I endorse Richard's remarks Darren, and welcome you also to FlyerTalk! This thread has to be the most informative one on the Qantas board ever.

My comment about the Amex point transfer has been answered - thanks. I read the literature brochure today, and noticed photos of a number of Ozzie cards that DID attract the 20% bonus, but no photo of an Amex card or mention of it.

The 4 x J class seats OZ-NYC for a week at the W in New York sounded like a neat deal tho!! If I transfer my million or so Amex points, it reads to me like that gives 2,000 entries into that "W" prize draw? i.e. one entry for each 5,000 point transfer?

I am flying out in 12 hours for 5 nights at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, but 5 nights FREE at the W is a great competition .. congratulations to those involved for thinking of it.

Darren, to answer a previous query, do you envisage at some point in the future that Flyer points in the QF scheme might be themselves able to be transferred to Hilton or Starwood etc as is often the case with the USA airline schemes?
