Neil Perry Christmas lunch is shockingly poor value

[odysseus]

Objectively, it's poor 'value' given the alternative of using the points for a flight (if one can find reward seat availability).

That's true... but how is that different from any other non-flight award?

… Anyone who avails this 'Neil Perry offer' must love being royally ripped off.

Yeah. Just stick to the toasters.

I was counting the posts until someone mentioned sliced bread recooking devices.

For the 60K price you can get up to 6 of 'em at the Qantas rewards store and have change ...

Or one third of a fancy schmancy sliced bread heating device.

Here I was thinking the link you posted, with Smeg and Dolce & Gabbana in the same sentence together, alongside the word toaster, would be to something like the Betoota Advocate, taking the proverbial. But no it’s genuine.

The cost of the NP nosh looks very reasonable in comparison to the toasters. Bargain.

Well, assuming about 50 Neil Perry leaves in each meal that would work out at about $2 plus GST for each leaf.

I don't think I'm biting.

Cheers skip

If there are people buying those toasters, the NP meals will be a sell-out.

I bought this NP Xmas lunch and it was perfect. I agree not great value in terms of flights that could have been bought, but I’ve got a gazzilion points and nowhere to go anytime soon. It essentially saved me having to use cash for Xmas dinner and it comfortably fed five of us, and we’re still going with the ham.

For those who are interested it took about an hour of prep, and about an hour in the oven.

Everything was spot on, I’d do it again next year if it’s an option.

@mikenz - totally agree with you. For something a little different our family locked in 2 of the Neil Perry Xmas Lunches. Quality, Quantity and ease of preparation was perfect. Fed 10+ across lunch, dinner and for the next few days.....

Nicely done QF and Neil Perry

Unfortunately not from my Xmas Lunch.... All our guests said they would gladly do it again....

Who cares? People value points in anyway that they deem fit.

They certainly do. Value is subjective, thankfully. A good feed for some is better than a good flight!
