Qantas Points Club Discussion

Mine also took until 19th (back in July) to roll into my account.
Perhaps 19th is the magical day

It feels like someone does it in batches hence why everything gets credited on a certain day.

Points Club is renewed annually. If you received the welcome email in March 2022, that would have been for earning 150k QFF points in your membership year starting Nov 2021. Attaining both QFF status and Points Club membership will apply for the remainder of your current year and entire following year, hence why you are still Points Club until the end of this month.

A few days into November you will lose the Points Club banner and lose associated Points Club benefits.

thanks for that explanation, I was wondering if i had missed/expired/forgotten/not been given the lounge passes, but I get it now

Transferred passes (probably don't mention you've sold them - it is against the T&C) will show up for a couple of months as transferred, then drop off. There is no way to see your history after that.

oh yes, i mean I "transferred"

Qantas lounge invitations are only valid at Qantas lounges (there isn't one in Taipei) when travelling on Qantas flights (as you mentioned), so an invitation will be of no use on your itinerary.

You can pay your way into the Plaza Premium lounges at TPE.

Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE)

Your airport moment, in a class of its own. Plaza Premium Lounge is the world's largest award-winning independent lounge network, open to all travellers.

apologies, I barely remembered that china/taiwan has similar sounding airlines,
my flight has a 5 hour stop over in Shanghai (Pudong International)
operated by: China Eastern Airlines (MU Flight)


i assume that since its not QF or Jetstar, even if I did have a lounge pass, it would be usesless?

 

[Port Power]

hi everyone, apologies for the dumb questions, from a non often flyer


I wanted to check my lounge passes, but I kind of recall selling them,
"https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/the-qantas-club/complimentary-invitations.html"
just says "You don't currently hold any complimentary invitations."
which is fine. but I cant seem to find history

I just want to reiterate that lounge passes are not allowed to be sold. As @sudoer stated, selling lounged passes is against the T&Cs of Qantas frequent flyer membership. You could have your Qantas membership cancelled.

Yes, Qantas doesn't operate a lounge in Shanghai. You'll need to pay for lounge access.

Also having poked my head at both yesterday, the 39 plaza premium lounge is definitely nowhere near as good as the 36 lounge (core skyteam).

I'm not even sure if there is a paid lounge at the satellite terminal. I only saw the MU skyteam 137 lounge there and some Sydney bound flights depart from there.

If my both my partner and I are PC+, and I book a classic reward flight (flying QF) for the both of us will she also be eligible for status credits?

Yes - but she will need to get her FF membership number put against her boarding pass.

will she also be eligible for status credits?

Yes, all pax holding PC status will get SCs

ICYMI, for anyone in Points Club who doesn't have a use for their $50 voucher, there's a $55 bottle with 1000 bonus points. It's essentially free for anyone who is on PCP with the 10% off.

My bottle arrived a week after ordering.

This deal is back but now even better. A $55 bottle (before the 10% discount) with 2500 bonus points.

Buy Byron and Harold Partners Shiraz 2020 | Qantas Wine

You should have the email but here’s an offer to maintain PC each year without flying, additional CC spend points (or other on the ground earn)...

Qantas Wine Subscriptions

The headline 150K points subscription is a bit pricey but one of the midrange subscriptions could be interesting if you like trying different wines.

Buying specific wine offers is probably better value.

...aaaand it's sold out.

The holy grail is a bottle less than $50 voucher which also comes with a green leaf.

I noticed recently some good bonus points offers (> 5000 per case) that also came with a in the low $20 or less per bottle price range. Plus you can have them delivered carbon neutral

 

[Lynda2475]

Yep I was too slow but a couple of weeks ago they were selling rose by the bottle at $16 each with green leaf plus $1 for carbon neutral - that would have meant 3 bottles of wine,p and 2 green leaves using only the PC voucher.

And PC+ gets additional 10% off subscription.
Does the $50 wine voucher stack also - anyone tried....?

Hi all,

Hoping someone can help clarify here please (because the call centre sure can't):
- Qualified for PC on Jan 30.
- Received hotel/wine voucher on Feb 1.
- New QFF membership year began Mar 1.
- Requalified for PC on Jun 8.

Should I have received another hotel/wine voucher email, or should I not expect this until my new membership year on Mar 1 2024?

Thanks,
Devin

Expect the next bunch of vouchers just after your new member year.

The exception might be if you qualify for PC+ before then - you would expect the additional benefits (1st time only - they seem to be issuing subsequent year benefits based on the level attained in the previous year - which kind of makes sense).

The 150K deal isn't bad value.

At points hacks last valuation, that's worth $2700 (and worth a lot more if you can redeem for longhaul J).

This subscription is $3000, so pretty close in value. Guaranteed PC, or would go most of the way upgrading you from PC to PC+.

You could look at it as a QFF points subscription plan, with bonus wine.

Thank you for clarifying!

I'll stop holding out for the voucher and make my wine purchase already.
