Is there a way to check points redeemed for flights from years ago?

In 2019, I managed to redeem using QF classic rewards
- HKG-DXB-OSL on Emirates in first
- TXL-DOH-SIN on Qatar Airways in business

I'm trying to recall how many QF points were used. The points cost is not shown in the e-ticket and the QF transaction page don't go back far enough.

Does anyone know if there is any other way I could check the number of points that were required back then for these flights?
 
Check your email for the booking/reservation confirmation?
This should have the e-ticket PDF attached of course, with the body of the email containing the miles + taxes cost.
 
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

Yeah surprisingly the PDF e-ticket shows only the $ cost but not the points redeemed.

Yup makes sense. What about the actual body of the email itself?
You could run a search through your emails using the PNR from the PDF.

You can email QF but it'll cost you 6000 points IIRC.
 
Probably not the best technique, and depends on how long you keep your emails, but I've used old emails from QF to get an estimate of points used. (Since the emails tend to include your current* points balance - compare the balance on emails before and after the date).

*Often has a bit of a lag, but unless you're redeeming and earning heaps, it's good enough ballpark.
 
Depending in 2019 when you redeemed the flight the points may have changed. In June 2019 QF adjusted the points required for redemptions. If you look up the milage tables for your flights this should give you a pretty good idea. I tried to find the link and would have posted it however the QF site from my device is not working. From memory the tables list points that were required prior to the announcement (Jun 19), the transitional period to some time in Sep 19 and then new rates. Your EK flights may be a little more difficult to work out as these were originally not impacted however QF moved EK rewards to the partner rates in Aug 20.
 
You can ask qantas privacy team to handover your data. You should get, among other things, your lifetime qff transaction history. Will take a few weeks from memory.
 
Thanks all

Other than contacting Qantas, I've concluded that nothing they sent at the time of booking showed the amount of points deducted. The points balance emails would have helped but I unhelpfully deleted those emails.

My email search however did find an excel spreadsheet that I put together around the time of the trip where I recorded all the various trip permutations and points costs. Points costs differed for different alliance carriers but were the same between regions regardless of departure/arrival cities (eg HK-Munich had same points cost as SG-Vienna).

So my best guess was that my EK F HKG-DXB-OSL was likely 126,000 QF points (plus HKD 884) and QR J TXL-DOH-SIN was likely 92,000 QF points (plus AUD 443).

Edit: I think points I posted were for 2 so I edited and halved it.
