Equivalent to 20x Everyday Rewards (EDR) points if you convert EDR to Qantas Points anyway.
Make sure you drag the slider in the "Points Plus Pay" box to 0 points, so you pay with cash only and earn the full bonus points.
But significantly easier as no need to go into the store and hope the Apple gift cards are in stock.
All denominations seem to be eligible ($25, $50, $100, $200, $250, $500).
Assume you mean the 20x flybuys in store deal? If you're converting to velocity points, you could wait for the next transfer bonus from flybuys -> velocity. That would get you marginally better value than this deal if you value qantas points similarly to velocity points.
If you don't care about frequent flyer points then this deal probably won't be of much interest anyway.
No chance of getting scammed by people who have swapped out the gift cards in store
Happened a couple of days ago to a friend who unfortunately didnt know it was a thing
Woah… seen this mentioned a few times now. What's the scam?
Could you elaborate on exactly how the scam works?
I have purchased apple cards before and they have a tamper seal at the bottom of the packet. Surely it would be obvious if the card had been opened before that.
And even if it had been tampered, what does the scammer do exactly? Pull out the gift card code from the pack and ____ ? Genuinely asking as I have no idea how this happens.
Yeah, they (the scammers) are very creative.

From what I can gather, its not hard for them to reseal or even fake the whole package.
My mate sent me a photo of one that worked and one that was replaced by a scammer, and they were remarkably close but there were differences on the back of the package.
@ryefig: No problem, I think it's very important for people to know.
FYI my mate got his cards refunded by Woolies
All those scammers will be licking their lips…
So this is equivalent to 10% ?
$2000 GC = 20000 QFF
20000 x 0.0012/0.0013 = $240 / $260 or even more if your lucky to find a cheap buisness class award seat
I thought 20000x0.0012=24?
0.012
Typo
hmm not bad, thanks for the insight! Definitely seems to be easier than the physical cards from Coles as no higher denominations are available / risk of tampering =(
Time to pay off my ATO debt
Actually it is time to come up with another joke :)
much better than buying in coles/wws without risking of getting hacked cards.
I posted this above but would like to get your insight too: Could you elaborate on exactly how the scam works?

Dang, just needed this to crack Points Club Plus with my new NAB card, but the card hasn’t arrived yet, but can’t check out with Apple Pay.
Off the top of my head, you can use nab app to add the new card to Apple Pay before receiving and activating the card
Yeah I have added the card in my Apple Pay, which works great at physical terminals, but the website doesn't accept Apple Pay as a valid payment method.
Hoping the card arrives before the promo ends.
Great deal op. Not having to worry with tampered cards and having to go in store :)
Brilliant. I hope this is a regular offer going forward.
Just for awareness, the Most Liked Negative Review complains that “you need to call Qantas Marketplace to finalise the purchase and activate the card, which is unnecessarily troublesome due to the hold queue waiting times.”
Can OP or anyone here who bought one confirm if it’s that bad? Still sounds like it’s worth the effort.
No activation required for my purchases
1 x Mac Mini m4 and 1 x Touch ID Keyboard = $1064 from apple edu deal.
2 x $500 and 1 x $100 gift card = $1100 and 11000 points.
Great deal
Oh, I went to Woolies last weekend to get a bunch of physical cards. This would have been easier and 20x Everyday rewards points = 10x Qantas points anyway!
Literally just bought with 10x Flybuys today. Not sure how which is better
