Reliance on breakage is a fairly common method of enhancing profitability on a product.

This is a far better solution for Qantas. They make money selling the passes to banks, then have most of them spoil because they cannot be used by customers.

FYI Qantas had 7 sales last year where J pricing to the US hit this level. Basically every other month. This is the second of this year, so the trend is continuing.

VA's USA partner is United, and United have made a business decision to restrict award seats to its own members (specifically elites and credit card holders). Not much VA can do about it.

From the WP newsletter:

Day 1 of your 24th month.

Generally harder to get approved for peak flying days. More likely to have success on a Tues/Wed/Thurs

It currently means nothing. Pure speculation on the part of the poster. Qantas has known about this matter for a decade and chosen to do nothing about it each year. Indeed, it was a Qantas representative (Red Roo) who tipped many people off to it. People started predicting its demise in 2016-17...

St Regis with 5th night free and Conrad with free night certificates/5th night free.

Not if you're paying with points ;) Great news. The lack of good connections to PPT had put us off Bora Bora. May need to reconsider.

Another year, another successful release of 2x seats to the US over peak Christmas season. Only J on the outbound (F on the inbound), but I'm fairly confident I'll be able to call and get F released closer to the date. Main priority was creating the booking during the DSC period.

I've never relied on it, especially because most US cards don't cover medical. And I wouldn't risk it with something like car rental insurance where the cost of not being covered could be very extensive.

It's not yet public. I'll share more once it is.

Which is what we're talking about — the data presented in 1H26 results of both companies.

Carrier charges were significantly increased with the devaluation last year: Qantas Devaluing Classic Rewards & Upgrades in August 2025

They failed 😂

You are wrong about what is an active member. For Qantas, inactive members are defined as 'Members who have not redeemed a flight in the previous 5 years'. It's not someone who forget to switch off their Everyday Rewards to Qantas earn.
