ALL of the points you earned during promotions are profits that go directly to Qantas and Jetstar!! lol.Jetstar did this to my flight from Melbourne to Singapore. For a seat I upgraded to for $25 preferred seat (very first row window seat in economy) and changed me to middle row to the preferred seats at the very back row. To another "preferred" peassenger or someone higher up that works for their company. And they didn't even change aircraft! And I complained and want a refund to give up my upgraded seat and the customer support person and check-in staff said they can't because the preferred seat fee is non-refundable. Such scumbags. Knowing Jetstar they'd sue me if they could but they won't because I have my boarding pass and email notification of the seat which I received versus what I got on my boarding pass. That is why I never take Jetstar because of the coughty company executive and the bogans that take it. However I still take Qantas but they won't be getting any money out of me as I am only using points from credit cards I earned during promotions efinitely won't earn a single cent of revenue from me for their coughty values and priorities that part is 100% certain.
The airlines sell the points to banks and credit cards, who then give them to you. And you give them back to the airline, at a profit.
