What can you do with 150,000 Qantas Points?
150,000 Qantas Points can go a long way – even if you’re after Business Class comfort. Just keep in mind that these reward flights are in very high demand, so being flexible in your searches is essential. Fees and taxes are also payable on top of the points amounts needed. Here are some of our favourite picks.
1. Ultimate Emirates First Class indulgence to New Zealand
Emirates First Class flights are among the best ways to redeem your Qantas Points. Qantas Frequent Flyer is one of the only remaining partners with access to Emirates First Class reward seats.
You can enjoy the luxuries of First Class on Emirates’ Sydney-Christchurch flights from 64,500 Qantas Points (+$195 AUD~) one-way, or 129,000 points (+$308 AUD~) return. Think Qantas First Class lounge access out of Sydney, caviar and three-course meals, Dom Pérignon and even an indulgent shower in the skies.

2. A Fiji or NZ getaway for two with a Business Class upgrade
Fiji Airways is another key Qantas partner – and has the added benefit of being on the same rewards table as Qantas. You can combine Qantas and Fiji Airways flights in one reward and pay the same rate.
Just 41,500 Qantas Points (+$114 AUD~) will see you sitting happily in a modern Airbus A350 on the Sydney-Nadi route. That’s 83,000 points (+$291 AUD~) for one return trip in Business or 166,000 points (+$582 AUD~) for two people return. After all, the experience is better shared, right?
Pick up 16,000 points on top of your 150K points balance and you’re all set for a Fiji getaway in Business Class comfort. Or compromise and fly there in Economy and back in Business Class for 59,500 pts (+$291 AUD~) per person.

3. Explore more of our beautiful backyard
Qantas domestic flights start from just 8,000 points in Economy, one-way. That’s up to 18 Economy reward seats from your balance of 150,000 points on routes such as Melbourne-Launceston (+$55 AUD~) or Sydney-Gold Coast (+$56 AUD~). Why not take the whole family on an intercity or regional escape?
Longer routes such as Sydney-Adelaide start from 12,000 points (+$56 AUD~) while transcontinental journeys such as Perth-Brisbane cost 18,000 points (+$54 AUD~), both one-way in Economy. With 150,000 points, you can easily travel the country on reward flights.
~Qantas Points and taxes, fees and carrier charges quoted for Classic Flight Rewards are accurate as at 13 March 2025 and are subject to change.
Qantas Premier Platinum
- Sign-up Bonus: Up to 90,000 bonus Qantas Points

- Annual Fee: $349 for the first year and $399 p.a. ongoing
The Qantas Premier Platinum card offers 50,000 bonus Qantas Points for new cardholders who spend $5,000 or more on eligible purchases within 3 months from approval, and an additional 40,000 bonus Qantas Points for those who haven’t earned Qantas Points with a credit or charge card in the last 12 months.

…dealing with OPTUS has been a nightmare both for myself and a friend. We both failed – in on case to get the order processed and in the other code to get the account set up…OPTUS have been completely USELESS!!!
Look, it’s all very well letting people know about these deals, BUT, it’s also helpful if somebody at Point Hacks has actually tried to get them to work – otherwise we’re all wasting our time.
FWIW signed up for an eSIM expected to receive the QR code to activate the account by email (as per the instructions in the email), which never arrived. Couldn’t set up the app and online account since the account wasn’ activated. The account couldn’t be activated without the QR code. The “customer service” can centre agents were utterly useless. The account also couldn’t be activated within the end date of the promotion although the eIM was ordered within the promotion period.
I was also about to buy a new eSIM capable phone (I have iPhone with Telstra, which I presumed was locked to Tlestra).
Luckily, the agent in the local Optus dealer let me know that an iPhone from Telstra probably wasn’t locked to that a carrier and offered to let me try an Optus Sim in my iPhone. It worked, avoiding the need to buy a whole new phone.
And then after some days the eSIM arrived by email!
Now waiting to see if the 60,000 points are honoured given the eSIM was ordered within the promo period, even though the Sim isn’t activated in the period…
re: australiansuper acc, what is the go if I am already with Q super with QLD health deducting payments from my Q super account fortnightly?
During the sign in process they ask for my employer ABN which I assume they are asking for to deduct payments from my QLD health paychecks. If I have 2 super accounts how does it work, does QLD health pay out to 2 different supers?
Look forward to hearing from you
Thanks!
The relevant terms and conditions are shown below:
(c) …contribute a minimum of $350 to their AustralianSuper account within 6 months from the date they join the Fund (being the date the new member is allocated an AustralianSuper membership number).
The total contribution amount needs to be a minimum of $350 – it can be either a single contribution or cumulative amount within 6 months from the date you have joined the Fund (being the date you open an account and are allocated an AustralianSuper membership number). If it’s under that amount, the eligibility criteria has not been met. Once the $350 minimum contribution threshold has been met you can expect to receive your points approximately 2-3 months from the contribution date.
As you can see, the terms do not clearly define contribution, so while it probably can be assumed that this would cover both concessional and non-concessional contributions, as opposed to say rollovers, it would be best to contact AustralianSuper directly to confirm.
ie buy the gift vouchers before Oct 16, and ticket and fly before June 30 2019.
The FAQ on the offer seem to imply “Yes”. But i rang qantas and they said “not sure and think maybe not”
Useless. Thoughts?
So any flights that you booked under the previous promo fall under that one, and any others that you book before Tuesday will be fall under the more recent promo.
It MAY be that having registered for the promo, AND if you have your QFF details defined in your Uber account, then it will all work, but I’d start with the QF app to be sure.
I want to know what are the criteria to be eligible for Qantas Promotions, I know it is sent to random members of QFF and a system generated but how to be eligible to get an email like Double points or status points, I am a Platinum member.
Matt
Would obviously be subject to any change fees etc.
I tried calling QFF to ask the above, and they said no, then yes then maybe – so I’m left unsure of this!
Any articles in the making re best fares for a status run whilst the double status is on?
CNS-BNE-MEL-SYD-NOU-SYD-BNE-CNS
For $1343 netting 780 status credits.
Takes a bit of work with the multi-stop booking engine.
Note you need the QF flights, not the QF-coded Air Calin between SYD and NOU
Enter in booking engine:
CNS to MEL
MEL to SYD
SYD to NOU
NOU to CNS
Choose the CNS-MEL option with the stop in BNE.
Can’t make it work forcing a MEL on the return.
Apparently, NOU airport is 50 minutes outside the town – there care some chain (and other) hotels, including Hilton and Meridien (SPG).
I’m looking to purchase RTW biz class for for two for an 8 week romp late next year (Australia through USA, Europe, return). I’m getting pressure to buy now, but wondering if I should wait for a possible January Qantas promotion for double points/status credits?
Thanks!!
Is the double SC promo mentioned above (offer 2) a targeted offer or a general offer? I haven’t received an email with the offer and nor can I find anything on the Qantas website with the offer details.
Thanks,
Kerrod.
I spent far too much time working this offer out. When using link on this article, the page would state ‘Registration Confirmation’ and as I was already logged in to my FF account, thought, yeah, is that it. Just didn’t seem to gel. In the end, I logged out of my FF account and just went back to main Qantas page and right off the bat is where I could register (the sliding content at top of page – link takes you here:
https://www.qantas.com/fflyer/dyn/memberSpecials/double-points-QF-EK?int_cam=au%3Aen%3Ahomepage-promotion%3Adouble-points-qf-ek%3Aen%3Ann&adobe_mc=MCMID%3D76137379311443825712217785782046238827%7CMCORGID%3D11B20CF953F3626B0A490D44%2540AdobeOrg%7CTS%3D1504588488
and then right in front of you is the big red button that says register now. Good luck.
Cheers. Scuba
For all. The link in the article does not allow you to register (comes up as ‘Registration confirmed’). In lieu of this, go to the main Qantas front page and in the banner area at the top (the scrolling pictures) is one that links to a page that has the option to register.
PH Mods – maybe you could update the link within the article accordingly.
Cheers. Scuba.
I wonder how they decide who to target with emails like this
Please check the terms and conditions.
Generally, you are only allowed ONE offer! And that defaults to the first one that you register for.
Please confirm for your readers that the double points (advertised on the QF website for all) is indeed stackable with double status credits (which may be targeted by email).
Furthermore, if not stackable, folk will need to decide which they want – the points for the status! And then apply for that offer only or first.
“Only one bonus Qantas Points offer can be used per individual qualifying segment of your itinerary.”
but the double Status Credits offer differs in saying:
“Only one bonus Status Credits offer can be used per individual qualifying segment of your itinerary.”
The language from the targeted email to people that received both offers reads:
“As a special bonus for you, we are also offering double Status Credits on all eligible Qantas operated domestic or international flights with a ‘QF’ flight number on your ticket”
so it seems that the double Status Credits offer is in addition to the double Qantas Points offer.
“…This offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other bonus offer by Qantas…If you qualify for multiple offers, the offer first-registered for will be applied to each individual qualifying segment…”
If the status offer specifically states you can double dip then folk should keep a copy of the terms and conditions and challenge QF to deliver both the bonus points and status credits based on the written evidence.
However, the good news is the 20,000 points has already been credited to my account.
I’ve been looking to upgrade my S5 for a while, and when I seen this, perfect opportunity to do so with some bonus points to boot!
Thank goodness I have already registered!
Sincerely ‘Qantas Points Pig’ 🙂
Would a rewards points sweeping card (westpac altitude black, linked to QFF) count as a rewards program and therefore be excluded?
Spend from 01 – 13 June 2017
Have points credited before 13 July 2017
