Need New Card Before Points Expire

[Raimondo D'Inzeo]

Hi all.

I got an email to tell me my QFF points (180,000) will expire at the end of October if I don't use them. I got rid of a CC last year when clearing debts. Now I guess there's an opportunity to keep the points I have and get some new ones with a new CC. There's some purchases I expect soon that could easily cover 5K in 3months. Looks like some bonus offers out there right now that I will investigate. Unfortunately I don't work for a bank anymore that covered the annual fee and gave a preferential rate.

Main uses for the points would be flights/upgrades/hotels.

Anyway, hopefully some helpful threads (and members) to check out - it may take me some time

Cheers,

Raimondo.

Welcome to AFF @Raimondo D'Inzeo - you'll find lots here to keep you going.

One question about your Qantas points. They only expire if there hasn't been any activity in our QFF account for 18 months - It's not from the date you earned the points, unlike some other airlines' scheme. Where did the email come from? https://www.qantas.com/en-au/frequent-flyer/member-support/points-expiry

If that is the case, all you need to get some new points into your account. Woolworths is an quick and easy route https://shopping.qantas.com/everyday-rewards
