Just to clarify.
There are alternatives with credit card transfers. SQ and CX (Amex card warehouse). The redemption rates are much lower on many routes and availability much better. That is where my future transfers will be going.
As far as the comment that the 40% offer was an enticement to...
Received an email from Qantas this morning saying that because I had transferred some points recently that they were offering a bonus deal of 40% for any new transfers up to December 19.
WELL THANK YOU QANTAS.
The problem I have is that I have just transferred 1,000,000 points to get the 30%...
Thank you all for your support.
What was not possible before has suddenly come to be.

Hi All,
I know that VA International J seats have been scarce of late.
Does anyone have any idea when they actually release seats. I have tried the last couple of days for seats @ 330 days out but am convinced that none have been released.
The funny thing is that Delta flights to LAX are...
The Citibank redemption rate has been updated and you can now transfer at the old rate.
My 1.5 million Citi reward points are now safely with SQ.
Really can't trust this mob. They have to be the worst bank to deal with.
