Qantas Points Calculator Discrepancy?

[TrigFlyer]

Hi,

Using the Qantas points calculator (https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/calculators.html#/usepoints) I get an estimate that a return trip from Melbourne (MEL) to Honolulu (HNL) will cost 52,000 points total.

In the Qantas booking system using points, it is suggesting that one way will cost 145,700 points for the 'saver' economy fare. I am looking at flights in March 2023.

This doesn't seem right. Am I doing something wrong here?

You must be looking at Any Seats when looking for a flight. You need to click on Rewards Only to see reward/ award bookings. See my screenshot. (Also the 52000 is for Jetstar, which is why my QF flight is more than 26000).

Thanks for such a quick response! Looks like that was it.
