Transfer your DBS points to Qantas Frequent Flyer and get 25% more

Qantas is now running a points transfer promotion, offering a 25% bonus on top of the usual transfer rates. So that means, for every 5000 DBS points transferred, you will get 12,500 Qantas points instead of the usual 10,000.

The baseline number of points will usually show up within a couple of days (DBS says it will take up to 7 working days, but in reality it’s usually quite fast), and you will receive the bonus points by 14 November 2019.

Qantas first partnered up with DBS earlier this year in March 2019, and offered a launch offer of 20% bonus. Back then, I transferred 30,000 points to Qantas, and the bonus showed up that very weekend.

Transferring DBS points to Qantas points back in May 2019

Should you transfer your points to Qantas?

If you are familiar with the Qantas Frequent Flyer programme, you will know that the points are generally worth less than an equivalent mile on other programmes such as Krisflyer and Asia Miles, so transfer bank points to Qantas points is usually not a worthy endeavour.

Even with a 25% bonus, you will still come up short as compared to some other programmes such as Asia Miles and British Airways’ Executive Club for similar itineraries.

For instance, for Singapore-Hong Kong Cathay Pacific one-way business class seat, these are the miles required for each programme:

Programme Miles/Points required Fees
British Airways Executive Club 22,000 S$70.50
Asia Miles 25,000 HKD400 (~S$70.50)
Qantas Frequent Flyer 43,800 S$70.50

So even with the 25% bonus (or an effective 20% discount), you are still burning through more points than you would on Asia Miles or British Airways Executive Club.

What is good for Qantas points is the ability to redeem on Emirates and Jetstar services.

You can redeem Emirates business class and first class flights using Qantas points, although the surcharges are pretty expensive. For instance, a first class one-way redemption from Singapore to Melbourne on Emirates will set you back by a whopping 102,600 Qantas points and $402.60 in fees. Ouch.

But given the lack of options to earn or credit to Emirates Skywards, this is probably your best option to have a drink at the famed Emirates A380 in-flight business class bar.

For Jetstar award tickets, in my opinion they are good for short haul destinations out of Singapore. For instance, if you need a quick and cheap ticket to Bangkok, a return redemption ticket on Jetstar along with 20kg checked baggage comes at 19,200 Qantas points and $86.10 in fees.

Final thoughts

Despite being one of the most poor-value transfer partners for credit card points, Qantas has most recently devalued their points further in September making their premium cabins even more expensive to fly on with points.

Having said that, Qantas Frequent Flyer programme is not one to write off, especially if you fly alot on oneworld airlines. They are still one of the easiest way to get status on and gives you a hell lot of points when you fly on Qantas and Jetstar.

Key offers

Some of the more prominent call outs include:

All of Japan is available in Business class, including Hiroshima on SilkAir. Not the best aircraft, but better than nothing.
After a busy school holiday season, Australia is back on the list, with Adelaide, Canberra, Brisbane available for redemption.
European and US destinations are scarce this month, except in Premium Economy to Dusseldorf, Frankfurt and Los Angeles.

Full list of offers are below:

Alaska Air Mileage Plan offering 30% on miles purchases

This is even better than a 40% bonus.

Alaska Air is now doing a flash sale from now until 1 July 2019 2.59pm (30 June 2019, 11.59pm PST).

Unlike previous sales where they offer 40% bonus miles (sometimes up to 50%), Alaska Air is now offering a 30% straight up discount off the purchase price.

Offer type Effective discount
40% bonus miles 28.6%
50% bonus miles 33.3%
30% discount 30%

So if you look at the table above, you will see that a 30% discount is slightly higher than a 40% bonus, so this is a good middle ground between a 40 to 50% bonus offer.

There is a minimum number of miles you have to purchase before you enjoy the discount, and apparently this minimum differs from person to person. You will have to log into your account to see what you are targeted with. Personally I’ve been targeted with the offer provided I buy a minimum of 20,000 miles.

What are they good for?

For the uninitiated, Alaska Air has amassed quite a good portfolio of partners to earn and redeem miles on, including Japan Airlines (JAL), Cathay Pacific, Emirates and more.

One of the most widely known sweet spot with this programme is the ability to book a quasi-return trip on JAL in business class for only 25,000 miles. Specific to this promotion, that means you can buy it for US$517.34, which is an absolute steal for a ‘return’ business class trip.

How to book the ‘return’ trip on Japan Airlines:
Japan Airlines (JAL) charges only 25,000 miles for intra-Asia itineraries involving a maximum of 1 stop, to count it as a ‘one-way’ journey. Alaska Air also allows for a stopover, i.e. staying in the intermediate point for more than 24 hours.
Using the rule above, you can technically book something like, Bangkok to Singapore via Tokyo on JAL business class, which will only cost you 25,000 miles because it is technically a one-way itinerary. All you need to do is to buy another (cheaper) ticket to Bangkok to start your journey.
Another sweet spot is that JAL allows for open-jaw booking, so you can booking something like Bangkok-Osaka, then Tokyo-Singapore in a same journey.

Return trip within Asia on JAL for only 15,000 miles in Economy, 25,000 miles in Business

Remember, offer ends 1 July 2019 2.59pm!

On top of Australia and London, there are also sale fares available to New Zealand. Of which, what’s notably attractive are fares to Wellington with return fares starting from $664.

If you are looking at ExpertFlyer.com for fare class availability, you should be look at O class for Economy, T class for Premium Economy, I for Business and A for First.
