Earning Points

This is our main focus at QFlyer, maximising your status credits in the meantime.

This is the cashcow of the Qantas frequent flyer program with banks apportioning their revenue to Qantas who then set that aside for point accrual and redemption keeping a margin for themselves. The key to running a frequent flyer credit card is to ensure things are paid off in full to avoid interest, swapping cards from time to time through join offers with bonus points can be a good way to rack up extra points but be sure to cancel them and keep an eye on your overall position.

Directing your retail shopping to Woolworths, Big W and BWS will help earn additional points via the Everyday Rewards Card. There is now a Qantas online mall, with huge international brands such as Macy’s, Net-a-porter, Neiman Marcus and Pottery Barn. This is often a missed earning opportunity for many shoppers.

Many hotel groups and car hire companies will reward you with frequent flyer points. These include Hilton, Marriott, Hertz and Avis to name a few.
