      Isn’t Qatar and Qantas both one world ? You should be able to use points for Qatar flights

        • zerog101 on 17/09/2023 - 10:58

          One world

          • Zacsik on 17/09/2023 - 11:03

            @zerog101: Strange. Anyway, flying out of/to Australia I think Virgin are Qatar airline partners and Emrrates are Qantas airline parters. If you want to fly Qatar I reckon go for virgin points.

              @Zacsik: It might seem strange but the concept of airline alliances is not exclusive. Airlines can have bilateral partnerships with any other airline, including members of competing alliances.

              Qatar is a oneworld alliance member alongside Qantas while also a recent bilateral partner of Virgin. Emirates is not a member of oneworld but is a bilateral partner of Qantas. Qantas also has bilateral partnerships with airlines in Star Alliance and Skyteam.

        Nope, just another way Qantas screws it's customers. There is much more flight availability on the Qatar site with Avos than flights on the Qantas site with Qantas FF points.

        • zerog101 on 17/09/2023 - 10:59

          You still can though. Just not same availability it seems.

        • AircraftFreight on 17/09/2023 - 11:50

          No. Qatar has blocked Qantas FFs from buying business class reward tickets - in addition to a 99% restriction on all available economy redemptions.

          Actually no. QR is the one who is blocking availability for Qantas customers. Get the facts right before spewing bs.

          Velocity is a way better program than Qantas if you're going to Europe otherwise Qantas works well for the US

          • JutakuHome on 17/09/2023 - 14:30

            @lakes_8: Agreed. Velocity is FAR better for European and African redemptions.

            • Willi on 17/09/2023 - 16:06

              @JutakuHome: How bout Asia?

              I thought transferring velocity points into partner airlines almost reduces your FF points by half. At least Qantas has more global coverage no?

              Really tossing up on which to get for my first credit card, Qantas or Velocity or something else?

              • JutakuHome on 17/09/2023 - 19:01
                +1

                @Willi: I would say QANTAS (and therefore Jetstar) has much better availability and options for Asia. But be warned, Jetstar will likely cancel your flight because they suck

                You can book rewards flights with many airlines directly with Virgin. For example, Etihad and Qatar airlines, which gets you to most European and African cities in two flights.

                Where do you want to travel first? That’ll help you determine which program to earn points in first

              • Bedgrub on 18/09/2023 - 06:51

                @Willi: IMO, get an American Express. It will teach you some awareness around how and where you can and can’t use it, and the maths and research required to understand how to use the points will be an invaluable life skill.

    • AircraftFreight on 17/09/2023 - 11:10

      I transferred my 1.2m Amex points (Amex Centurion) over to Qatar with a 20% bonus. Will be using for QR redemptions in the near future!

            @Drakesy: Also though you know job keeper is for employees right? In a business going through covid, labour is just like any other market cost - and when it's no longer needed, you cut it. Except that labour is done by people, who would be massively harmed by layoffs, that we care about, so the government artificially bumps the demand with jobkeeper payments to smooth it out until things are back to normal.

            But no I think you would definitely be doing a better job of running an airline despite your lack of a single intelligent thought here.

                You know we are talking about CEO performance, right? That would indicate Joyce did a GOOD job if he wound up getting it for the company and Virgin didn't.

                More armchair commentary from someone who has sweet FA idea of what they are talking about. Also gotta love the self-hatred with the CEO pay stuff. Public companies are the most accountable institutions by the very nature of what they do. If Joyce was underperforming he would immediately be sacked.

                Just honestly, you guys might not like hearing about the reality because of your own individual feelings, and I'm not a particular fanboy but I'm not going to sit here and pretend to believe in some sort of weird fantasy that you guys have about it.

      If you use it for flight upgrades then about 1.8c a point. If you use it to buy items then probably around 0.5c a point. They cannot be changed into cash

      It's subjective because it ultimately depends on what you think is worth it.

      If you think a full cash fare to the USA from Aus for business class is worth it, then the points are valued at 9c to 12c per point.

      If you like breville toasters, probably 0.5c PP

        I think most credit cards only work if you are going to spend the money anyway. So if you send 3k over two months - which should be doable for most people if you use it for all your expenses?

        Also why is it only $690 of Qantas Points? Isn't it calculated at at least 1.1c a point?

            @the crocodile: Really?, i would be more worried about your grammar than my intelligence ;)

        Just saved $800 on a Qantas flight to India by NOT using their crappy website and use Cheers Travel in Adelaide.
        Only dumbos support caviar and double pay for it!

    Annual fee still seems a little steep for the amount of points or is it just me

      It is pretty good if you value the points at 1c each.

      Unfortunately credit card deals just are not as generous as they used to be.

      Nah you are not a loner. I second that.

      The main benefit I find with the NAB cards is you only need to spend $500 on any travel spend pre departure to get the included travel insurance.

      ANZ seems to be theonly other card issuer that has similar spend requirement rather than having to buy the return tickets on the card.

        Commbank offers travel insurance without needing to purchase anything travel related on their credit card.

    Also be aware of Qantas dodgey practices with FF point redemptions. I was booked on a flight, checked in and in the airport for 2 hours, at boarding gate they tore up my ticket and basically (after no info given at gate and asked a manager to come down) told me someone was willing to pay for my seat, so they got it instead.

    I have flown with my family all over the world with FF points, but now i am very nervous they will scalp my ticket and leave me stranded somewhere.

    Qantas points aren't worth much these days, id be more keen on getting velocity points instead

        Investors disagree with you.

        • Drakesy on 17/09/2023 - 12:46

          As in?

              @payless69: Well I bought into Qantas when Joyce came in $0.98 was the price of those shares, I am up about 500%+ on my investment. Better yet, due to dividends pre covid, my shares are now effectively free - whatever this is - its pure profit. And for whatever reason it goes below 0.98, I can write it off a capital loss and lower my tax burden under CGT laws.

              The rest of my QF shares are in an overseas tax shelter - under the Qantas Foreign Ownership and Investors program. Bought at $2.98 per share.
