I Need 15k QFF to Retain Qantas Club by End of July. What’s Best Way to Get It?

I am currently a Qantas Points Club Plus member and I have around 135k points earned on the ground. How do you suggest is the easiest way to earn that extra 15k on the ground to hit the account by end of July?

Would appreciate any tips or suggestions!

    Unless you have Woolies points sitting around, the best value option is almost always QF Wine purchases with bonus points.

    • Thanks, I did see that but I am a non-drinker here!

        can buy the wine and gift to friends and family

      • You can just buy points if you like, but it will likely cost more than getting wine with it (even if you won't drink it).

        Also, unless you have a bunch of QF award flights coming up which you are hoping to earn status credits on, I would question whether PC by itself is worth chasing.

  • If you apply for a credit card now you’ll get the bonus points you need + a large bonus by July 31. Look for a no annual fee or low annual fee ($49-$99) if you don’t want to spend a ton on the annual fee (although cards with a higher annual fee will typically attract higher sign up bonuses).

      I mean you might, but there is certainly no guarantee. Most CCs give themselves up to 90 days to give you the points, even if they often come in the payment cycle after the required spending is met.

      • Every credit card I’ve had, points are credited instantly once meeting spend requirements. The 90 day clause is just a formality.

  • Qantas has 8x the points on Breville stuff and the express impress is $850, could probably sell it BNIB for $500 and get 6800 points for $350.

    But personally, I'd go for this and give it away as gifts. Decent vino at the price, even before the points - https://wine.qantas.com/p/bests-great-western-bests-great-we…

    Find a promotion on gift card purchases for stores you actually use at Woolies and load up. Points are credited super quick.

  • To clarify, do you have 135k or 335k? 150k only gets you Points Club not Points Club +.

    • I had more than 350k points last year, so I am on points club+ now until July 31. Trying to get points club (not +) for upcoming year - I am now on 135k

        Sorry, was confused by your title as it says you are trying to retain Qantas Club, which is only a benefit of Points Club+ and not the regular Points Club.

        • Yep he’s got you here, dead to rights.

    Sign up to Red Energy

    • nice one

    • Yeah this is probably the easiest, quickest and cheapest way.

  • Another option is Qantas hotels. They sometimes have a 3x bonus points for stays and/or experiences. So if you’re planning a holiday or something this could be another avenue.

      Qantas Hotels is pretty slow at crediting points IME.
