Qantas is having a 40% off sale at the moment , so that is a decent discount off of the normal price
NZD307.50 a year is a pretty decent price, though if you have an overseas address you can use, you may be able to do better
According to https://www.qantas.com/travel/airlin...ypes/global/en , for countries other than AU/NZ , the cost for 4 years is A$1,350 which ( assuming a 40% discount available) would come to $810 which would work out at AUD202.50 per year

In NZ the use of the lounges is pretty limited

If you enter your country as "other" for tax purposes (you don't need to enter an actual address) you can get the 4 years for $810 + $206 joining fee, so $1026 AUD (~$256 p.a). Not sure how people are avoiding the joining fee, unless they are current members of course?
If they don't then signing up for a 4 yrs period is the best option
At A$256 pa it will quickly pay for itself.
Just another couple of quick questions
Does this happen sort of instantly as i have travel coming up in about a weeks time ?
And do you need to have the card with you when entering the lounge?

You do not need the card. Even if not shown on boarding pass, agents at the lounge can check whether you are a member
As long as you will use it for 4 years, I would go for that since I don't recall this tyoe of discount to be frequent enough to have an expectation of renewing in a year or 2's time with such a discount
Not sure on how long it takes, but wouldn't expect it to take too long to process
Not sure how it will pay for itself though, unless you are paying for lounge access currently

I have been asked for my QC card, in the Adelaide Domestic lounge, when the details needed were clearly on my boarding pass.
For 40% off I would recommend joining. Free 3rd checked bag going to/from USA, and if you fly with AA you can access some of their lounges. I'd have the actual card on your for AA access if you are below Gold status with OW, some AA lounge staff are not the most helpful.

I think the fact that it is a joint-use terminal means they probably get more "trying it on" than in other locations.
