WOW = Woolworths. . And QFF points are back, though at a reduced earning rate. however your spend is lower the new system may be better for you as the $30 minimum has been removed and plus points are now gained on fuel purchases.
The answer is all!. The reason being is that all have specials when points may be magnified. ie Doubled or 10 point/$ special.
So when about to buy I just quickly check both. One may have ebay at say 2 points per $ and the other 4. So I )or she) just with the the airline program who has the best rate at the time.
Caveat: For any online purchase I also just google and see where the best price is. If I can gain cheaper elsewhere sans-points I will take the cheaper price. Points are only cheap when you do not overpay for the good/s service.
Tips:
Points add up. Sometimes the earn is small and sometime large. Keep doing it over time and you will end up with a usable balance.
While some people stick to one program, I find running multiple programs allows one to garner the most opportunities at the best earn rates. On making redemption's different programs can have different cots too, and importantly availability in premium cabins, or even just route selection. You can use different programs to fly one way in different redemptions.
- For example :
I redeemed points from my Amex on a transfer special to Velocity to redeem a flight on
Etihad in J from MEL to Nairobi in Africa. This at the time required less effective Amex points than booking Oneworld via Qantas (On Qatar) and with less taxes and charges as well . In addition the flight times were better.
To return from Johannesburg to MEL I redeemed via Qantas as the flight was almost direct and availability was very good. For QFF taxes and charges were reasonable at $350 in J. Star Alliance options were very hard to get out of JNB and total flight time a lot longer as flights were indirect.
