Likely a poor conversion rate, as it's not a major currency (at least by local standards).

Are you complaining? What did you expect, you could buy lunch for you and your mates for free?

Think that's a reference to waitlisted tickets, which is OK (better than the scant availability on Qantas for example), but still not...

You don't have to book the flight - you just have to receive the voucher (and of course the points) before you cancel.

Hi rep, just confirming clicking through to the Groupon app will get us the 20% cashback?

JohnHowardsEyebrows replied to  marcnunes on [Free] 90 Days Visa-Free Entry to Brazil for Australian Passport Holders
No, that's not the issue at all. I was literally charged USD in place of reais. It's not a 'fee', it's an extraordinary conversion robbery.

Number one tip for Brazil is to find some Brazilians in Aus to get your reais before you go: the ATMs in Rio's airport are literally...

Actually, all they asked was if I had the app installed, didn't give me a code or ask me to order through the app. Great deal.

You can. If you're booking domestic, the voucher works perfectly to buy one leg, and use points on the other.

Hard to imagine there would be high levels of stock when the qualifying purchase was 2 bucks, and the best vouchers were worth $40+.

JohnHowardsEyebrows replied to  daanish on Westpac Altitude Platinum Rewards Credit Card: 60000 QFF or Altitude Points ($0 Annual Fee 1st Year, $50 Qantas Rewards Fee)
Pretty sure it's a cash grab by Qantas, as it's common among card providers to charge an additional $49/50 to earn Qantas points.
