redeem points

Anyone noticed that the points required for Qantas award flights on some routes (e.g. CBR-OOL) are now showing as 30% off in Y on the QF website?

I've just redeemed QFF points for a QR redemption in J. It's confirmed but now I don't get any seat selection (even when using PNR on the QR Booking Manager portal). Just wondering what else this fare won't come with? Am I right in guessing there will be no lounge access? TIA UPDATE Just read...

Having trouble deciding what to redeem my altitude points for. Originally got the card for KF points. But international travel doesn't seem to be coming back any time soon. Any suggestions what to redeem for? KF and Velocity are both 0.33 conversion or there's an option 141k points to $500...

I have been trying to find a rewards flight from BNE to HBA either direct or via SYD. At the moment the points quoted are those for zone 3 (1201-2400 miles). The actual distance either direct or via Sydney is 1111 miles so they should be quoting points for zone 2 (601 to 1200 miles). I don't...

Hey all, I'm wondering if you can still book flights for friends on point. I recall there used to be a check box to say you were booking for someone else - but I've gone through the points booking screen by screen and can't see it. Can you still do this? I'm traveling too but I can't get a...

Hi guys, I have accumulated Amex Points, I usually used it for SQ Business Class redemption. I’ve never looked into hotel room redemption before. Just wondering is it worth considering transferring to Marriot Bonvoy? or Flight is definitely more valuable per point? Thank you

You can now redeem Qantas points at the Qantas Rewards Store to buy lift passes at five snowfields in New Zealand. Not amazing value but another option if you've got too many points and want to take a holiday in NZ. Early-bird pricing starts from 17,000 Qantas points (which gets you a pass...

So, I'm aware that Airpoints Dollars are treated like cash, with 1 Airpoints Dollar worth $1 towards the cost of a ticket. On domestic NZ bookings, you can use Airpoints to cover the entire fare including taxes. But on international bookings, you have to pay for any taxes/charges using cash...

Looking at using QFF points to purchase a JQ ticket. Only options through Q website are Starter and Max. If I purchase Starter fare can I then purchase baggage separately on Jetstar website? The Max bundle is overkill. Starter plus some baggage would be ok.

Hi all, May I ask if I can potentially make bookings for other people and myself if I get a full access to an account of my friend with QFF points. In Krisflyer is easy to add up to 5 nominees per year. QFF I read only Family members are allowed? I can check with my account as I don't...

Following on from this now closed thread Redeeming Hertz Points I can't seem to find any way to actually redeem my points. No matter what dates or locations in Australia I pick I always get the following message To be honest, the Hertz website is generally terrible to use, but I can't...

I was looking to redeem an award flight for return ticket to Japan from Australia for 85K Skywards points in J class. I couldn't find any availability, was wondering if anyone in past was successful to get this? any tricks to get this

I have read the amex us site gives this option if you have added your spouse as an additional card member for more than 90 days. Have anyone tried the same with amex Australia. Or is there any other option to transfer amex mr points to your spouse asia miles account?

So the platinum card has an earning ascent point rate of 2.25 and for every 1000 points you can redeem back $5 for cashback. I checked on amex travel website and redemption on there is also the same. Has it always been like that? Or the only time to make the most value of your points is to do...

Virgin made the call to resume the velocity redemption for international flights. Now that the transfer of ownership has completed, when will we be allowed to use the points for international flights?

Qantas now has 30% off the points required for Classic Flight Rewards on Jetstar-operated domestic flights in Australia. Book by 1 December, and travel between 1 February-31 August 2021. https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/member-offers/classic-flight-rewards-nov20.html This brings...

Due to a large KrisFlyer points balance (half a million KF) from multiple cancelled trips in 2020 and no real clue when I might be able to travel with SQ again I decided to book a VA redemption (domestic flight) using some KF points. It all appears confirmed in the SQ site and my flight is in a...

I've made two business class redemption saver bookings next year (optimistic ?) but have encountered technical errors when paying (tried multiple credit cards). SQ say they are having IT issues but this has been going on for weeks. Anyone else having trouble ?
