Westpac Altitude now convert points to Asia Miles

[KLN]

Is this a good thing?
has anyone used Asia Miles before.
thinking this could be a good thing seeing though unable to transfer to QFF anymore.
just tried a dummy booking using points and it will let you book with points on Q - 175,000 for return syd - CDG in Business.

am i reading this correctly?

Yes , 175K in points.. Also you need check the points exchange rate. Is it 1 : 1 ?

 

[KLN]

no such luck.
2 for 1, so that would be 350,000 Altitude points.
am used to that anyway (get 2for1 using the amex part of this anyway)
still an interesting way of still flying Red Roo though

This is a lot better than the current BMW AMEX offer. With BMW amex, I get 1 QQF points per dollar, with Altitude Platinum I get 3 points for every $1 I spend on amex, which equals to 1.5 asiamiles.
