From 1 Oct 2019, 2000 Woolies = 1000 QFF, transferred as soon as 2K Reached

[p--and--t]

Every reference to 2000 is to Woolworths Points?

Yes 2000 on the WW side - converts 870 on the QF side.

I was (and still am) reading that as 2000 QFF points.

Highly unlikely given the history of the programme.

 

[GSP]

Considering points were transferring every quarter automatically, stockpiling wasn't an option anyway.

I understand that the case, but you could always just turn it off and turn it on at the opportune moment.

Not sure why you'd stockpile Woolworths Dollars, rather than just let the transfer take place.

Yes, understand that now from posts above that they don't have specials like flybuys, so my reply was if that were an option as Aisleseat hint's as a hypothetical.

Ah ok, I see what you mean. You have to choose what you want to do with them though. Either $10 off your shop, save for Christmas, or convert to QFF points.

there's an ad around that suggests 2000 Woolworths Points will transfer as 1,000 Qantas Points...

That's good news, every little bit helps (now reached 303K points, a bit to go )

Now i wish I'd stockpiled them!

 

[AisleSeat]

Just got this in the mail. Nice!

Not a promo.

 

[Jacques Vert]

I got it too. I wonder how long before Coles/FlyBuys responds?

 

[Chief Wiggum]

I just go this also. Nice. Still only a rise from 1-to-0.435 to 1-to-0.500 But a rise better than further "enhancement". Surely FlyBuys has to respond/match.

edit: Will be interesting to see if the BONUS POINTS offers are affected (downwards) to offset.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Just got email.
Spend $2000 at Woolworth group of companies, and get 1000 QFF points.
Still no direct QFF SC earn tho.

 

[exceladdict]

Wonder if QFF pricing to vendors has changed after their devaluation for good class award tickets?

 

[only4tehlulz]

I guess the recent QFF changes might have an impact and its something to see an adjustment. In any case, WWR is more of an easy way to keep QFF points from expiring rather than a way to collect reasonable points for a flights, any upwards change, I see it as a positive.

 

[bcworld]

Surely FlyBuys has to respond/match.

To be honest, 15% bonus on FB to Velocity transfers is available so often that I consider the rate to be 2:1 anyway.

"Buy lots of cornflakes and you could become Platinum One" has a certain ring to it.
