Double points on QF link.
Hi after many weeks of just reading post's I have taken the jump to join, hello to all.As just a low QF club bronze I look for max points. I am doing a little baby mr BNE-NTL-BNE on QF link to get double points. I also have BNE-TSV-BNE, for the price at the time was good for TSV only $59 o/w no double points as it is not a QF link flt. Mrs MR is looking fwd to an over nite trip up Nth. How ever BNE-NTL-BNE was $93 o/w she is not happy, but it does take me to the 120,000 point level. Was this good, bad or indifferent? Thks to all

Yes, tonybne, welcome to FT!
GoldFlyer, it's this promotion:-
I didn't know about it either, but it's not really much use to me.

I agree, points are nice but status credits are delicious.
Points are the toast (toast points if you like)
Status credits are the caviar that you like to plonk on top

They may be double points, but the nominated regionals are still relatively expensive flights on a mileage basis. Cheaper to fly SYD-MEL and rent a car to drive up to ABX than fly SYD-ABX. Of course, the time factor, speeding fines, stress, tiredness and availability of the QP at MEL but not ABX is not considered here.

Nice to hear my home port mentioned 
Sad there is no QP at ABX - who do I lobby for this? That said probably wouldn't use it too much. Departure is to easy: for instance I arrive 5-10 min before flight, the CSA knows me and has a BP ready to go and I'm on my way: ^ No security though! 
Double points is a nice thing, I'll be taking advantage of it. I assume it's something to claw back a few REX customers? Noted that ABX-SYD-ABX has had very good volumes lately though.
