Wow, I want to give away my secrets for no remuneration - apart from having egotistic gym junkie men know who I am.

I'm sure we can come up with some generic comments.

Are they worth it? Oh if you fly alot.
Ultimately the airline benefits because they make money from the points.
The ordinary person needs to carefully consider what they expect to get and how long it will take to get there. 8000 points for an economy MEL-SYD flight is going to take 40 weeks if spending $230 at woolworths weekly. Only the individual can decide if that's worth it.
