goes for about 0.8c per point at the moment on marketplaces (which is obviously down from the usual 1c per point due to current circumstances).
