Change to Family Transfers

[Red Roo]

We have just made some changes that make it easier for you to share your Qantas Points with eligible family members.

You can now transfer between 5,000 and 100,000 Qantas Points up to 4 times every year.

We will send an email to members later today, but wanted you to be among the first to know.

For more information, see this link.

Nice, finally a genuine enhancement

Epic!

Who needs family pooling......

 

[TonyHancock]

Time to get some family me thinks!

 

[Mr_Orange]

Nice, thanks Red Roo, that is a genuinely useful e********t .

That is wonderful - the restriction was totally painful! Feeling a bit disenchanted with Qantas at the moment, so this is a good change.

Really good to see some great news from QF (although I have to admit that I did open the thread with a degree of trepidation. Sort of a Pavlovian response, I guess).

 

[Hammando]

Nice one!!!!

 

[Joshua]

This helps a lot thanks.

I've been booking my own flights through a family member's account trying to use up some points earned from shopping.

 

[PeteJ]

Excellent. A nice change.

Great to see QF is supporting families

 

[suparockin]

I didn't realise there was a cap on the amount of times you could do that?

Anyway, extra flexibility is good.

You mean you and Mrs H are finally going to get on with it? :mrgreen:

These are the kinds of changes we like, Red Roo . Tell your superiors to keep them coming

Now we can TF up to 400K between 2 accounts per year!

 

[funnymummy]

good to hear about an enhancement that is useful- well done QF - sons don't ask me to share

 

[serfty]

Epic!

Who needs family pooling......

Those who are into sharing SC's ...

Aside from that, the four times per year simply matches Velocity.

Just to check my understanding:

Say A has 5,000 and B, C, D each have 4,000.

Can A give 5,000 to B, B give 9,000 to C, C give 13,000 to D, and D give 17,000 to A, enabling it all to be pooled together while using just one of the four transfers each?

While a benefit, I'd suggest only for a small % of people hence the cost to QF low. This change is of zero beneift to me.

What about a proper beneift like the charges QF slugs frequent flyers for redemming their points on actual flights. That would be something to praise.

Why wouldn't you just have B, C and D give to A, using only one transfer per each of B, C and D and no transfers of A?

Aside from that, the four times per year simply matches Velocity.

Well then, let me change my statement:

About bl**dy time!

P.S. yes I was aware of the VFF rule...

 

[ketsuzei]

Because there's a 5,000-point minimum.
