Just looking at some of the offers from the Qantas and was wondering if anyone had found the best (non-upgrade) use for ther points
For example:
Qantas Club Annual renewal:
65,000 points vs. $355.00 = 0.55 cents per point
Brisbane-Melbourne Flight Economy return
24000 points vs $231.00 (+$77.00 taxes) = 0.96 cents/point
Brisbane - Singapore Flight Economy return
60,000 points vs $644.00 (+$246.06 taxes) = 1.07 cents per point
Brisbane-Los Angeles Flight Economy return
96000 points vs $1399 (+$297.58 taxes) = 1.46 cents/point
Brisbane-Melbourne Upgrade Disc Econ - Business return
24000 points vs $1444 = 6.02 cents per point
Brisbane-Los Angeles Upgrade Econ - Business return
144000 points vs $9319.00 = 6.47 cents per point.
No surprises there, regarding the value of redeeming upgrades.
What I really wanted to know however, was whether there was anything on the Qantas flight/shop list (other than upgrades) that people knew about that gave the best dollars per point - maybe somewhere between 2-7 cents per point.
Or maybe even just a list of redemptions that were the best bang for their points (even if they were an upgrade).
ps. didn't check the calculator too much, so apologies in advance for any wrong calculations.
