The ten-second check the points forums do by hand: enter the cash fare, the points price and the taxes on the points booking, and get the cents-per-point verdict. Above 1.2c for domestic economy, the points booking is doing its job; below 1c, pay cash and keep your points for a better day.

Why 1.2c is the benchmark: how much Qantas Points are worth. Building the balance: best Qantas cards · best Velocity cards.
