Looks like Qantas has quietly removed the guaranteed points earning for cash purchases through the Marketplace. All purchases made with cash were guaranteed 3 points per dollar spent, and now it's "earn up to 3 points per $1 spent".

Looks like Gift Cards in particular have dropped in points earn - some are currently higher than normal due to a Mother's Day promo, but Woolworths Group (WISH, Big W, BWS) have dropped from 3 points per dollar to 1 plus Dan Murphy's and Amazon (which I know was unavailable to purchase with cash at a couple different stages). Airbnb, The Iconic and Uber have dropped from 3 to 2.

Most other items still appear to be at 3 for now.

Oh that sucks. Was putting most Woolworths/grocery spend through here. Woolworths app is still 3% off or 6x points, so the same under current promos at least.
