So your question is "how can I get 20K QFF points without flying Qantas or spending any money?". Lots of ways to get points, sometimes in large amounts and cheaply, but they all involve spending money.

When you login to your QFF account, on the left hand side as well as just below your points balance you will see a tab called "Top-Up Points".
Click on that and select how many points you would like to purchase. I know you stated that you wanted "free" points but this is pretty much the only way to get that amount ASAP

Irish Angel, sorry been off-line for last 36 hours so only just got your PM and noticed your subsequent thread.
Purchasing them will be the quickest for them to hit your account, for them to be able to be used. Other offers would take longer to credit to your account.
