So you accidentally spent all your Qantas Points on that in-flight duty-free shopping spree, huh? Don't worry, we've all been there.
Maybe you got a little too excited about those miniature bottles of Baileys and that questionable novelty koala hat. Hey, no judgement – those things practically glow under the harsh airplane cabin lights!
But now you're eyeing that dream vacation to Fiji (because let's face it, who wouldn't?) and your points balance is looking about as exciting as last week's airplane peanuts. Fear not, fellow traveler! There's a light at the end of the runway, and it involves strategically topping up your Qantas Points.
How To Purchase Qantas Points |
Become a Qantas Point Purchasing Superhero (without the cape)
Step 1: Embrace Your Inner Frequent Flyer
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.![]()
First things first, this point-purchasing superpower is only available to Qantas Frequent Flyer members. Not a member yet? Well, what are you waiting for? Signing up is free and unlocks a world of benefits (and potential in-flight shopping regrets). Think of it as your official passport to the wonderful world of accumulating points for that next big adventure.
Step 2: Unleash Your Inner Mathematician (light math, we promise)™
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.![]()
Okay, so maybe you don't need a PhD in advanced calculus, but here's the gist: Qantas Points can be purchased in blocks of 1,000, with a minimum purchase of 1,000 and a max of 150,000 points per go. Do the math (or use your fancy calculator app) to figure out how many points you need to top up your balance for that dream vacay.
Step 3: Choose Your Weapon (of choice, for purchasing points, that is)
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.![]()
Now, for the fun part! You can whip out your trusty Visa, Mastercard, or American Express and top up online like a total boss. But if you're rocking a Diners Club or JCB card, you'll need to contact the Qantas Frequent Flyer Service Centre – just be prepared for a small service fee, which is basically like paying for the privilege of using your fancy card.
Step 4: Patience, Grasshopper
Tip: Summarize the post in one sentence.![]()
Remember, there's a limit to your point-purchasing power. You can only top up four times in a 12-month period. Think of it as Qantas' way of saying "use your points wisely, and maybe avoid that Baileys next time."
Step 5: Bask in the Glory of Upgraded Everything!
Once that purchase clears, you'll be ready to redeem those points and snag that upgrade to Business Class. Imagine sinking into those plush seats, sipping on complimentary champagne (because you're fancy now), and finally getting a decent night's sleep on a plane. Just remember, with great point-purchasing power comes great responsibility. So use them wisely, and happy travels!
