Many thanks everybody for your replies.
First of all, it has not been my intention to "throw in a grenade and run". I only wanted information on if there is a method to get my points re-instated.
Some history;
For the last twenty or so years, I have flown domestic (every two weeks) and international (every year) during the course of my business.
When Ansett collapsed I lost over 300,000 points however, I did manage to redeem quite a few points before that happened.
I immediately joined the Qantas f/f progamme and have been a member since 2002.
When I joined, it was stated that activity had to occur within three years. This was no problem for me at the time due to my ongoing flights.
The gaolposts were changed later (not sure when) to two years and that points accumulated up to that time were to stay perpetually.
Since then, the goalposts have been changed again back to 18 months.
I retired just over two years ago, hence activity was greatly reduced except for three return flights Per/PH. taken early 2012. Just over eighteen months ago.
The accumulated points were to be used for overseas travel in the new year. (2014)
Perth/Broome flight return.
This was booked in August 2013 for flights early November 2013.
This was paid for by credit card via the frequent flyer website quoting my membership number. If I had been aware of the potential loss of my points, I most certainly would have redeemed some.
It was when I returned from Broome and opened my activity statement that I realised that my points had been cancelled.
