Course 06: Buying Points

Header for Course 6: Buying Points

Welcome to Course 6 of the Australian Frequent Flyer Training

Learn how to fly Business or First Class for just a fraction of the price by purchasing points!

If you don't quite have enough points to book the flights you want, buying points is an alternative strategy to significant amounts of money on premium cabin travel.

The trick is to buy frequent flyer points with a discount or bonus offer, then to redeem them for flights worth more than what you paid for the points. For example, you could buy $1,000 worth of points and redeem them for a Business Class flight that normally costs over $2,000!

This course explains how to buy and redeem points with overseas frequent flyer programs including Air Canada Aeroplan, British Airways Executive Club and Etihad Guest. It will also show you how to top up your Qantas points and Velocity points.
