[BrianQQ]

They must be implementing this for different cohorts on different dates.
No SCotG showing yet for me.

An interesting feature of SNIIP is that there is a points booster for the bills that you are going to pay, with a tiered structure.

If you really want the 20 SC for the banking category, basically any decently sized bill will do to hit the 1000 QFF points required.

Gold makes it 2 QFF / $, Platinum makes it 3 QFF / $ and Diamond makes it 5 QFF / $. With an additional fee for each one of course.

Have you done the sums on the cost per SC to know if it's good or poor value?

I was considering sniip too but I think buying GCs from marketplace for qantas pay will be easier

Are you expecting any?

Some are ridiculously easy without changing spending habits. I’ll get 100 SCs from stuff I’ll do/done anyway.

I don’t need them this year, but 50 should “rollover” into next year. A small compensation for the higher WP retain target…

As it happens, none of the earns have been within my regular spending habits. BP fuel - more expensive than where I get mine; my CC is Virgin earn, sustainability ... (suppresses a chortle); no David jones spend... Qantas insurance - you have to be kidding; no Tas utilities in their realm; I shop at Coles and IGA; Avis I credit to QR, and so on.

I do occasionally use Qantas hotels where I use points to lower the cash cost of an expensive hotel I particularly want/need to stay in.

I should end up with 2,060 SCs by the end of my year in February, which will yield a 960 surplus, so a rollover of 480, almost the max (assuming 1200 retain). All from flying (I recently took points as my loyalty bonus), and crediting some long haul to QR, to retain Gold there.
