Qantas Points Club Discussion

[SYD]

And bonus points ends today!

Yeah, I don’t even recall seeing that promo until I just had a look out of curiosity how much points were going for these days.

If I was going miss out on PC requal by a few points, I’d do the points top up thing but I’d probably know well in advance and just buy points with bonus wine.

Pretty much all that is left is a CC sign up bonus. Perhaps shelve AMEX for now and go for one of the NAB/ANZ offers for a quick churn and burn?

How long do nab bonuses take? ANZ have credited in month 2 at the earliest in my experience

Buying "Top-up" points is uncapped - if someone was desperate. But just using that cash to fly could be better value if just after SCs?

If I dropped the gap to 100k points and purchased those for $2,730 (sale now finished), and then valued the 100k points at 1c/p, the ~300sc would cost $1730 or around $5.70/SC.

Could definitely put that towards a status run instead but as you say if we were a bit closer it might be a different story.

Thanks everyone for the ideas!

I got my bonus Qantas points from NAB Black card after the second statement (the first one was after 2 weeks), after hitting the required spending in a week.

Can also confirm that anz balck was a bit slow to credit, even after meeting the min spend (and repauing the debt) mid of the first cycle. Nothing on first statement, points on the second.

What is the 300sc you talk about @exceladdict ? Is that some expected eanrs on future CR on Qantas metal, if points club is achieved?

Qantas premier platinum credits quickly. Mine came through with the first statement (and left me two days to get the balance for points club )
