Points Club [launched in March 2020]

[Captain Halliday]

In the cached version there was a link to the SC earn rate for award bookings, but I’ve not been able to access it.

Was anyone able to access it before the pages were pulled?

Just noticed a few pages Qantas appears to have published before pulling down some time yesterday. Contain some new info on the club that I haven’t seen elsewhere. Google has cached some pages.
Some takeaways:

1) the plus tier will be 350,000 points. There are some exclusions, but per the limited list on this page, credit card bonus points don’t seem to be excluded.

2) for qantas hotel bookings, 25% bonus points for the lower tier and 50% for points club plus

3) points club plus gets complimentary digital qantas club membership

4) complimentary Avis upgrades

5) complimentary qantas wine premium membership for both tiers, points club plus gets 10% off orders



Apologies if this news is somewhere else but I haven’t seen it. If anyone else can scrape the site for anything else that could be interesting... it seems that these are the small print for other pages that haven’t yet been published. I wonder if those main pages are also hiding somewhere.



Here are the links which have caches

" Qantas Business Rewards Transfer will not count towards Points Club or Points Club Plus targets. "
so this sucks i just spent the last 8 months using the Amex Qantas Biz charge card to accumulate points and now it wont be counted ..

does anyone know if Amex Biz Plat point transferred to Qantas count or we need to use personal Amex cards only?

Pure speculation but if it's transferred from amex to your QFF account directly, not via business rewards, i'd imagine it would count.

Business rewards is not a Credit Card hence there is no such option. There is an AMEX that can be attached but it is direct transfer to QBR every month - there is no other option.

e.g. Buy a Qantas red e-deal MEL-SYD for $150. Earn 300 on AMEX for direct spend on Qantas. That transfers every month to QBR.

Fly that journey and earn to one's QFF account 800 points.

A few days after the flight QBR credits 160 (level 1) points. Within week or two, the QBR/AMEX kicks in and another 320 QBR points are credited, making a total of 480 QBR earned for the flight - these can be transferred to your QFF account but will not count to "Points Club".

So you have 800 QFF points that are relevant to this 20K 'flying' max.

300 for direct AMEX earn (but transferred to QBR)

480 for QBR earn directly (160 standard, 320 for buying with QBR AMEX).

All up there's a possible 1580 for that flight.

Where to find?

Where to find?

In the app, click your points amount, then on the next page it’s under Hi (your name) between your status and your member number.

Hmmm. Sadly, nothing there for me!

Found it on my app, Loyalty Bonus Offer for 0 points appears on my activity today
also? Still got 215 status points to go for the normal Loyalty Bonus.

The Points Club status bar is no longer showing up on my desktop, and nothing in the app either (Android)

Check the app. Still showing there for me, just below my name on the My QFF tab.

Check the app.

iOS or Android? This is all I see on Android 10 with latest QF app available on the Play Store - v3.53.1 (124) Build 13



Interface looks very different to iOS!

same for me on android, no points club tag (don't recall seeing it there this morning either, think it was on desktop/via mobile browser only)

Shows up on my iPhone but not on my Android phone.

The 20,000 points cap from flying seems low (if true) considering it can be reached from a single flight.

Wouldn't the return of JASAs result in revenue leakage from future DSC promotions?

I think it'll be 20k limit per flight, not a cap on all points earned on flying for an entire year.

We haven't seen the airline earning tables so don't know what rate awards will earn at...
