Good morning all!

Just found a great way to use up your QFF points and happy to share with you guys.

Until 27/11/17 you can save 25% off eligible products on the Qantas Store using coupon code 25OFF17.

For example, iPhone X 256GB was 281,110 pts now 210,832 (Save 70,278).

This gives you a conversion rate of 0.867 of QFF points. Still ridiculously expensive, but for anyone who has the points to burn it could be a good way to spend those points.

Discount applies to points value only on eligible products.
Excludes gift cards and vouchers, experiences, charity redemptions, Qantas epiQure products
Offer ends 11.59pm AEDT 27 November 2017.

          That article is crazy - only 140,000 points for a Round-The-World trip in Economy class (I'm too plebeian to fly Business). Up to 35,000 miles and 15 stops, wow.

          Sign up to a couple of decent credit card promotions (book your hotels on the cards to hit the required spend) and you've got enough points to circle the globe.

        • b2dz on 23/11/2017 - 11:38

          @railspider:

          Yes, however each time you sign up for a new credit card your credit rating takes a hit. So proceed with caution.

          Additionally, you need to book well in advance, unless you are at least Silver status, preferably Gold.

        pointhacks.com.au gives very very detailed articles on how to use QFF points

        From what I read, the use of QFF points (best value to worst value) can be sorted this way:
        - Seat upgrade
        - RTW redemption
        - Classic reward flights redemption
        - Sell on Ozbargain classify for 1c per point
        - everything else are almost a waste of points, (eg. QFF store, gift card redemption, pay flight ticket using points, etc etc)

      • Skramit on 23/11/2017 - 10:24

        Upgrades from Economy to Business are generally the best way to use points. Potentially $7000 or so worth of value for ~120k points on an SYD-LHR fare.

        Also Business class RTW tickets are great value.

        • railspider on 23/11/2017 - 11:52
          +5

          Obviously this depends on how much an individual values flying Business Class. I’d never spend $7000 of ‘real money’ on upgrading to Biz – so it’s silly to assign that value to the points.

          RTW though looks terrific value - gives me a good reason to keep collecting those QFF points.

        Redeeming for normal Economy flights (especially with the 30% reduction right now - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/343861) is still a much better way to use your points, I've used mine for a Jetstar flight previously without hassle. If yo

          Long Haul flights, but it's a lottery unless you have Gold or Higher status on high-volume routes.

          The best value for Platinum/Platinum One are long haul business or premium economy to Business (or Business to First) redemptions.

        If you can get it.

    • Jellyfish01 on 23/11/2017 - 09:06

      You can calculate the conversion rate as follows:

      (Points divided by price) x 100 = conversion rate.

      A popular deal for gift cards a little while ago on the Qantas store gave a conversion rate of 0.86c per point which equates to 116.4 points to the dollar I believe.

      This isn’t for gift cards though, but you can use this conversion calculation as a guide to determine if you are getting a good deal. Just make sure when dividing by price you don’t use RRP, use the sale price you can get.

      • sharky_k on 23/11/2017 - 13:17

        Gift cards often provide better value than the points/$ conversion as you can use them to buy products on sale, etc. Buying direct from Qantas store is similar value to using gift card for a full retail price item.

      Flights in Business (or First). In particular upgrades to either.

      Unfortunately it's also very difficult to use them for flights unless you're QFF Gold or higher and damn near impossible for international travel on remotely popular routes. Upgrades are an even worse proposition because you need to buy a more expensive fare to attempt an upgrade in the first place and QANTAS won't actually process upgrade requests until the day before the flight.

      TL;DR: QANTAS store may not be the most economical use of points, but it's typically the most practical, especially if you're otherwise getting your points for free (CC signon bonuses, etc). An uneconomical use of something free is still better than no use at all.

        You can call them up and get them to book reward flights on the phone showing availability above your frequent flyer status, but it's an extra fee (at least you used to be able to do this. I think it was around $40 when I did this a couple of years ago)

    • 2ndeffort on 23/11/2017 - 09:35

      Buy an economy flight then use your points to upgrade to Business class. I've done it a few times to and from LA. You cant buy the absolute lowest class discount fares but you can normally get a return economy flight for around $1500 ish then use 90k ish points each way to upgrade to Business Class. Not guaranteed, you only find out if you get the upgrade a day or so before flying but buying business class tickets straight up is probably around $5K.

      • Yafuturefavorite on 23/11/2017 - 12:18

    • Baghern on 23/11/2017 - 11:10

      No this deal is pretty awesome for Qantas and those who have no interest in buying anything else or selling the points

      People who see it as a waste have the time, the knowledge, just the pure inclination to get that value for money which can be a chore or even irrelevant to others

      What people ignore regarding points is accumulating means every year you save you've lost points on depreciation. ie 5%-10%

      There are buyers here who will buy your points through what some consider shady backdoor methods at 1c a point, so $2000 for you. You still have to put the time effort and trust into this. Not everyone is inclined to.

      The whole business class thing is only relevant to those who actually value business class at the retail price point. I like most don't so don't see the "amazing value" it is.

      If you're like me then and see the above and want an iphone X, I don't, this is great value

    Thank you! I got another wiretap.. err i mean, Google Home for 20k points !

    I couldn't get a $150 flight for that much so figured it was well spent.

    Can anyone guess which model headphone this one is?

    Is it a Sony 1000XM2? I asked chat, and they said they don't know but require 3-5 days to come back with an answer!

    Edit: doesn't look like 1000XM2, more like 1000XM. Pity. I need to use points, but rarely fly Qantas, and have no use for business class.

    Hard to find products worthwhile buying, but some people may be interested in this Tefan Air Fryer for ~22k points. The normal price in the shop is about $200.

      Thanks mate! I just ordered one. Been wanting one of these for a while but couldn't justify spending close to $200 for one. :)
