QFF 15% Bonus points on credit or charge card transfers 6-15 November 2013

[AusTraveller]

It seems now it is QF's turn.......

Frequent Flyer - Member Specials - Card Transfer Offer

Not sure if it helps anyone.

Mods please move if this fits better elsewhere

 

[AusTraveller]

You can tell its late. I started typing an "until" date and then changed my mind to add the start date. Unfortunately leaving "until" in the header.

 

[bismarck]

Hmm.....this is quite interesting. I have a fair few points sitting in my corporate Amex so will likely take advantage of this.

Are there many cards that allow warehousing of QFF points? I thought most were direct sweep?

 

[Joshua]

Most are direct sweep yes. Besides Ascent Premium, Diners maybe? Even ones that can send to multiple airlines like Citibank have QF as a direct sweep (paid) opt-in.

A rather small window for transfers. It obviously isn't directed at direct sweep cards however I do get my CBA monthly allowance around the 8-11th, so have saved the page and will be chasing them if they don't come through.

Easy fix for a mod having his early morning coffee or 5.

Blast just transferred 2 days ago can't win sometimes

Thanks! Having a few myself this morning

Wouldn't you know it. Transferred 200k on Friday afternoon.

 

[medhead]

I wonder if virgin can match this offer?

 

[serfty]

As per the comment on direct sweep, for most this would be "Meh".

 

[Welsh-Kiwi]

Is this an email offer for specific members as I can't find it on the Qantas website.

 

[deka2]

Welsh-Kiwi, it's on the front page when you log into your account.

Have a Citibusiness CC and paid a few bills this morning.

Good offer

I have amex plat charge which I can transfer to QF but I don't think I will do it for 15%.

Interestingly, the page links to qantas.com/cards which includes all QFF earning cards, direct sweep or otherwise. Maybe, it does include the direct sweep cards. I've got a bunch of points going across during the window so will chase up the 15% bonus.

Note, the small print only allows one transfer per member .

The only one transfer could bring done people unstuck if direct sweeps count
EDR sweep small amounts each week

Besides Ascent Premium, Diners maybe?

The Diners Qantas card is a direct sweep as well. There's also Amex Corporate Spirit which allows you to transfer to QF as well as hotel programs. I still get these offers emailed because Amex clearly hasn't told QFF that I've changed my Spirit back to Ascent so that I earn more valuable Membership Rewards points.

Thanks for the heads up on one transfer, will do all my expenditure on Citibusiness over the next few days and do 1 big transfer on the 13th or something

I will find it useful, have to get ready for the world cups in 2015, both cricket (NZ and Aust) and Union later that year in the UK.

The edr card does but not the edr credit card

 

[deka2]

My problem is I earned 136 points last Saturday by scanning my EDR Card

If they transfer tomorrow, which is quite likely, that may be my one transfer.

I put several thousands of dollars on my Citibusiness today and have some more for tomorrow.

Would be a shame to miss out on the bonus points for them.
