  • Your guide to Qantas Frequent Flyer Green Tier [2024]

    Nov 27, 2021, 09:40 AM

    Well said. The vitriol from the ET community is a little bit baffling and sad. I don’t recall seeing this kind of acerbic commentary when Qantas established other non-flight bolt ons to its QFF program, such as Points Club. If this initiative changes some peoples consumer behaviours to be m...

  • How to get a COVID-19 test certificate for international travel

    Oct 19, 2020, 12:15 PM

    These spurious "rapid testing" kits are a dismal solution to pre-departure screening. They have a consistently documented high rate of false negatives (up to 29%), meaning COVID positive travellers will board flights with misplaced confidence, and won't quarantine on arrival at their destination....

  • Could frequent flyer points become a traded commodity?

    Oct 07, 2020, 10:57 PM

    Leave it to Wall Street to find a way to leverage airline FF points into an exotic class of securities. Given enough time, I'm quite sure JP Morgan could parlay the smiley stamps on schoolchildren's homework into a tradable new asset, to the real benefit of nobody.

  • QFF SC earn on CX "Light" Fare - **Complex**

    Feb 19, 2024, 09:59 PM

    Hi ET folks, complex question:The Qantas QFF calculator appears incapable of computing the SC earn on CX for any economy fare below "flexible economy". It simply will not display an "economy" or "discount economy" output.I am considering flying MEL-HKG-NRT return on CX economy, paid "Light" fare ...

  • Why is Qantas Shopping so slack crediting points?

    May 09, 2022, 03:09 PM

    I use the Qantas Shopping browser extension, which purportedly helps members earn points when they make purchases online through their partner retailers. I used it for two years during the pandemic, and regularly made purchases through Apple, Country Road, David Jones, BWS, etc. On each occasion ...
