Does anyone know if QFF are strict with the 15% use of purchased points max for an award fare? I've got 58,800 points...looking to book 2 x PER-SYD (72,000 points)...14,000 points will cost $437...but will get us business class for the 1st time :). However 15% max used would be only 10,800 purchased..so about 2500 short...will they let me do it?
 
They are strict, and purchasing points is poor value, have you looked at Epiqure?

Eg a new member can sign up for $59 (using a discount code), and buy 4 dozen of these for just over $800, earning 10000 points for the first and fourth dozen ordered by member, 10000 bonus points and 2400 for the actual purchase, so 22400 odd!

Something like this would be perfect to get us over the line...only 2 things...the flights are in january...so i'd be cutting it fine to get the points in time....and we both dont drink :)...other than that...it would be perfect...could even use them as xmas gifts...but the 6 weeks they say id have to wait would be too long :(

Anything else i could buy that would get me the points needed and quickly?

12400 points would post in a matter of days, and often the bonus points in 4 weeks max.

I took my first domestic J leg with QF a few months ago and I thought it was a waste of points to fly MEL-PER in J tbh...

My thoughts exactly.

I can understand some people would be interested. But why the rush to buy the points?

John, some people have a bucket list, for which a flight in a higher class may be on the list. It isn't anyone's business apart from theirs as to how they spend their points.

Is SYD-PER in business that important?

Never flown business before....and we fly PER-SYD stay overnight then SYD-HNL (cannot get any business class seats)...so at least the 1st part of our trip will be a bit different :) Its not that important...but would be a nice way to start off our holiday :)

The rush is because we have to book the flights for 18/01...and thats not too far away. If we don't get enough points...not a problem...already booked in economy with virgin.
 
Go for it blackjack - just because there are some who try and shoot your ideas down with negativity - it doesn't mean you should abandon the idea.

I think Virgin J might me better than the A330 J experience I had on the coast-coast route.
 
I agree with JohnK on this one but do find it hilarious that it is the same person arguing this that carried on like a pork chop for days because some Virgin upgrade wasn't "true business class".
