Qantas Status Credits "On The Ground" Discussion

[MELso]

Had 10 SCs lob in for each of shopping and retail yesterday. Not yet credited obviously.

Frustratingly, Tripadeal screwed up the billing for a ~$507 hotel booking I made at the weekend so that it only shows half the points I should earn when I stay at the end of December (~774 points vs ~1521 points). If corrected, that should be the 'holidays' category knocked off (as distinct from the 'hotels' category, which I should do next year some time).

My 4 achieved categories have all trickled through now, just waiting on Hotels which as we all know take many weeks for points to post from Expedia

The one I really cared about was Retail and lifestyle - I only buy gift vouchers (plus the twice-yearly gin to get green tier or use an expiring voucher), and although the rules don't say vouchers are in or out (meaning they are in) it is always nice to see the proof in the pudding

Apologies if this has been mentioned before:

Qudos Bank Qantas Points Saver spots you 333 points per month on a $10k deposit...

leave it there for 3 months and Banking and home loans (20 SC!) is in the bag!

Unfortunately, not that attractive for those of us who still have a home loan. That same $10k in an offset account for 3 months saves over $160 in interest. Makes the 20 SC cost over $8 each.

Always 4 wks on the dot from checkout (with activity date of checkin).
