Qantas Points Club Discussion

[djkelly69]

you will find dozens of posts from members cashing out huge Qantas and Velocity balances on gift cards in early Covid - and feeling pretty smug at having done so.

OT, but I cashed out ~300k AsiaMiles for giftcards and some electronics in the middle of Covid when CX was looking shaky, and don't really regret it to be honest.

I set about to build points and SCs throughout COVID, figuring that COVID would finish and I’d have points and status to help me use them.

I don't regret cashing in QFF points for hotel stays at The Star - was upgraded to suites each time!

Does anyone know if once my membership year passes and I didn't make Points Club, and I then get hotel points for a stay that was in the previous membership year (accrual date), will Qantas automatically then give me Points Club or will I need to follow up?

(I am currently 5k points short with 5 weeks remaining, stayed recently in a hotel with 5k bonus points which may not arrive in current membership year.)

I can always buy some gift cards if that's a safer option.

Thanks

Q hotel points will fall into your accrual year, the bonus may take a bit longer (t&c's stated up to 8 weeks)
Bonus points may not show up in your total in your new year, not sure what they determine as accrual date there.
Other AFF's may have a data point.

My hotel points accrued in June but posted in July did not show up in PC tally, bit like delayed SC's.
But I did make PC+


For me, I would follow up after the hotel points land @Amanad78
Good luck and let us know the outcome.

My experience with the recent 5K promotion was that the base points and PC bonus had an activity date of the date of check-in, but the 5K bonus points had an activity date of when they posted. Something to bear in mind...

How long does the points CLUB plus status normally take to reflect on my account? I’m desperately waiting on the hundred status credits rollover for my new Travel year.... even though it says my points CLUB plus expired at the end of 2024 when it should show 2025

The 100 rollover sc should appear within a couple of days of your membership renewal. I would worry after a week or two if it is still not there. My data points: it took 1 week in April 2023 for me, and 1 day in April 2024.
