the giver has no idea when they expire.

Do I have to actually phone Qantas & wait on hold for hours ?

Tried emailing them at start of this week, when recd pts, but no response.

If they transfer them to you then they won't expire unless your own points are going to expire.
 
They’d expire after 18 months of no activity.
 
ozflyer you will be safe with those points provided you have activity in your account inside 18 months. That could be credit card earn, Woolies loyalty points, Qantas partner vendors, Epicure/Qantas mall transactions and stuff like that. You could fly too.

on qantas site, it says if giver transfers points, it's the givers expiry that counts not the receivers, but don't know the receivers(elderly & too hard to get them to find out)
 
Qantas don't treat bundles of points separately as far as expiration goes. The total point balance of an account will expire after 18 months of no activity, and a family transfer doesn't reset the clock. But once you have those points in your account they're part of your balance, and would only expire (along with the rest of your balance) if you had no activity for 18 months.
 
If in doubt just order the cheapest stuff on the Qantas site. My SIL chose a bottle of Vodka.

no that's why I posted this. From what I read on qantas site, you can't extend points about to expire by transferring them.

i think you are misinterpreting that. What it actually means is that transfer of points are not counted as activity in your account. So if you have 10,000 points about to expire and someone transfers in 1000 points, that does not count as activity and you will lose the whole lot as soon as you hit 18 months, just go and do something that earns you a few points and then you will have 18 months before any points (including ones transferred in) expire.
 
I may have misread the Qantas terms below

>>>

Note: Transfers cannot be reversed or cancelled and do not count as activtiy on your account, or the account you transfer points to, for the purpose of preventing your points from expiring.
 
Yes all Qantas means is that the transfer of those points is not deemed an activity on your account.
