Less than Half of Qantas Points Are Earned from Flying is an article written by the AFF editorial team:

Much the same for MrsK and me - we only get 5% of our points from flying. We're at 60% towards PCP, with still just over six months to go. We then use them for travel, and get the SCs as a bonus.Makes sense. I managed to (just) hit PC+ in my last membership year, and am on track to do it again this year. Earned a max of 5k points from flying over that time. And no CC churn either
How do you get the SC to renew platinum without flying? Asking for a friend….Earning points from flying is so passé.
Will renew PCP & Platinum this membership year without a single point earned from flying.

Award flights. They don't earn points, but earn plenty of SCs, especially when booked during DSC periods. Much cheaper than cash fares to change flight dates/destinations too .... AA awards are particularly cheap: $0 change fees.How do you get the SC to renew platinum without flying? Asking for a friend….
Oh Ok thanks, I knew that one. Thought you meant without flying at all. Dang it.Award flights. They don't earn points, but earn plenty of SCs, especially when booked during DSC periods.

I got into Points Club in 2021 and hit PC+ in 2022. On Track to PC+ again with 250,000 Qantas points collected already this year with 6 months to go. No flight points or CC churn this year either but my main source of earn - Amex Qantas Ultimate card is cutting back on points from 12/1/24. Instead of 1.25 points/$, it will only be 1.25 points/$ for first 100,000 Qantas points and then only 1 Qantas point per dollar spent after that. That will create a huge hole in my points bin.Makes sense. I managed to (just) hit PC+ in my last membership year, and am on track to do it again this year.
