earn points

I keep all my qantas point transactions in a spreadsheet (I'm a nerd). And in doing so, I noticed there is a major flaw in the way that Qantas Club points are calculated. When purchasing an item through the qantas mall, the Frequent Flyer points are sometimes not allocated for a few months...

Qantas Frequent Flyer is launching a partnership with Afterpay later this week. Looks like you'll be able to earn 1 Qantas point per dollar, and there will be a bonus of 500 Qantas points for new Afterpay customers that sign up and link their QFF account...

Qantas and Jetstar put out media releases this morning about their tourism recovery sales launching today. Qantas is offering triple frequent flyer points on all domestic flights until 24 June, for travel between 27 June and 31 October 2020...

For whatever reason, the Woolworths Rewards program does not operate in Tasmania. Instead, there's the Frequent $hopper Club which is not affiliated with Qantas Frequent Flyer. Tasmanians therefore cannot earn Qantas points at Woolworths, nor are they able to take advantage of the current status...

Qantas is offering up to 150k QF points with new health insurance policies until 8 May. Earn up to 125,000 points in the first year, and 25,000 more points for renewing the policy for a second year. I think the full amount of points only comes with the top (i.e. most expensive) policies. Anyone...

Does this make sense to anyone? Flew JL35 (booked as QF4026) 4NOV. With the normal posting from JAL operated flights, it should have posted on Nov 5 (JAL does weekly batches to QFF posting on Tuesdays) or Nov 12 if it missed the batch. Hadn't posted by Nov 16, so sent in a claim. Around 2...

Flying to Sydney from MEL on JQ on QF reward ticket coz it is less points and I’m saving them for an upgrade to LAX next month. Anyway, as per usual, flight is late, yet the idiots at T4 make the announcement “go to gate boarding is about to commence”..... I hike all the way there and what do...

I thought the answer for this would be pretty easy to find through a web search, but I'm having no luck! For a city pair, say SYD to LAX, the Virgin / Velocity website only shows the distance in miles, and not points earned. There doesn't appear to be any info on their entire site which...

Flew (Air)NZ with an SQ KF# in the NZ booking system in Jul this year. It was in Works Deluxe, the fare was not cheap either, Au$5xx or so. Edit: had put in a retro points claim, came back declined, had kept etx booking details too. Didn't check account after flight, left it the normal few...

I see that the QF SC earn when flying CX in J ADL-HKG is 100 SC compared to 60 when flying say MEL-HKG. I assume due to QF not flying to HKG ex-ADL themselves. On a return J flight that is 100+ extra SC earn when taking into account the MEL-ADL positioning flight. Note, I'm actually looking...

United is overhauling the requirements to earn MileagePlus status from 2020, replacing Premier Qualifying Dollars (PQDs) with Premier Qualifying Points (PQPs) and introducing Premier Qualifying Flights (PQFs). The minimum spend requirement is also no longer being waived for non-US residents...

I'm going to be booking the SATS golf cart transfer service at SIN with my VA GW. Is there a way to earn Extra VA/KF pts aside from what I'll earn from GW?

Saw this as an advert on AFF! Book a two-night stay at selected voco and Crowne Plaza hotels and earn a free night on us. A free night away is one of life’s great pleasures which is why we’re offering our IHG Rewards Club members a free night on us! When you stay a minimum of two...

I have a couple of flights coming up CBR-SYD-CFS and I have a complimentary lounge pass allocated for SYD. I would like to earn points on BAFF rather than QFF, is there a trick to doing this? I'm guessing I'd have to change the FF to BA, fly the first leg, change it back the Qantas, enter the...

With the approval of the JV, looks like Qantas have finally got around to improving the earn rates on some AA services (such as TransPac). People may remember they slaughtered them two years ago when the JV was knocked back...
