You can now transfer Altitude & Amplify Points to Everyday Rewards

[AFF Editor]

Westpac Altitude and the Amplify Rewards program of St.George, Bank of Melbourne & Bank SA recently added Everyday Rewards as a transfer partner.

You can convert credit card points from Altitude and Amplify to Everyday Rewards at a rate of 3,000 to 2,000.
This is particularly interesting because, as most AFF members would know, 2,000 Everyday Rewards points are worth 1,000 Qantas points. This effectively means you can convert Altitude/Amplify points at a 3:1 rate to Qantas Frequent Flyer, which is the same rate as converting those points into KrisFlyer.

You can still earn more Qantas points by opting for a Westpac or St.George credit card that's tied directly to Qantas Frequent Flyer, but this is an interesting option nonetheless as it's quite rare.

Shocking transfer rates and trying to book seats with QFF.

Yes it's an option but not exactly an appealing combination.

This has been in New Zealand for a while. I can transfer my BNZ reward points to my Qantas account. I think it covers all bank transactions, not just credit cards.

How quickly do the points transfer? I have many Altitude rewards points....with a platinum hubby this could be very very useful.....

According to the Westpac and St George websites, it can take "up to 7 business days". In practice it's probably less than that, but I haven't tried it myself.

Can the call center make and hold a reward booking for a few days when the point balance is not enough, until some extra QFF point land?

Assuming you're talking about the Qantas call centre - no they can't.

Bit of a non story tbh

I find that if you request a Classic Reward seat release as a Platinum member, they'll be happy to hold that seat for you for at least 72 hours. Once I managed to have them hold it for 7 days.
