    Heads up about program changes

    Can someone point me to a page or calculator which shows how many QF points (not status credits) I might earn on partner airlines after 1 July, should I choose to continue crediting to QFF? The only updated calculator I can find appears to only show devalued earning on QF and JQ.

    Qantas Cash FX rates

    I've been monitoring the rates over the past months. The USD rate is generally the best one. Other currencies are 5.5%. At this time it will be cheaper to load AUD and pay the 3% fee to convert. The locking in was useful when the AUD was plummeting at the end of 2013, as it enabled me to get...

You can withdraw from westpac/ stgeorge ATM for no fee Also be careful if your status will...

    QF knows its destinations (an oops in the March QFF email newsletter)

    Yes they are all 0.75c per point and you'll get points and SCs back, but this just looks so much less appealing than the others.

    27th February Big Qantas announcement

    I'm not sure why people keep comparing QFi to Air NZ or the UK, which mainly happened about 15 pages earlier in the thread. Firstly, both countries are much smaller than Australia. The only country you could really compare to is Canada, as the US population is 13x. And yes, it would be sad if AC...

    Qantas Cash Card

    re: Qantas Cash Card Do you mean with the dollar amounts, or the double points? Qcash appears to round up, and the double points were for December, but the base points are awarded (apparently) on the day of each month that you activated the card AFAICS, it only makes sense to use Qcash...

    Qantas Cash Card

    re: Qantas Cash Card I've received the double points for local spending in December. But not the bonus for loading $250. However, some of the transactions when I spent the $250 did not post until January.

    Qantas Cash Card

    re: Qantas Cash Card Only if there is a balance on the card. So, rather than letting Qantas steal your remaining cents, buy something cheap from Coles, dump in some coins and use the card to pay residual amounts ending in 3/4/8/9c. As transaction values appear to be rounded up you should...

    Qantas Cash Card

    re: Qantas Cash Card I had a hotel in Berlin use DCC but only showed EUR on the receipts. I'd like to know the response from QCash if they manage to figure out what happened.

    Qantas Cash Card

    re: Qantas Cash Card Spending in foreign currencies will appear in the relevant currency when authorisation is taken. Once the transaction is posted, it will appear in AUD at the mastercard rate (no fees), and you must click to expand to show the original amount in the other currency. So...

    Qantas Cash Card

    re: Qantas Cash Card I've been using the card as I can't get an Australian CC yet. Is the day the points arrive each month the same day you activated the card? Mine was activated on 20th Dec and there are no points yet, should I be expecting some tomorrow?

    BNE Dom-Int transit

    I have booked QF SYD-BNE-HKG with 1h50m connection. There was an option for 2h50m (and 3h50m) but I may have trouble arriving at SYD in time for the earlier flights. I'm assuming 1h50m D to I is a legal connection, but will I have any trouble making it through security and exit immi in time...

    Amex UK to Aus

    Hello Has anyone transferred an Amex charge card from the UK to an Amex credit card in Australia? I have the UK Gold card and I have read about the Global Transfer, but the Australian Gold card costs $210 per year if you want MR. I'd prefer the free Qantas Amex to start with. Do I have...
