Best promos for Krisflyer? For those that have churned all the VA promo cards

[Dannyism]

My question is.. What are the best credit card points sign up bonuses for Krisflyer points?

For context:

I ask because I have churned the NAB bonus, the virgin money bonus and the Amex bonus... First card I'm re-eligible for would be Amex in mid march 2017.. I have 300k velocity points, my monthly spend is probably 2k. I have started churning QFF cards (such as the ANZ black). My goal is to fly myself and partner to Europe Business class on points.


Thanks!

Doesn't the ANZ black offer you to put their 'reward' points into Kris/Velocity?

ANZ Rewards Black card can be sent to KF or VA, KF is only 3:1 transfer rate unfortunately...

At a rate of 3:1

So what is worth more? 75,000 QFF points or 25,000 KF points ?

75,OOO QF definitely.

Well I had the ANZ QF black card and shut it down just before the 2nd year annual fee was due but I still liked the Veloce lounge program and cheap travel insurance but it was going to be 12 months before i could open another QF black card up again and qualify for QF sign up points, so I opened the ANZ Black Rewards card and spent enough to get the 75,000 rewards points (now up to about 100k) which i will probably sweep to Virgin at 2:1 and use on EY F flights... Before the 2nd year annual fee is due I'll close it down and switch back to the ANZ QF black just in time to be ready for the 75k QF points sign on bonus...

So i see it as both rather than one or the other...

Oh..... you can do both?! I thought it was 12 months with one or the other...

Yep, the ANZ classic, platinum and black QF cards are seen as a different product to the ANZ classic, platinum and black ANZ rewards card, so if you open one for 12 months free of charge and close just before 12 months, then you can open the card fromt he other product group, get the sign on bonus and like i said with the black card enjoy the Veloce free lounge program (which is ok, used it in several places when i had no status etc) plus the free international travel insurance after buying $250 woth of accommodation, travel, tours etc with the card...

In several months just as the 2nd year annual fee is due I'll shut my Rewards Black card and reopen the QF Black card...

If they had just offered to allow me to keep the QF black card with a reduced, or no fee, then i would have kept it open, but wasn't going to pay the $435 or so for it once they levied the annual fee for the 2nd year and get no bonus points to boot...

That is INSANE.. Thanks so much

Does anyone know if you can have both of these cards at the same time? Or should I cancel one before applying for the other?
Is it better to transfer the 75000 rewards points to Krisflyer of Velocity?

Another question about Westpac altitude points...

I am thinking of converting the 40K bonus points for the platinum card to Krisflyer points... Are the QF points worth a lot more ?

Thanks for the help
