Qantas frequent flyer: Should you fly again to keep your points alive?




I was about to let my Qantas Frequent Flyer points expire, then I had an epiphany.

For years, I've been a loyal Qantas Frequent Flyer member. I've flown with them all over the world, and I've racked up a decent number of points. But recently, I've been flying less and less. And as a result, my points have been slowly expiring.
I was about to let them all go, when I had an epiphany. I realized that I could actually keep my points alive by flying just one more time. So I booked a cheap flight to Melbourne, and I'm so glad I did.

Not only did I get to keep my points, but I also had a great time in Melbourne. I visited the Queen Victoria Market, I went to a footy match, and I ate some of the best food of my life.
If you're like me and you're about to let your Qantas Frequent Flyer points expire, I urge you to reconsider. It's so easy to keep them alive, and it's worth it in the long run. Here's why:
