Is there a way to rescue orphaned and expiring Qantas Frequent Flyer miles?
My family member has some Qantas Frequent Flyer miles that are about to expire (18 months since last earn). My own account is not expiring, and I'm planning to use its miles for future family travel.
Qantas offers a free Family Transfer program that they could use to transfer the points to me, but unfortunately they're just under the minimum threshold of 5,000 points required.
Is there any way to rescue the miles?
Best Answer
One more way to keep your points active is by regularly adding more qantas points to your account.
Qantas offers a free travel card which can be used in Australia as well (I'm assuming you are in Aus) https://www.qantasmoney.com/travel-money-card You just need to load up money in it and use it as a debit card and you get points for spending.
I use this often and it helps get some points, but ya the points per spend is very low. But helps keep your points active.
