Qantas Club Renewal - Points or Cash?

[msshe1]

Hi Everyone, I have to renew my Qantas Club membership in the next few days...The options are to use Qantas Frequent Flyer Points (75,000) or pay the renewal fee of around $500? Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.

Welcome to AFF msshe1.

When you consider what 75,000 points can get you flying, to spend that many points for a membership is very poor value.
Better pay the cash (tax deductable maybe?) and use the points for an upgrade or an award flight.

I doubt if one AFFer would spend the points on membership.

Thanks, I agree, the point redemption to dollar value doesn't equate too well

Without a doubt, pay in cash! You can get way more than $500 worth of value from 75,000 points!
