Thank you for the heads up!
Economy flight from MEL to SYD, on a particular date and time that I wanted.
Buying the Qantas economy ticket outright was $151.
Using points, cost was normally 8000 points + $35.83 in taxes.
Go the next screen now, and it showed a 25% discount on the points, so came to 6000 points + $35.83 in taxes.
Valuing points at 1.2 cents each, and adding a $0.40 booking fee for credit card, total cost was:
= 6000 * 0.012 + 35.83 + 0.40
= $108.23
Which was cheaper than the Qantas outright ticket, and also cheaper than the low cost carriers, yet includes snack and luggage, and was at a more preferable time, so it was the best option, so booked this - thanks!
Only downside is I would have bought 2 rewards tickets this way, yet only one seat was available. The availability of rewards point seats seems really bad (e.g. is it 2 economy reward seats per flight?). I quite doubt that this flight will be full - surely it's better to sell a seat using reward points than to not sell it at all?
