    Just saw a fb post on this.. please don't buy points! Apparently its cheaper to buy a few cases of wine and get more points than buying points outright.

        Here's some examples.

        12500 pts costs $388.00
        OR
        12000 pts + 6 Bottles cost $270.00 - https://wine.qantas.com/p/byron-and-harold-byron-and-harold-…

        If you need 20,000 then,
        20,000 pts cost $544.00
        OR
        20,000 pts + 12 Bottles cost $420.00 - https://wine.qantas.com/p/yalumba-yalumba-exclusive-shiraz-c…

        Never buy points straight up.
        Sorry OP, morally obligated to neg.

          Because I am fun at parties I have to point out that the wine thing does not work for larger amounts

          105,000 points cost $1,919 outright

          100,000 points cost $2,100 in your wine example of 60 bottles of Yalumba

            @capslock: Of course it works. There is value in 60 bottles of wine that well and truly covers the price difference.

            Also, on that $2100 spend you get 3 pts per dollar, which makes it a total of 106,300 pts.

            An extra $181 for 60 bottles is better value.

          • guyvb on 09/10/2023 - 13:31

            @capslock: But to be fair, with the outright purchase you end up with the points. Whereas by buying the wine, you get a similar amount of points and 60 bottles of wine for an extra couple hundred bucks.

  • capslock on 09/10/2023 - 12:15

    1.78 cents per point if you spend the maximum of $3,999. Each point gets more expensive as you spend less.

    Haha, what a joke.

    Devaluating points by the day with next to no reward seat availability…
    Classic Qantas

    • cornucopia on 09/10/2023 - 15:05

      I thought that too based on the bad press however I checked a London return in Economy on Classic Rewards and it wasn't much different to pre Covid at around 110K points. There is zero availability after March '24 though.. that's the real issue, but hardly new.. 🥵 .. !!

    Could be useful if you're on the threshold for points club, and only a few thousand points short.

    DO NOT BUY points - plenty of other ways to score points cheaper.

      informative however imo the RRPs are heavily jacked

  • tmcn85 on 09/10/2023 - 13:03

    You would have to be off your rocker to buy qantas points

    Agree that this is a terrible deal

  • cchhiillyy on 09/10/2023 - 14:39

    Selling points for over 4x their actual worth. They're worth max about 1.1c per point.

    • cornucopia on 09/10/2023 - 15:19

      Mmm .. not necessarily. Example: A London Economy QFF return (in March) is currently $110K points (and there is availability, shock!!). The dollar cost to buy the ticket would be around $2400. Subtract the 'Taxes etc' (😂!) on Rewards and the value equivalent is about $2000. So that's closer to 2c a point .. 😏 .. !!

      • cchhiillyy on 09/10/2023 - 17:41

        With woolies rewards points its 2000 rewards points to 1000 QFF points. Which is equal to $10. So exactly 1c a point. You can split the difference.

      • trotsky on 10/10/2023 - 20:57

        Yes but if you paid 2c per point then you just paid the retail price but went via points to get there? I mean you would be subject to all of the restrictions of points bookings but effectively paying retail price.

        The reason they are worth 1.1c is that a buyer can take points acquired at 1.1c and turn them onto greater value at the cost of less flexibility plus no SCs, points etc. It's an arbitrage game. Nobody sane buys points for 2c.

    This is still a really bad deal.
    Better to buy Qantas wine for up to 44 points per $.

  • Ozbfan on 11/10/2023 - 16:33

    I don’t understand all the negative comments, it would appear people haven’t done the basic maths, like its not the greatest deal in the world, but it isn’t bad. I personally won’t do it as I have enough points and I don’t travel enough but if that wasn’t the case I probably would.
    I booked a business class flight to san fran for a $300 fee and 108k points, based on the 1.78c/ point, that would cost $2,222 not bad for a flight which had a RRP of $8500 and no churning required.
