Wow. How things have changed in 10 years.

Very depressing....

I remember having one of those there Qantas Telstra cards.....

The loyalty/airline/banking/telecoms landscapes have changed much over the years. I wonder if we will look back in ten years time to now and marvel about how generous the program was in 2007

I still have mine here in my top drawer. In fact, the Telstra Telecard function of it is still active on my home phone account.

So is mine. Closing the ANZ card didn't seem to close that. Each month I get a line on my bill about how I haven't used it!

Most likely....

I still use the telecard; original a/c long gone.

I had over 1million of those there points; IIRC they converted to QFF at 4:1 ... I got over 250K points out of that.

I can remember getting 6 pts per $ on my ANZ VISA QF Gold card uncapped on all purchases. One time I hired a Lancer on mini lease (3 month) from Thrifty at $1,000/month on my small business. The double dip from them was a bonus 8 pts pr $. Hence I was making 1,000 x 14 = 14,000 QF points per month on the car alone.

Similarly bought two laptops for a client one time and made something like 80,000 in one transaction (enough for two people to go SYD Jakarta return).

Those were the days...especially before the big points dilution back in 2002 (2003?) - earn points on km not miles AND half the current redemption rates in some cases - SYD-CNS-SYD for about 36,000 in J class instead of 72,000,etc etc...

Still use the Telecard although rarely, last September I was awarded a huge 11 points.
