✈️ The Points Pilot – Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to The Points Pilot FAQ.
Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions about earning, managing, and maximising Qantas Points — plus how our guides and consulting services can help you fly further for less.
🧭 What is The Points Pilot?
The Points Pilot is an independent Australian platform dedicated to helping travellers maximise their Qantas Frequent Flyer Points.
We publish step-by-step digital guides, in-depth case studies, and one-on-one consulting to help you earn more points from everyday spend, business expenses, and travel.
💡 Are you affiliated with Qantas?
No. The Points Pilot is not affiliated, associated, or endorsed by Qantas Airways Limited or any of its subsidiaries.
All Qantas trademarks are the property of Qantas Airways Limited.
We provide independent education and strategy advice to help members get more value from the Qantas Frequent Flyer program.
🏆 How can I earn Qantas Points faster?
There are five main ways most members can increase their earning rate:
Use a Qantas-earning credit card for everyday spend.
Shop through Qantas Shopping or Qantas Marketplace instead of going direct.
Book accommodation and car hire through Qantas Hotels and Qantas Cars.
Take advantage of insurance sign-up offers and ongoing premium earn.
Join Points Club or Points Club Plus to unlock extra bonuses on top of your normal activity.
Our downloadable guides show you how to combine these for consistent, compounding results.
