Was going to transfer some points to maintain PCP anyway, so might as well take some bonus SC.

Any hints on where the email is from? QF or the card provider and which one?

Quite rare to see a SC earning promo like that. Not that it will make a significant difference at 5000:1.

* We are sending you this offer as you have transferred reward points earned on a credit or charge card to Qantas Points in the past. Card products referred to are not Qantas products and are not offered or issued by Qantas but by the relevant Card Partners. The applicable Card Partner is the credit provider and credit licensee under the National Consumer Credit Protection laws, where relevant. The applicable Card Partner pays Qantas in respect of Qantas Points issued in relation to a Card.

Qantas Points may only be transferred into the individual Qantas Frequent Flyer account of the cardholder.

Not particularly lucrative. I think I’ll wait for one of the 15-25% bonus offers before transferring. good for those intending to transfer and are short of SCs

Interesting no exclusions…. I was expecting it to say doesn’t count for Lifetime or P1… but there’s no mention

Yes, sorry, I meant specific exclusions for Lifetime and P1.

 

[Daver6]

I wonder if this includes card points that sweep across monthly?

Based off historical transfer offers, no - it only includes points that have been manually transferred from a program such as Ascent Premium.

 

[exceladdict]

Oh, if only everyday rewards points transfers were included...

The 100 SC cap makes the difference to P1/LTG fairly negligible so I guess it's not too surprising.

Although even without the cap I reckon Qantas would happily give someone a year of P1 for an 18m point transfer.

 

[DeKa]

I received the email. It’s not very clear what happens if you transfer a few batches of points.

Unless you're a few SC short for status, I can't really see this offer moving the needle for most people.

Yep, it’s orders of magnitude less than FBs spend to VFF SC earn and that’s capped at 120 SCs PA.

I love a good opportunity to boost the SC balance, but 100 SC for 1 million Ascent Premium points is something else.

I agree.

Though it is an interesting offer because it represents a further nudge towards tying status to credit card spend. Along with Points Club & offering SCs as part of a credit card sign-up bonus a few years back, it is an area Qantas continues to experiment with.

I got that offer maybe 3/4 years ago, and transferred around 50000 Amex points to earn around 10 status credits.

Unfortunately I haven't got an email this time, as I would happily do the same again. I know it is only a small number of status credits, but every status credits helps towards the distant lifetime gold target.

Has there been any bonus transfer offers in the last 2 years?

 

[QPProletarian]

mine aren't linked. unsure how to fix the surname issues - WBC didn't have an issue fixing it/bypassing in past.

Yeah I clicked register and transferred over a few hundred thousand points - waiting the 8 weeks to see if it worked.
