Ideas to Get 50,000 Qantas Frequent Flyer Points for Points Club Plus

drillvoice on 21/03/2024 - 17:50

I am keen to secure points club plus. I need to get about 50,000 more points in 160 days.

I've been knocked back for some recent credit applications (Citibank Credit, ANZ Frequent Flyer Black) so I think that door is closed to me for now.

Any ideas? I reckon I could get 10k via Red Energy, I don't fancy spending $1000 on wine. BUPA health insurance would be a good option BUT I had a policy with them until the start of March. I've also held Qantas Health Insurance/NIB in the past 12 months. So many good options not available to me! I also don't currently have a points earning credit card.

    Are you ok to share how you got 300K points in 200 days without a Qantas credit card? One option: purchase 50K for $1,427

      Suppose that means you're not sharing…

      I got 120k from health insurance, and another 90k from a Qantas points credit card. A bunch more from EDR.

    Buy GIFT CARDs at Woolworths when they have bonus points. Set auto conversion to Qantas Points. And use Gift Cards for your daily spending….. :)

      Is it possible to get gift cards at WW for woolworths? Or would this be more for JB Hifi/IKEA etc?

      I also think I'd need to buy $5000 worth of cards to get 50,000 points which is possibly more than I'm up for!

        Is it possible to get gift cards at WW for woolworths?

        Yes, but you generally cannot earn any Everyday Rewards points when purchasing Woolworths Group gift cards.

        Having said that, there is currently an online promotion where you can earn 2,500 bonus Everyday Rewards points when spending $350 on Everyday WISH eGift Cards.

        Or would this be more for JB Hifi/IKEA etc?

        Yeah, the reference is to the fact that most instore gift card deals at Woolworths are for bonus Everyday Rewards points. For example:

        • The current deal is for 20x bonus points on most denominations of TCN Gift, TCN Active, TCN Restaurant and Uber & Uber Eats gift cards.

        • Next week's deal is for 20x bonus points on most denominations of TCN Him, TCN Her, TCN Teen, TCN Cinema, Netflix and Stan gift cards.

        I also think I'd need to buy $5000 worth of cards to get 50,000 points which is possibly more than I'm up for!

        Correct. However, if you think about it, you could easily hit that $5,000 mark by purchasing a handful of Apple products at JB Hi-Fi haha

    If you can invest 100000 for 12months, La Trobe Financial will give you 50000 points, plus monthly interest. By 31 March

      look not actually a terrible idea - the rate looks quite good although I guess there is risk of course.

    Go for Green Tier (there are guides on OzB), choose points reward, 10,000 points.

      Does this count towards PCP, do you know?

      • spackbace on 22/03/2024 - 12:20

        Doesn't count

  • djkelly69 on 22/03/2024 - 09:21

    Think there is bonus points on both loading up a Qantas money card and Qantas hotel bookings at the moment, which might be worth looking at in the circumstances.

    Buy some wine in the qantas wine store

  • sietes on 19/04/2024 - 20:09

    Buy wine for bonus points and then sell the wine at a wine auction like mwwines.com.au or wickmans.net.au
