You can use any phone (iOS, Android) that can track the steps count, no need to wearable activity tracker.

With any goal completed (e.g. daily steps or sleep time) it will post the points weekly, That should be enough to reset the Qantas account activity.

I suspect it's not available to foreigners. I just did a search on my iPhone and the only things I'm getting for Qantas are:

Qantas Airways
Qantas Entertainmen
Qantas Money
Qantas VR
Air Tracker for Qantas
T-80 for Qantas
Qantas Aircrew Club

Do you have a link I could try?

Another thread about keeping QF points alive
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/qant...-bronze-c.html “need to credit a QF domestic flight in Y to my QF account where I am only Bronze, but need to keep the miles alive”

In thread https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/qant...ion-dates.html

QF survey https://www.redplanetportal.com.au/ gets QF points. But unsure if you need to be an Au resident.

This thread, has links to other "keep QF alive" threads ---> https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/qant...0k-points.html

Does anyone know whether a transfer from Citi thank you points into QFF will extend my expiring points?
Alternatively, can anyone point me to a link for donating points? I've done this in the past but can't seem to locate the link anymore. Thanks!

Au residents can join Hoyts Reward program (movies), link QF account and get 100 QF points. QF points credit in 24 hours IME

The survey was a good idea, but no longer available.

If link doesn't work for you, they might be geoblocking it to Australia only?

If you currently have no way to earn a single point over the coming 7 months I'd question the urge to retain them and would be looking to spend. Chances are that by the time you finally do get to earn/spend, redemption rates will have deteriorated again (and maybe again ...)

Post 1 is from 2014 (has July = 7 months)
Post 14 (margarita girl) is from yesterday.
Thread had no posts from Aug 2014 to Jan 2020 (post 14)
[A good reason why old threads should not be bounced]

App not available in your country or region.

Thanks anyhow. From the sounds of it, transferring points in from Amex or Marriott should do the trick.

Sorry about resurrecting an old thread. I’m not a regular in the Qantas forum. I searched for threads with expire, expiry and expiration in the thread title and everything I found was old. Guess I could have started (another) new thread.

it’s only available to Australians and even using a foreign phone in Australia won’t allow you access unfortunately.

Spend on ebay
 
Buy something on eBay through the Qantas portal
Maybe a cable for a Dollar

Go to secureparking.com.au and book a cheap carpark. That'll cost you max $7 if you choose the right one.

From https://www.secureparking.com.au/en-...-qantas-points

Important: From 1/2/20, Qantas Frequent Flyer and Qantas Business Rewards Members will no longer be able to earn Qantas Points through Secure Parking services. All Qantas Point offers prior to this date will be honoured as per normal conditions.
That 1 Feb 2020, as per AU date conventions

More ideas?

Simply order a new membership card at a cost of 1,000 points and you'll be fine for another 18 months.

Bronze Frequent Flyer cards are only issued to eligible members residing in Australia and New Zealand.

https://qantas.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/354

I live in the U.S.

Is it possible to make a donation through the QF website? Such as to the World Wildlife Fund?

SPN Lifer Jan 11, 2020 11:20 pm

Link to the Charity option at the QFF Rewards Store
 
The fifth link in Post #6 above contains an oblique reference to this link:

https://www.qantasstore.com.au/c/Charity/11

It is reached by going to the QFF Rewards Store.

At the red Shop Rewards Store button, the word "Charity" appears among 11 ways to spend points.

SPN Lifer Jan 11, 2020 11:32 pm

That was easy.
 
I made a donation of 2900 QF points to give AUD 25 to the Australian Red Cross.
