Do the T and Cs state that it has to be the date when the transfer is made or is it when it gets posted to Qantas?

The date the activity occurred, not when it gets posted unfortunately..

happened to me too! i transferred around 10am on the 1st Oct right after I registered for this promo. i had to transfer again last night... speechless haha

Yeah I figured the same would be easier than trying to argue it

Oh well, at least Marriott isn't too bad in terms of the transfer rate. Did the same thing and transferred another set of points

In terms of BP rewards to get car based SCs, it seems like bonus offers aren't as present in recent months. Even early this year they pushed it hard.

Fingers crossed I guess

Yes havent seen any good offers from BP apart from 2x points here and there?

Interesting, tried the browser version and no new offers coming up. Likely targeted

Most would not likely leave it this late for TI for a trip completed by December.

I do .. sort of.

My CC based insurance provides covers for most things, but not overseas medical in relation to pre existing conditions. I don't need that until I actually depart. So cover is purchased shortly before departure as it is generally cheaper the closer to departure it is purchased .

Nothing has posted yet, but I've just noticed this in the app. I had some everyday rewards points convert yesterday, so assume Ive ticked that box.

I bought some peanuts at WW on Thursday (a lot of peanuts - got to go to Hoyts a heap to get 1,000 points). Anyway i got the same as you in the app... But I didn't get my 10 SC yet either

i transferred right after registration in the morning 1st Oct. but its still 30th Sept US time. so my Marriott activity date is shown as 30th september although the points hit on 2nd Oct. i guess this wont count because in the T&C the activities need to happen after 1st Oct...
i could probably call up Qantas and show them proof that i transferred after registration on 1st Oct australian time but cant be bothered...

I got caught out the same way too, but being in the UK time zone it was much later on so they posted on 3 Oct with a 30 Sept date

It must literally have been just before midnight US time .

I've done another transfer of 3000 Marriott points. No real damage done as the exchange rate although not brilliant isn't terrible and I would happily exchange 6000 Marriott points for 10 SC anytime.

The risk with that is if you develop a new condition before purchase. And at our age, well, pick a day, find a new health problem you want covered.

I'm not referring to the before departure costs of a few hundred dollars in the cost of losing non refundable booking, change fees, etc. .

I can wear those.

It's cover for the likely tens of thousands of dollars in medical/repatriation costs if medical issues should occur when overseas that I leave purchase to later that is generally cheaper closer to departure.

Note I do not typically buy package tours etc. In December I have a two week trip to Middle East and Europe where I have no less than 15 separate flight/hotel bookings, all but 3 of which are fully refundable.

I did look at Qantas insurance and it 30% more than several other policies I might purchase.

Anyhow, this is getting off topic.

I purchased a combination of Wish (Woolworths Group) and digital Restaurant Choice (add to Apple Wallet and use at any restaurant) from Qantas Marketplace paying with cash rather than points.

The 3 points per $ posted today and have triggered the message about completing one category, if anyone’s looking for an option to hit the Qantas Shopping category. My total spend was $350 on those gift cards I can easily use.

This was my idea for the shopping category too, glad to hear it seems to have triggered

The check up activities (car, house) from the wellbeing app ended up in the "insurance bucket" of the status activity. No idea if they will count, but worth a try. Wondering how often the activity reset
