Hello!
Happy Thursday 💃🏻 we have 3 fun deals to breakdown this week:
seats.aero subscriptions are on sale
20x everyday rewards points on Apple gift cards (this one is always popular)
20,000 extra Qantas points on some credit card sign ups
Travel offer ✈️
20% off Seats.aero Pro subscription
Seats.aero is one of the best tools for finding reward seat availability and is currently offering 20% off its annual Pro plan for new users.
That brings the price down to $96 AUD (normally $120 AUD) when you use the code UPGRADED at checkout.
With Pro, you can:
→ Year-long reward seat search (vs. 60 days on the free plan)
→ Filters for lie-flat seats, specific aircraft, routes & more
→ Remove all ads
I personally have the pro subscription and find it soooooo much easier to search for rewards seats than direct on Qantas or Velocity. The only con though is that it doesn't do connecting flights well, so I’ll usually just search for individual segments.
It’s probably not worth signing up to the annual pro subscription if you’re not a frequent points traveller. It may be better value to just sign up to the month and cancel once you’ve booked your trip. It’s a good tool though and I’m happy to support it ☺️
Gift card offer 💸
20x Everyday Rewards points on Apple Gift Cards
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your laptop or phone, this Everyday Rewards offer is an easy way to get extra value on something you were already planning to buy.
🛒 How it works
Head in-store to Woolworths before 19 August 2025
Buy Apple Gift Cards (fixed value or variable load)
Scan your Everyday Rewards card at checkout - no activation needed
Earn 20x points per $1 spent
Points usually arrive within 4 weeks
📦 Purchase limits
Up to 10 fixed value cards per day (e.g. 10 × $200 = $2,000)
Up to 10 variable load cards per day (e.g. 10 × $500 = $5,000)
That’s a limit of $7,000 in gift cards per day, equal to 140,000 Everyday Rewards points
Please note: some stores may limit the number of cards per transaction so check with staff if you're making a big purchase
💻 Example: MacBook Pro 14-inch ($2,799)
Here’s what it looks like if you pay with Apple Gift Cards:
5 × $500 variable load gift cards = $2,500
1 × $200 fixed value gift card = $200
1 × $100 fixed value gift card = $100
Total spend: $2,800
You’d get 56,000 Everyday Rewards points just from that purchase.
💸 What’s that worth?
💰 Around $280 off at Woolworths
✈️ Or convert it into 28,000 Qantas Points which is enough for:
→ 1x return economy flight from Melbourne to Fiji ($305 in fees)
→ 2x return economy flights from Melbourne to Gold Coast ($344 in fees)
Spending $2,800 on a laptop feels a lot better when you’re getting $280 back in rewards or free flights!
Credit card offer 💳
Bonus 20,000 Qantas Points
*Important reminder: credit card companies offer these bonuses because they make money from them. Please take your time when deciding whether a credit card will be more helpful or more harmful for you.
First time cardholders can now receive an extra 20,000 Qantas Points when signing up for a credit card - on top of existing sign up bonuses already offered with certain credit cards.
🛫 How it works
Check eligibility and active the offer online
Be a new Qantas credit card customer
A first-time cardholder is someone who hasn’t received Qantas Points from a Qantas earning credit card in the past 24 months
Apply for an eligible card via Qantas Cards
Make an eligible purchase within 30 days of card approval
Receive 20,000 bonus Qantas Points, added on top of the card’s existing sign up bonus
💡 Why it’s a good deal
You could stack this with existing card offers, some are already offering up to 100,000+ bonus Qantas Points
That’s enough for:
→ 6x return economy flights from Melbourne to Sydney
→ 2x return business class flights from Melbourne to Sydney
→ 1x return economy flight to Los Angeles
→ 1x one-way business class flight to Tokyo, Singapore or Honolulu
✈️ Is it worth it?
If you’re in the market for a new points earning credit card, this is one of the easiest ways to score an extra 20,000 Qantas Points without any extra spend.
🧠 Things to keep in mind
Always check annual fees, minimum spend requirements, and offer expiry dates on credit cards
This is a once off bonus, so timing it with a high value card offer makes the most of it
In case you missed it…. 🎙️
On the podcast this week:
In episode 185 of Get Rich Slow Club, Tash and Ana are joined by financial educator and author Lacey Filipich to explore what could happen to housing if mortgages become harder to access with properties that can’t be insured. They dive into how climate change is already affecting the property market, what that means for future wealth building and our financial systems.
In episode 186 of Get Rich Slow Club, Tash chats with Julian Carlo Stella, who you might know from his recently submitted finance file where he talks about earning $750k a year. Julian dives into his journey to building a $100 million property portfolio, answers community questions from Instagram, and talks about how he balances it all while competing in Ironmans in his spare time.
Things I’m loving this week:
🎲 Articulate
I loooove articulate! I’ve played it a few times recently and it’s always so much fun.
If you’re looking for more articulate vibe prompts, I downloaded an IOS app for $2 called “Be Articulate- Game Companion”.
