    Currently overseas, easy ways to keep Qantas points from expiring?

    True, but it's a transaction that resets the 18-month expiry.

    One can also do a gift to charity, 3,200 points which is approx $25 of value to that nominated charity.

    Currently overseas, easy ways to keep Qantas points from expiring?

    The best I can find myself, a month's Spotify subscription for 2,450 points. Better than losing all my points, which is substantial at this stage.

    I dont think they accept new registrations. 1689768766 Yes, heard about that. Apparently, its region locked, so it cant be used outside Australia. Well, I cant download the app anyhow..

    Currently overseas, easy ways to keep Qantas points from expiring?

    As the title suggests, I am looking for easy ways to stop my points from expiring. I am not in a position to take flights at the moment, so it will have to be something else? Buying something in the Qantas Store appears to be the most obvious.

    Best use of Amex MR points when living overseas

    I will look into that. Avios is a good shout alright as a number of airlines use them.

    Best use of Amex MR points when living overseas

    I am not looking really for the best business class seat to avail of, more so what programme I can use to buy short flights around Europe or from Europe to the US.

    Best use of Amex MR points when living overseas

    I've moved overseas to Europe and will be overseas for a minimum of a few years. I have an Amex Essentials Card that I no longer use and want to close but have built up some points. (about 180,000) What is the best way to use these points? I am thinking of putting them into AsiaMiles as that...

    Qantas Lounges will begin reopening from 1 November 2021

    I think the QF11 flight is changing from a late flight to a much earlier flight. But, if the opening hours are to 10pm then I should be ok.

    Qantas Lounges will begin reopening from 1 November 2021

    Can anyone confirm the opening hours of the Sydney Qantas International Business Lounge? Have a late flight with Qatar, I have Oneworld Saphire status, which should give me access, but the lounge could be closed given its a late flight and not sure if there is a Qantas late flight on the same time

    AMEX Qantas Ultimate - 100k points - $3k min spend - Exp Oct 9

    Yeap, clear as mud in a way, because previously I was able to get the bonus points when I canceled cards well within the timeline. I even think I got the bonus points once when I held another Amex card. This was a few years ago so I was wondering if Amex are still lax with their T&C's

    AMEX Qantas Ultimate - 100k points - $3k min spend - Exp Oct 9

    I am back in the game for these promo cards. Looking around the Amex Ultimate ones seems to be the best hit. However, I hold the Amex Essentials Card and have done so for the past 2 years (I was out of the country and wanted to hold my points rather than forfit them or pay an annual charge) So...

    Explorer Gateway -> Ascent?

    Can you transfer them from SPG to QFF? Kinda left thinking that maybe Asia Miles might be the way to go, can you redeem these for Qantas flights easily enough?

    Explorer Gateway -> Ascent?

    I have a bunch of points that I have on my Amex Rewards account, which I want to transfer to another FF rewards program. I am cancelling my explorer card which means that I have to transfer this over soon as I will lose them all I had the Amex platinum card before which means I had my explorer...

    Qantas CSR issue with date change

    I booked one of those Classic Oneworld Award tickets. On the last leg of the trip right now, all was good so far. That was until I had to change the date for the last segment of my flight. It should be straight forward. The availability was there, I rang up Qantas to change the date, I saw it...

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    My renewal for my Platinum charge card is coming up. To be honest the $1200 is quite steep for me and I only really got it for the bonus points. Now I could try and get maybe 30,000 points to renew but to be honest it is not worth it. The one thing I do like and use with this card is the...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Thanks for that, not exactly that clear. What if you only use 2 segments and don't want to use the rest? Do you lose out on all your points?

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    If a person missed a segment of their award fare, does qantas re calculate the entire fare as single segments and refund the difference in points or do you waive all the entire points?
