Hi Guys, Looking at advice on how best to spend my gradually increasing number of points.
I've been trying to use only one card (Black MC and Amex) program to maximise my points in one program thus accumulated about 500K now.
I fly semi frequently domestic (usually Virgin) maybe 12 times a year and try for one to two international trips (can be Europe, SE Asia or maybe the USA) a year.
I have used my velocity points for the odd domestic trip - esp when the fares seemed quite expensive or non tax deductable trip - but not used my Altitude points as yet.
Do members at AFF use their Altitude points for flights or benefits - it's a pain they don't have Coles vouchers like the other programs - do the Westfield ones work, if the Coles is in a Westfields? And I'm not sure if they are the best bang for point either.
Can I upgrade a international flight that I buy with Cash to business with altitude points?
The other memberships I have are:
- Gold member with Velocity.
- Gold Hilton (comes with Velocity Gold)
- Gold Accor
- members of QF (Bronze) (my partner is Gold)
- KrisFlyer, Starwood
thanks in advance for any advice - it seems that this loyalty program doesn't seem to be the most popular.
