re: Qantas/Amex Changes [consolidated threads]
I imagine it is a date set by some contract. Obviously the contract has been up for renegotition, and maybe that is the date that thechanges need to be/can be implemented.

re: Qantas/Amex Changes [consolidated threads]
I wonder if this also due to say SQ now beinga better destination for Award Points....and that QF are trying to force punters to go their way before they might actually think which burn is better.
Personally I will be keeping my points fora SQ Award anyway...but what this will do will lock me out of maybe having burnt some points to QF if an attractive special came up. I will still get some QF Awards, but will only use points gained from flying,hotel rooms, car-hire etc... |

IMHO, there are vastly superior options on the Amex program than Qantas, such as Singapore Airlines, Virgin Atlantic (and both with their extensive list of partners), Virgin Blue Velocity, Starwoord Preferred Guest etc. Even Travelkey, which basically allows you to pay any cash fare with points or the voucher you can purchase (at 1c per point) can be better value than Qantas awards [especially Anyseat Awards] |

re: Qantas/Amex Changes [consolidated threads]
Even though I feel the QF Oneworld RTW Award is good value at 140,000 FF points I am not moving my Amex MR points to QF. It would be nice if one of the other Amex airline partners had a similar type of award for the same number of points/miles.

re: Qantas/Amex Changes [consolidated threads]
On the Qantas website when doing an award booking use the multi city destination feature and put in the city pairs for multiple sectors. The award booking engine will calculate the required number of points as you start selecting flights. There are some rules like you must include 2 carriers other than QF on the itinerary, must keep it down below 35,000 miles, limited to 16 sectors, 5 stopover cities, no more than 2 stopovers in the same city etc.
If you can't book online then you can certainly use the QF service centre and they may charge you an extra 2,500 points. Total cost 142,500 QFF points for a Oneworld RTW award. In my opinion it is the best value for QFF points or even Amex MR points. There are a some threads on AFF with more detail if you are interested in the booking process. |

Frequent Flyer - Using Points - Qantas & Partner Classic Awards - Points Tables The Zone 10 award for 142,500 points (including 2,500 assisted booking fee) allows up to 35,000 miles of travel and 5 stops (>24 hours). You must use two OneWorld carriers in addition to QF, but that's pretty easy. |
