    Credit Card Offers Bankwest Qantas World: 100,000 bonus Qantas Points (min. spend $35K)

    Agree, similar experience for World. Even the standard points (not bonus) are published as earnt on your statement, but not transferred over to Qantas. I missed the first T+C, which states no points will be transferred until you have had the card for two months and they have been true to form...

    Is Norfolk Island a Qantas International Destination?

    …… yes, another good pickup from you! So I guess, you have suckered me back in off the bench……. …… but I booked a classic award seat, so classic award fare rules apply - on a Qantas Domestic Route…… Can one of us throw in the towel now. :) ….okay I will.

    Is Norfolk Island a Qantas International Destination?

    This is certainly acknowledged and appreciated. It gives me heaps of balanced perspective to test my views and what responses I might receive if I did consider taking it further with Qantas (as I expect they will be even more blunt with me). Yes, I had missed this in my earlier calcs, and is...

    Is Norfolk Island a Qantas International Destination?

    So would I........ but no F in BNE 😞 and you need to be Plat to get in 😞 if they had one...... I am actually (for the very first time) targeting platinum at the moment and because it was going to be very close for me I was tracking every credit...... so this trivial amount for me of a total of...

    Is Norfolk Island a Qantas International Destination?

    Because you get more status points if it is considered domestic, than if it is considered international....... surely that matters to some of us.

    Is Norfolk Island a Qantas International Destination?

    Thanks. I can stand down then and find another topic which to ponder :) ......nahh, not sure I can walk away that quickly :)........ For flights to Norfolk Island, Qantas sells travel insurance. Guess what....... Issuer: AIG Australia Ltd Policy: Australian Comprehensive Destinations...

    Is Norfolk Island a Qantas International Destination?

    As indicated, I have undertaken heaps of trips to Norfolk and mainly via Classic Rewards (points club member), but never noticed the anomaly before, So when I noticed I just asked the question, why 4 status credits less than I expected….. I made one phone call (guessing I got a MNL agent) and...

    Is Norfolk Island a Qantas International Destination?

    Acknowledged, that is the latest version of what I posted. The one I posted, clearly stated the Federal Governments change in position in respect to Norfolk. It stated “From 1 July 2016, travel to Norfolk Island from mainland Australia will be classed as domestic travel”. The updated version you...

    Is Norfolk Island a Qantas International Destination?

    Yes, acknowledging it is a special case in terms of a lot of things, but, personally, I don’t think any of these special cases form an adequate definition in terms of “domestic travel”. Acknowledged. My point was that Qantas was using close proximity to another country to form their opinion of...

    Is Norfolk Island a Qantas International Destination?

    I have travelled to Norfolk Island a bunch of times since Qantas took over the route and more often than not via J Classic Award. I only just noticed on this occasion that I am receiving 24 Status Credits for the flight (Points Club), which indicates an international destination, instead of the...

    Credit Card Offers Bankwest Qantas World: 100,000 bonus Qantas Points (min. spend $35K)

    Applied recently (4 weeks ago) application process easy….. the only thing that surprised me was, it required a person to person phone call to enable Apple Pay. Everything else easy

    Credit Card Points to convert

    Welcome to AFF Your challenges are: Citi Credit Card converts 2:1, so you have 98,000 Velocity Points. (Singapore conversion is worse) Velocity requires 80,000 points to get a one way economy. Sept is very close (in terms of Award seats) and is School holidays, so would normally be quite hard...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Unclear to me....... I definitely align myself to being a typical AFF in terms of most things and certainly in terms of redemptions...... but in terms of earning status, I earn enough on strictly domestic economy flying for work to get gold on both airlines - gives me good diversity and serves...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Yes. it makes sense to an airline focused 100% on revenue/profit......... it does not make sense (to me) for an airline focused on loyalty/customer service!!! these are the things that establish your brand, create trust and a long-term relationship with your customer........ which will...
