Qantas Classic Reward & Upgrade Devaluation on 5 August 2025

[muppet]

I've got a business reward seat on SQ booked via VFF points, however due to a new business reward seat now available via QFF that better aligns with my plans and dates, I'm thinking to redeem that business reward seat instead and cancel the redemption via VFF before the devaluation / points and carrier charges increase with QFF.

The current points required is 68.4k but next week that will jump to 82.1k (a massive 20%!).

If however, I redeem it and need to change my flight after next week (ie. dates etc), I assume that in addition to the regular 5k pts change fee, it would be re-calculated according to the new points structure, instead of being under the retrospective / current structure?

Thankyou! Also found it on the Qantas website too.

That's great to know - I might go ahead to secure that seat on QF.
