Looks to be June 13th. Got me over the line for PC+ so didn't bother buying again during my membership year (ended Sept 30th).

FWIW, I got a 5000 point offer on a $300 spend in early August, eight months after my last order in early November 2023 (and got a $50 off $150 offer in April, which I didn't use).

Out of curiosity is 1.55c per point considered a good deal? (Or for wine purchases?)

Normally go the Credit Card route for points (which usually equates to ~0.002c per point (I.e 90,000 pts for ~$225)

For wine purchases yes it's fairly good. The best deals I've seen have been as low as 1.25c per point, but these don't come around often. Credit cards of course are much cheaper, but they're getting harder to do (e.g. St George/Westpac imposing 24 month exclusion period) and not suitable for everyone (retirees, unemployed, mortgaged etc).

Yep, good deal. Anything under 1.8c per point is generally good value (with 1.78c per point being the cheapest you can ever directly purchase points from Qantas if memory serves me correctly).

According to flight formula 1.15c per point was the best they have detected, not sure how long they having been covering for.

That offer was legitimately available, but I suspect it was an error listing on Qantas Wines' part as I recall seeing it in the small hours of July 1st, but by about 8am it had disappeared. Could be that it was genuinely sold out, but it was available for such a short time that I can't help but think that the interns made a data entry error (that was quickly corrected).

A couple of decimal places out. 90,000pts for $225 would be 0.25c per point. But all you’re buying is the points in this case. With the wine bonus point offers you’re also buying the wine. What the wine is worth is obviously up for debate.

…. 0.25c is correct … think I meant to say $0.0025 (not 0.0025c)

Triple points has landed, meaning nine points per dollar for PC members.

A case of Blue Pyrenees yields 28645 points for $405 at the moment for PCP members (1.41c pp).

(Must resist though and get on with drinking the stuff I've already got! EDIT - no. Have broken down, and got the last case!)

 

[StayGoldPonyboy]

Oh no I just bought 2 cases of wine yesterday, missed out

Sold out. Next best offer is $448 for 28,034 for PCP which nets 1.60c pp.

Bought 3 cases on the weekend, not bonus points

What’s been the highest discretionary bonus points offered to you by a Qantas wine agent over the phone (outside of PC/online/phone only bonus points)?

Did my first phone only purchase totalling $900 and accepted 3,000 bonus points offered by agent (in addition to PC/additional bonus points). Is this reasonable?

Seems reasonable. I have bought between $600 and $1800 and been offered between 2k to 10k discretionary points. Typically NOT in conjunction with PCP 10% off
