Since starting to chase airline points, I haven't looked into the possibility of using them to book hotels.

Is this a possibility with healhy balances of QFF, VFF and KrisFlyer points? If it is, I imagine it won't offer the point value of an international business class ticket but is it much better than buying a toaster; perhaps somewhere in between these two extremes of point value?
 
I haven't looked at using Qantas points for hotels in great detail but think the value is roughly 0.7c/point which is the same as the Qantas store?

Thanks. It's a pity there aren't more (any) hotel-orientated credit cards in Australia.
 
I'm not sure what the conversion rate is. It never seems to be consistent, so I just go for the best value.

I get enough points each year flying to the UK or Europe business class to book about 4 hotels. This is almost perfect for my European travel needs. I don't get enough points for anything else useful, flying only once a year, normally.

What are your preferred hotel reward systems and credit cards they transfer from?

I don't have any CC points (I'm retired now, so nobody wants to give me a credit card!). I just use one-world points through Malaysia Airlines.

I'm probably going to switch to another airline as they don't do Brisbane (again! 🤬) any more.
