Might not all the relatives want the points for themselves?????
After all it will be their finacial records that are affected....
I know what reaction my relatives would give me if I suggested such a thing to them!!!!
Not when you use those points to ticket free flights for them! Which is practically what I have done for my wife. In fact speaking of which I just burned 36000 QFF points just for her last week, maybe I can use this promotion to "restore" my account point levels, in mine and her name (and she doesn't have QFF account too) ......

The best way to do it is to get all your relatives to sign up. All of them would get a free QFF account, then transfer all the points to you.
But then all of them would ended up getting a credit request in the credit file in Baycorp/Veda Advantage. Which may not look good if they need to get a loan from the bank. So have to be careful on that.
Curiously, I have a Virgin Money Credit Card which is issued by Westpac, does anyone know if I transfer the card to Earth+ with the same credit limit would I get hit with the credit request in my credit file by Westpac?
Just rang up Westpac and they said even though Virgin credit card is issued by Westpac because they are separate companies I have to apply Earth+ then kill the Virgin credit card.
Also they mentioned that tranfers from existing Westpac credit card to Earth+ would not get 15000 bonus points.
So yes anyone who wants to get that 15000 points would have to have their credit file hit with a credit request.

I am not an expert on this but i think if the issuer is the same but you are switching products as opposed to applying for a new and seperate service they would not list it as an extra credit request, it may depend on whether their systems 'talk' to each other for different products/branding by the same issuer.
Aside from that, i distinctly remember there being something in the T&C's about not being able to do a balance transfer from a Virgin CC to an Earth CC if this applies to you.
Thanks for the advice guys. I just signed up and all was successful. Doubt I'll carry forward with my plan, I really don't want to risk any FF points I have already over someone else's $80.
Just applied and got approved with $2k limit. Not like Iplan on using it. Just getting the bonus points and free QFF.
In their confirmation letter, it states I have to supply them the QFF membership number to gt teh bonus points. But they haven't even given me my QFF membership yet! am I missing a step here? How did the rest of you got your QFF membership for free with this deal?

It asks you whether you have a QFF number. If you don't, they will send you an application form. Once you have received your QF pack or at least your FF number, ring Westpac and they will credit all points (bonus and spend on your card). You don't need to supply your QFF number upfront. Make sure you tell them by September 30 though. Hope this helps.

Well yes while a wife is relative....
....I took it more to mean, a bit more distant...like parents or siblings...AND while you could rake off the points with no benefit to them......apart from it being "nice" for you.....why should they when they could instead quite rightly use the points for themselves?
By your description with it being your wife, you are just pooling the points effectively for your joint and mutual use. You would already be sharing $$ so effectively her points are yours...and yours hers etc.....
My wife and I sign up for all these deals (and indeed some I do in her name without telling her...)....but I would never dream of suggesting to say my parents or siblings that they sign up and then transfer points to me.

Maybe because they don't travel frequently, and when they do, it's on discount fares which earn no QFF points?
In my case, I'm currently saving points to use for a trip for dad and myself to go on a road trip to Germany (previous earnings were spent on my girlfriend and myself)....so of course he'd be more than happy to pass the points on to me.
