Hi All
I tried to search the site to find an simple answer to this question but got just as confused as trying to sort it out myself from info on the Q and VB websites, plus issues seem to be fairly specific to what one needs to do...so please direct me to the appropriate thread/article if this has already been addressed somewhere.
My questions: I am just about to start a job where I will need to fly from Adelaide to each of the mainland capitals, plus Townsville, and over to Canterbury and Auckland at least once in the next 12 months. I will probably be doing a couple of extra commutes Adelaide to Sydn and Melbourne. Obviously I want to joint up for some sort of frequently flyer membership - the choice of airline to fly is up to me. The two choices from Adelaide are Virign or Qantas. I had difficulty working out from their websites the best option regarding frequent flyer points, given the different ways they calculate and claim them. I will be paying for all costs out of my pocket and then submitting claims so anything accumulated from air fares, credit cards and accomodation goes to me
So my questions are
1. What would be the best option in terms of 'value for points'?
2. What else should I consider regarding gaining points through accommodation and credit card use?
Any suggestions, tips or direction to info that provides clarity would be most appreciated!!
TIA
