Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

Perhaps I am missing something - but QFF SUBs are decreasing, exclusion periods are getting longer, earn rates from card spend are falling or having monthly/annual caps introduced, annual fee increases are outpacing inflation, and card surcharges are becoming more commonplace.

From my perspective, it's getting both harder and more expensive to accumulate significant amounts of QFF points compared with any point in the last 10 years - although it is still worthwhile pursuing.

Would love to hear what makes you think it is becoming easier?
I have moved onto cash, seems allot more stable and redeemable.
 
But just consistently poor value when it comes to long haul J ex Oz….. 😔
Yes very true, you can thank old mate Catherine King for that, with the underhand deals within the private yet not so private meeting room inside the Chairman’s Lounge.

Plus China economy has tanked, Ukraine/Russia, the ME and other factors…

But that doesn’t add up to why I can buy CGK-Europe return on QR J for $3.5k but QR (or the usuals) are charging $10k to $13k ex SYD….

I’m surprised more airlines (who have existing rights) aren’t ramping up services to/from Oz?
