Interesting how what was $3.50 and 1000 points became $2 and "similar to 2000 points" in the AFR article.

There are three case studies. 1. Someone switched her four home loans to Qantas for 400,000 points per year. Makes me wonder how much more interest she is paying by doing this. 2. Someone earned an undisclosed number of points by buying $2 bath ducks at Big W which earned 2000(?) points each...

I guess Qantas will change the points earning table for Finnair soon to reduce the points earn on this route. I wonder if Qantas has any regrets now for using them on the wet lease.

I'd rather they cut the $70 passenger movement charge.

So today was the second day in a row I drove my EV to a BP station to buy a donut. I'll be doing the same tomorrow to complete the 3 x 400 bonus points challenge. The things we do for 10 status credits...

The only way I can make peace with these valuations is to distinguish them from market value. AFF might value them at X cents but it doesn't mean that is what you get in the real/actual market when it comes time to earn/redeem.

And the answer is 0.56 (assuming everyone bought their gift cards with cash) $8.9m of gift cards sold in 11 days (assuming everyone paid in cash)

Troll. Joined AFF just to post the same thing 3 times.

I remember looking at this back in the day and if you're lucky it would work on the first airline but sometimes not at all. Depending on the route chosen or mix of airlines it might also work on the second airline. At the end of the day it is whatever the Qantas website says it is.

I want LTG for lounge access. I know that I will never be able to eat enough ham & cheese toasties in my life to recover the amount I will spend on status runs, yet I still want it anyway.

If you want it in 2026 then I suggest you not renew until 2 Jan.

Why are ice creams served on planes always rock hard? Do they have to set their freezers at -100°?

Goodbye to the famous OOL-MEL-AKL status run.

I wonder if SriLankan will reduce frequency or if the total market will just expand.

Is there another free Mastercard that gives you 1 Velocity point for every $1 (online) spend?

Sounds like a problem mostly for premium travellers. I think most economy travellers without lounge access would happily accept and indulge in any complimentary meal at whatever time they are offered.

Someone who is LTG will find that attractive.

One could argue that you are testing the limits of those rules by flying and crediting to separate FFP to that which you are using to gain lounge access.

Where are you getting the idea from that you can pay an annual plan in instalments? There is certainly no option to do so during the sign up process.
