Epiqure Bonus 8000 points for any 24 bottles

[Cynicor]

Yes it's about 28000 points for a $600 spend

I value those points at $1100 for my use, so I am getting paid to drink

What is your use for them? While I like to use them for 3c/point+ purposes, I value them at 2c/point to ensure I don't go crazy.

Australia to USA business class seats

192000 points +$700ish will get you a seat using FF points which is worth about $6500-$9500 depending on any sales, but for this we'll say $8000 as Qantas is generally priced around this point

Take off the $700 in taxes so $7300 is saved by using 192000 points

7300 divided into 192000 points is 3.8cents per point

So 28000 points x 3.8 cents is $1064

Ordered 2 festive dozens and 2 dozen botrytis. Never ordered before and this is month 3 of membership so I figuge I should be getting 8000+8000(bonus per 2 dozen)+2000+8000 (bonus for 1st and 4th dozen)+564x3 (3 p/$) +564 (1p/$ card) = >28000 points. At 2c/point I just got 4 dozen free wines (if i redeem prior to any potential devaluation).

Is this points calculation correct or have i missed something?

Ok, ordered another 2 dozen....you guys will be responsible for my liver transplant!:shock:. So $600 outlay should attract 28700 QF points (incl. the 900 QF points for a $600 purchase using my Amex Earth Plat card!) I'm more conservative, and using a value of $0.03 per QF point redeemed, 28700 QF points is valued at $861...so i have gained $261 + 4 dozen bottles of wine shock::shock:!)

PS: I wonder if my +1 would be annoyed if I ordered 4 dozen bottles of wine for her:mrgreen:?

Yes, & he's a very happy little vegemite - quite excited about some of the wines in the Taste of Qantas, plus we picked up a dozen stickies from De Bortoli - alas not the Noble One.

I ordered a second 2 dozen of the Festive Season Mixed Dozen. $150.00

In my Qantas FF account the first order posted 8,900 points but my second order posted just 900 points. So no 8,000 point bonus on subsequent orders it seems.

The text

Qantas epiQure members will receive 8,000 bonus points when they purchase 24 bottles or more in a single transaction*. Please note, full points earn will not appear on your tax invoice however will be credited to your account within six weeks. *Terms and conditions apply.

did flash up on the second order however.

I think you'll find that the 8000 you received is perhaps for your 4th case for the year or similar....

And that the 2 x 8000 bonus won't appear till later.

The 8000 bonus you received the first time was for ordering your 4th dozen, it's an automatic posting.

the 8000 promo per 2 dozen currently on is a seperate promo and will credit within 6 weeks

Ahh!! Thanks! It was lucky for me to get the 8,000 then, because while it was indeed my 4th dozen from epiQure, the first 2 dozen were from my previous membership year.

So I'll have another 16,000 points coming within 6 weeks? Nice!

I have now ordered 12 x dozen wines, that's still less than 6 months of wine supply.

Hmmm maybe two more orders of 2 x 12
