It's still too early to call but there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Drew, Julie and Milton plan to spend the next six months in Australia. We still have some points bookings for later in the year that we are holding on to.
|
The great news is Qantas has launched the Points Club which is a boon if you accrue a lot of points through credit cards/shopping/saving/hacking rather than flying.
|
You can get the benefits of Qantas Gold without having to be in the air. Plus when you do redeem flights you now get status credits. A smart play.
|
We also review the CommBank Ultimate Awards, a compelling card with international transactions without a surcharge, travel insurance plus can be fee free with strategic spending.
|
If you are booking Airbnb soon use our link, we earn a small amount of income that we can use to make the blog better. You will also get a sneak peek at Drew's Airbnb, which is shut down until COVID19 is resolved...
