re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Hope it's ok to link to my own blog here, but I've written two posts collecting all my info on successfully booking an OW classic reward flight. Hopefully it'll help some people here get their trip sorted :) An overview of...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Super handy! Thanks so much :) Now if BAEC would just stop "exceeding velocity limits" in KVS Tool!

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Cheers mate - is it the same for JL J seats? Want to go from NRT-YVR but the same applies - on QF, nuthin, on BA, plenty.

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I'm attempting an OWRTW in J and have hit a snag getting out of ARN back to MEL. The flight I want is with QR: ARN-DOH-MEL. When I search using KVS Tool in QF mode, there's no J availability. But in BA mode there's plenty of...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Hmm, cheers for that info Kangol - maybe if I do the booking on the phone, they'll offer me the opportunity to pay for the taxes with points?

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Ahhh thanks! What constitutes a stopover? Is it a 24hr+ gap between flights? Also - is there a way to pay for the taxes and whatnot with points on the oneworld Award, or will I have to stump up the cash?

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread When paying for an OW RTW ticket, they'll bump you up to First on flights that are just Economy & First, hah. I guess on the award they bump you down to Economy instead :( I've changed the first class flights to economy...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Anyone able to look at this and pick out why booking it online doesn't give me the OW RTW award? Surface sectors? The DXB-DOH-TXL flight? First on AA domestically? (there's no Business on those flights) Premium Economy...

For those following along, Qantas/NAB gave me some points. I think they still owe me more and I am going to follow up.

Was in the mail. Again, I'd post a link, but I need 10 posts! :(

I told NAB in advance that I will be doing many small transactions in order to get the most out of this promo. The guy in card security said "sure, good luck" and disabled the alerts for small transactions during the promo period.

To go in Business from MEL-DXB, one way, it is 600,000+ points? Versus the OW RTW reward which is 420,000 for First? I didn't know of this until you posted it! What a champ :D

Thanks for the help everyone - some very useful posts here (espically casanovawa - thanks!). I already had 300,000 points (combo of a pretty high card spend in the first place, hoarding and some flying), then made around 7,000x transactions on the card, earning 100 points per transaction. I...

I'd post a link or an image, but the forum won't let me : ( Look at my post history for the thread detailing the NAB promo.

Thanks to a NAB promotion, I have almost 1,000,000 Qantas points. I don't really fly a lot (just once every few months), so am just a Bronze level member. I don't really know what the best way to use these points are - my partner and I would like to do a Round the World trip, and I've heard...

I've got a platinum NAB card and received this offer too (I'd post a link or images, but I don't have enough posts on AFF to do so). Gotta find a way to make lots of small transactions, without the card being blocked for fraudulent activity.

I'm booking a few US-based guests to visit Australia for a conference I'm organising and I also have a Westpac Earth Platinum Card, which gives a bonus points on selected QF purchases. Does anyone know if I purchase a few flights on QF that originate in the US (and hence, charged in US$), will I...
