Qantas is shutting down Points Club in late 2026 — and most members don't realise what they're about to lose.

In Part 1, I break down exactly what Points Club gives you, which benefit is the crown jewel (hint: it's not the ones Qantas advertises), and how to decide between Base and Plus tiers before the window closes.

Part 2 covers the qualification playbook and your six-month action plan.

💳 Want 200,000+ points in 6 months? Here's the system that actually works.

Most Aussies are throwing away free Business Class flights every single day. 🤦‍♀️

Every time you pay for groceries, fuel, or bills with cash or debit, you're missing out on points that could fund your next overseas trip.

Here's what you need to know:

✈️ Sign-up bonuses are HUGE - One card application can net you 120,000+ points (hello Business Class to LA!)

💡 Not all cards are equal - Some earn 3 points per dollar, others just 0.5. Many have caps that stop your earning.

🎯 The smart strategy - Use Amex for maximum earning where accepted, keep Visa/Mastercard as backup

💰 Annual fees aren't scary - A $400 fee card might give you $1,600 worth of flights on sign-up alone

🔄 Transfer don't book direct - Always transfer points to airline programs. Booking direct through your bank portal costs 40% more points!

⚠️ Protect your credit score - Space out applications, pay balances in full, close cards you don't use

The biggest mistake? Choosing co-branded Qantas cards for "simplicity" - you're locked into one airline's availability and pricing.

Consider Singapore KrisFlyer or Cathay Asia Miles instead. Better availability, lower costs, same routes! ✈️
