Changes starting to be reflected on the website
Classic Awards - As they are now, hard to get and no change to number of miles needed to redeem, by the loos of it
Any Seat Awards - You can now use points or Points Plus Pay to book any available seat on any Qantas flight with a QF flight number with Qantas Any Seat Awards.
Can't see how many miles are needed for an Any Seat Award yet!

Yep tell me about it
At least the classic awards are staying
but for how long do you think, I think an
enhancement will come soon removing classic awards due to the "overwhelming popularity of the new Any Seat awards"

SQ will get my AMEX points and my future custom
This is the most cynical exercise I have ever seen by Qantas. It will be the subject of ridicule in tomorrow's media no doubt.
If this is the best Qantas can do then I am pleased I held my AMEX points in reserve. I will now transfer them to SQ where they buy significantly more. Goodbye Qantas!

"Clear private data cache" fixed that one.
I don't suppose it helped that I was already logged in during the changeover!
Bet they changed a .js file or something...

Just did a quote for AnySeat awards, Sydney-Los Angeles-Mexico City is 1,840,449 return in J, and 2,256,404 for F, flying on 24th Dec and return on 7th Jan ....
Amazing Value
Surely all of us can burn points very quickly ...
