If Qantas' policy is to not allow national flags, it's fair that's enforced across the board. As long as any action taken is proportionate (and it appears to be here) then that's reasonable. Having said that, a lot of companies have rules that are enforced in patchy ways. The same standard...

https://www.executivetraveller.com/news/qantas-china-eastern-alliance Thought they'd ended their alliance, thought this would mean no more frequent flyer seats? Reviews aren't too bad - certainly still worth a redemption from what I've read though it's obviously hardly Qatar.

How many do you churn a year? I give myself a 4 card per year maximum to avoid excessive credit enquiries.

Couple of questions: 1. If I'm a sole trader operating off an ABN can I apply for this card using my ITR as proof of income? 2. If I've had the points bonus from the personal NAB Qantas Signature card recently, would I still be eligible for bonus points on this? Thanks!

I'm self employed sole trader on an ABN, the document guide says I just need my most recent Individual Tax Return and profit/loss statement. Will they still ask me for six months worth of bank statements or is this mainly for casual employment? I wasn't working for 7 weeks August to October...

Thanks guys, have enough replies here that I won't touch it. I'll guess I'll live eating caviar and drinking Dom on the STN - DXB flight despite no gamechanger seat or no bar. Please say a little prayer for me though!

Alas, I'm only silver though managed to get through to Hobart on a weekend a few weeks ago. Do you know what time Hobart is open until?

Hi, I've booked EK F STN - DXB - BNE. Unfortunately STN - DXB has been moved off the "gamechanger" 777 new F so I wanted to change that leg to LGW as that's a 380 at least. Have been told by QFF agent (sounded like it was in Phillipines?) that as the two bookings were linked I couldn't change...

1. Go to the multi city tool 2. Make the first route something QFF can handle the origin for (you could try SYD/MEL to CMB for example) 3. On the next line of the multi city tool you'll then be able to add in CMB to whichever destination you want 4. Once you've found out availability call QFF...

If they make positive changes to Points Club and particularly PC Plus that'll be interesting too. Very hard to get PC Plus unless you're either flying an awful lot (in which case you'll likely be minimum Gold) or if you're getting a lot of money on credit cards. So any positive changes to this...

Points in J to Europe on QFF are already significantly higher than most other airlines especially if travelling on a partner airline. That combined with poor availability on QF metal in particular (but more recently across OW in general) makes them an unattractive proposition, though the recent...

Each carrier does set their own redemption rates BUT surely not for a different carrier's FF program. JL decides how many JL miles are needed for one of their seats, it doesn't dictate how many QFF points are needed for one of their seats. Ultimately the decision to charge 144,600 or 159,000...

Qantas Silver. Called to make a booking I couldn't do on the website. Took 20 mins to get through, pretty sure it was someone in Hobart. Very straightforward, great service (apologised quite unnecessarily a few times for a short wait) and got sorted very quickly. No complaints at all and happy...

Oh I think you've misunderstood me here. This is purely for QFF - booking award seats on QF metal for the same mileage band is a little cheaper points wise than on partner airlines. So it's 144,600 Qantas points for one way in J to the maximum mileage one way in J with QF (and until around...

QF points required for long haul J CRs are already some of the highest in the industry when compared to their equivalents, though given the ubiquity of Qantas points you might fairly argue this isn't a direct comparison. They might equalise the points needed for QF bookings with other airlines...

Pre pandemic you'd usually see the same availability for a lot of OW airlines as on their own award schemes - eg CX. Suspect that's changing as scarcity is greater. Qatar's reduced availability is across the board and to pretty much every destination and wasn't this bad 4-5 months ago. If there...

Access to QR J reward seats even with QR's own Avios has hugely dried up over the last few months. Thought initially this was a Euro summer availability thing, but it's continued throughout September 2024. So less than zero chance for QFF even if there was some miraculous easing of relations.

There could be a lot more more churners, but anecdotally I think a lot of people who could be doing it are anxious about effects on future credit applications. Not sure PC+ would be enough to assuage those concerns. I churn four cards a year and my credit score is >900, probably partly because...

For churners it is just about achievable with four top level cards churned a year. Usually doing that in three month spaced out intervals means it doesn't set off too many alarms re multiple applications for credit enquiries either. Increasing the target by 100k would take a lot of churners...

Interesting the email was sent out. Do we know if Points Club has been a success for the airline and if not are they trying to get more people to qualify? It's rare we'd see *actual* enhancements to a program in this day and age, unless they'd be tied in to a higher points bracket. I've...
