Qantas Cash regular use

[bdruce]

You can only load via qantascash.com using BPAY or POLI, or via your bank using BPAY, and unfortunately all loads take 2-3 business days to be processed.

I use it for small expenditure that I would have otherwise used cash and got no points. Load $50 every month and it goes.

No real need to "dump" it though ... just leave it as is, as there's no inactivity fee. If you wish, spend the remaining small $ amount at Coles or Woolworths self checkout, and then consider options for future promos

Probably right, have been wondering whether to dump or not and what promo they will come up with next. At this stage will probably keep in the hope they will have other promos to try and get us to use the card.

Yes, that was posted on AusBT overnight. A welcome improvement.

Cant be used for trs refunds apparently.
Called qantas asking if merchant deposits / refunds can be paid into the card.
They said no. There goes my last minute cash injection at the airport.
Have to carry an extra card on my trip unless I want a slow process cheque.

But otherwise I don't use it as a normal card. Better points on my amex.

I don't believe in using debit cards. And for now I can do without the additional points. Perhaps if Qantas enticed me a little more.

It is quite useful for me. I've been using it to buy Tiger's flights and pay no CC fee + get QF points

Sounds like a great idea. I hadn't thought of doing that.

I think QF Cash usage might go up.

Dear QF WP,

Right now, you could earn double Qantas Points* on all eligible purchases with Qantas Cash[SUP]®[/SUP].

Now that you’ve registered, you’ll earn double Qantas Points on all eligible purchases until 20 June 2014*.

Before you spend, make sure you activate and load Qantas Cash.
And, each time you load money on your card, you’ll be in the running to win one of ten chances to double it, up to AU $10,000[SUP]^[/SUP].
The more times you load the more chances you have to win (up to a maximum of 30 entries)[SUP]#[/SUP]. The more money you load, the more money you could win.

Loaded $1,000 on the card today and will most likely load $500 per day during the promo. This is one cow I am going to milk.
