Qantas unveils the biggest changes to status in program history

This is also my plan but there is always a cost.

For example, Wish Gift Cards.
1 bonus pt per dollar with both Qantas & Qantas Pay?
Or 4% off on the Everyday Rewards App?
Fair point, valuing at 1c/p you’re looking at 2% difference, maybe $20 if buying $1k worth of gcs

True but if you just wanted the 1000 for the status credits, you’d still be better off chosing Diamond SNIIP rewards and just make a smaller payment.

Cheapest 1,000 points will be a $200 payment on SNIIP at Diamond level for $22.14. At the Gold level you’d need a $500 payment costing $26.85 to get 1,000 points.
There are also sniip new account bonuses from time to time to consider if you haven’t taken this up yet. I’m in a bit of an account consolidation phase so thought qantas pay might be simpler this time!

So is that $4k spend in AUD at 0.25 pts/$? (To get 1k pts towards “Banking”)

International spend earns more but you get hit with ~3% built in fee.
