Buying Qantas top-up points with a bonus: Worth it?

MelbFlyer said:
Definitely only one way.

$1,600 return from MEL to CGK in business class would be a steal.



Really? On my end, if buying points and redeeming, it would be CA$1,125 (buying 30k pts (+22.5k bonus pts) = 52.5k pts) + CA$191 in taxes =~AUD$1,325.

Either way, $1.3-$1.5k for a one way business class seat from Australia to SE Asia is quite a good deal. Beats paying $3k+ for a regular cash fare anyday.

Just under 2c aussie per point with anything around 90% to 100% bonus… so base fare of ~$1050, and taxes (no fuel surcharges).
