300,000+ points ITEMS IN AWARDS CATLOGUE

[PLANT]

Hi all,

Heres the deal,.... can someone email me a copy/attach a link to current awards above 300,000+ points for a standard card.

Basically parents are old and I don't have info(live in another state) to login and see whats available to discuss with them.

Cheers

I believe the only items > 300000 points are:

529,600 JVC 42inch Full HD LCD TV with DVB-T Tuner 811819
520,900 Delonghi Primadona Fully Automatic Espresso Machine 811867
495,000 Apple MacBook Air 1.6GHz 811891
471,300 Olympus E-3 Digital Camera 811799
398,600 Raymond Weil Freelancer Mens Watch 811872
354,400 Wilson Staff Full Set - Bonus Tour Bag 811873
332,300 Sony 40inch V Series Bravia LCD TV 811869

(I'm Plat though, so perhaps would get a different listing, but don't think so).

Of course there are lots of items under 300,000 points which you could add together. Cash rebates, all manner of electrical/sporting/home appliance and of course their Travel rewards and gift vouchers.

I think an electronic version of their main catalogue is here:

There are individual catalogues that are released every three months or so, but the only one I can find is a Platinum one which may not be of much use.

Just looked at Sony and saw the V series aint FULL HD actually only $1700 rubbish!

Is Commonwealth the only rewards program that forces you to use points within a certain period as he keeps telling me he has too use them before they expire?

Saw the Autum Catalogue and rubbish!

The V series isnt *that* bad.. I have the X and its pretty awesome but for a bedroom telly the V is pretty high up on my list....

But then again for 300k points i could get to MIA in J and that would get me to my next cruise!

Yeah the X series is outstanding

Any I agree - with 300,000 points you can get a RTW J class trip (worth about $10k) compared to a $1700 tv...

Just redeem these points for cash back and buy whatever you want.

[Diesellife]

Cash back is sometime very attractive but CBA has a bad comparative ratio (Some are as low as 12500pt/$100, CBA is around 20000pt/$100). so for 300,000 points, you are looking for $1500 only. Not quite a good choice...

Another way to redeem a better range of rewards is to transfer to qantas. You can always check qantas' catalogue and see if you find any better options/deals available.

Furthermore, I used to sell qantas ffp to my friends and relative. (Although there are maximum cap & transactions limit imposed). But I do earn better $$$$ compare to cash back .

What rate did you charge family?
Folks do not have QFF as don't need it
Oh its now 400,000!

[Diesellife]

The rate I charge depends on where they want to travel. And I only do it in 1x 100,000 ppt block. So there is no wastage.

Usually in average, I charge $1000-$1200 per 100,000 block.
