re: Qantas Cash Card
I loaded last night with USD, rate difference was just over 3% (I compared with XE) but for me $32 for 6000 points is worth it (5000 to load, 1000 to spend).Exchange rate is not that good. $A1000 buys $NZ1031 whereas xe.com has it at $NZ1079. That's nearly $50 to buy those points. Not bad on some scales I guess but not free that's for sure.
Hmm. Now I know why I didn't bother earlier.
If you could just load it with $A I'd be happier with it.
