20k points does allow a return trip to anywhere in Australia or New Zealand, so not just a domestic trip

Dave, you have hit the nail on the head! Unfortunately there is a huge number of people out there that make most their miles out of credit card spending. Whilst there are still a large number of cards out there that offer 1.5 points per Aussie dollar, you can see that the QF programme even with all the thievery last year is very competative. In the UK for example, the best that I can get is a 1.5 miles per pound and the US 1 mile per US dollar.
Unfortunately the QF programme is becoming more and more aimed at frequent shoppers. Sad but true.
