Called and confirmed what was going on. The offer is apparently a choice of either 10,000 bonus points, or 1pt/$ bonus for 3 months, not both (clearly a mistake to send SMS with offer A, linking to offer B). Limited to those targeted for the offer. I took up the offer of 10,000 bonus points...

Well this is a new one... Just received an SMS from ANZ offering 10,000 Qantas points to downgrade from Black to Platinum. The link contained in the message then details a bonus 1 bonus point per dollar for first three months on all spend, on top of standard Platinum earn rates. The link...

Re: Double the Qantas Points you earn on the ground (UPDATE - and in the air) I can't make sense of the points amounts credited. One credit of 5,000 points, the other two much less than expected. I had Woolworths points plus an Epiqure transaction that should have been eligible in different...

I received the Android Pay offer on my Edge, and I use that card consistently via Android Pay at Woolworths. With Local Champion, I will indeed be enjoying 6pts per dollar at local Woolies :D

Article in SMH American Express cuts fees for small businesses to double its presence Can only be good news for us?

There's really nothing in the offer to make this card a keeper. I suspect most of us points collectors will get this for the bonus and then churn.

I had no idea that was possible until I read your post! Very annoying to date, wish I'd known it was possible sooner. It took me a while to find the setting... for those looking for the setting, after logging in to your velocity account, go to "Pay With Points In-Store" then look for...

AusBT talking about Sydney getting the new A380s from 25 Oct. I have two suites awards booked on 231 just a few days later. Fingers crossed 231 gets the new aircraft and we don't get bumped out of suites given that the number of seats is halved.

That's the link for the promo offering double points on flights. The promo referred to in this thread is a different promotion for double points on NON-flight earning (eg. online shopping, epiqure etc).

The offer web page has just disappeared. The link https://www.qantaspoints.com/offers/doublepoints now just redirects to the home page. Offer reached its limit of registrations (was there a limit on registrations)? Or has Qantas changed its mind and pulled the offer entirely?

My guess is that direct earn credit card points will be eligible. By excluding "reward programs" I think they're excluding programs where transfer to Qantas is a discretionary transaction that can be initiated at will (particularly Amex Ascent Premium and hotel programs that allow transfer to...

It seems this promo will double any Woolworths rewards converted to Qantas up until 13 June. The next Woolworths > Qantas conversion is due around 16 June, so that will help with your double bonus in the 3rd month. Essentially any Woolworths points promos over next two and a half months are...

Adding my referral link in if anyone is interested in this offer. You'll get 100,000 bonus points after reaching the minimum spend, which can be transferred out to any of these: - 50,000 Starwood Hotels (SPG) starpoints (can also be transferred to 150,000 Marriott points) - 75,000 Velocity...

For those following this issue, BA awards seem to be back and available on the website today. I had an award to book but was waiting for points to come through. They came through after Woolworths transfer yesterday... and no BA seats showing. Tried online chat yesterday afternoon, they were...

I don't think anyone has access to $200 travel credit for Edge yet. Edge does not switch from free flight to travel credit until March 30 I think. Unless you're talking about new Edge cardmembers. When did new Edge cards start getting $200 travel credit instead? What is the experience of...
