1 Oct 2025 Changes to CBA Award Partners

Transferred most of mine to Flying Blue because they have very cheap reward tix on Qantas domestic (5000 miles for a short flight like SYD-MEL), so a good move even if you don't have a lot of CBA points to play with.

Converted some more to Qatar because I figure with the 40% bonus from other partners, I'm likely to convert some there anyway soon, so I may as well have a few more.

Then, with 4 CBA points left, I transferred literally 1 Aeroplan point because that'll reset the clock on expiry for my existing Aeroplan balance.

With any final points earned by the 30th (hopefully some pending transactions post and earn on Tuesday like they usually would), I'll probably add to the Qatar stash, or maybe to Accor because I use Accor a lot and the opportunity cost versus airline points would be minimal on such a small amount. We'll see!
