Re: The New Altitude Platinum Card from Westpac
Actually that is a valid point about the Altitude being 0.5 Qantas points per $1 spend. The points ratios I am using above are Altitude Pts : Dollars spent.
For the past year I've simply been using my Altitude points and converting them to the retail shopping cards which for me is the best use of the points. I have become disillusioned with the schemes and look to get the value out as soon as possible which has been based on my experience of
1. Losing a large bundle of Ansett points
2. The QFF scheme reorg where they increased the required points for the worthwhile trips.
3. The Altitude scheme reorg where Westpac devalued the points
4. The poor value (to me) of the points + pay offers on Altitude.
So my mantra now is earn the points and spend them as soon as possible by convetring them to spending vouchers.
