Points Club/ Points Club Plus

[XavierP]

Just out of curiosity as I keep seeing this a bit "Exclusive flying offers" for PC/PC+ members:

• How does QF announce these?
• Are these flying offers something that they email to PC/PC+ members or is this an automatic promo that pops up in your account?
• How often do these run?
• Do they clearly say exclusive to PC/PC+ members?

I am just trying to differentiate and also want to keep an eye out when these offers are available.

Thank you.

From memory there was some discussion on special offers / promos.

I recall some promos with extra points flying, extra points for hotels etc

I'm 996 pts short of retaining Points Club with 4 days left in my membership year.

I've just had my latest CC statement points land, so spending more on the CC as per usual won't get me points in time.

I've also done all the Qantas Wellbeing quizzes etc as well so I've pretty much exhausted most things that would get me points in <4 days.

Buying alcohol is useless to me as I don't drink, therefore I'm thinking if it's worth just spending the $56 to top-up (ie. the worst way to earn points) 1k points to retain PC for another year.

Seems like the most cost effective option as I'm just short by 996 pts.

Any boosters in Everyday Rewards (noting EDR converts at 2:1)?

You could buy $350 of Wish (or other) giftcards from Qantas Marketplace too.

Subscribe to Kayo via the QFF link before end of month for $30, you get 1,000 points 2 days later (and 10 SCs 2 days after that)?

Thankyou for the suggestions.

The only useful Booster I have in the Rewards app is 2k bonus ER points for $100 spent at Woolworths, however I've just done a shop at Coles / am done for the week and also weary of the time required for the points to land and be transferred if I do a $100 shop at WW.

Also, I don't really watch sports either, so Kayo isn't of use to me - yep, I'm very "boring" - don't drink or watch sports not available on FTA TV

I guess the quickest option would be to just top-up 1k points for $56.

Even if you subscribe and don’t watch, the Kayo sub for 1,000 points at $30 is cheaper than buying the points direct. Just need to cancel Kayo as soon as the points hit, which is usually the next day (probably canceling right away is fine, but I’d wait until they’re in)

Woolworths EDR points convert instantly to Qantas IME - once you cross 2k points, 1k points will land in your Qantas account (as will 10SC if you're registered for on the ground SCs). Absent booze, is it time to refill the freezer?

Otherwise, Kayo will work as @Flyerwin and @dairyfloss suggest and will be cheaper than topup points (and will yield 10SC if you registered for the 'on the ground' promo).

Subscribe to the on the ground promo first:

https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/member-offers/status-on-the-ground.html

Then sign up to Kayo here:

https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/partners/kayo-sports.html

You get the 1,000 points practically on the same day, status credits 2 days later.
Just cancel the monthly subscription immediately.

It's $30 for 1,000 points and 10 status credits - not bad. Better deal that $56 which is what you were thinking of doing.
