Hello helloooo {{first_name}},
I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with life on Friday afternoon, checked the weather here in Melb and saw it was rainy and cold, so I was not thrilled. Checked the weather in Perth and saw it was 28, clear and sunny 👀
Jumped onto Google Flights and saw the 9pm Virgin flight was only $350ish for that evening (I say ONLY because I have seen some horrendous prices recently with school holidays for over double). 😂
I also had a $450 Qantas credit from my Amex to use in the next few months, and was able to book my return flight with that on Tuesday.
Sooo I booked the flights and went to Perth. And it was SO worth it for the sunshine.
It definitely wasn’t a great deal, but a good example of perks (my Qantas credit) enabling fun things in life and making it an easier decision to go just for 3 days.
It’s always important to do the math on if points and deals are worth the time & money, but I think an underrated bonus is giving yourself more options, and permission to spend on fun things (within reason ofc).
P.S. I have opened a few more spots for Tash Lends discovery calls this week if you are ready to chat about refinancing and/or buying a property ☺️
BONUS POINTS OFFER
Earn 20x Everyday Rewards points on Apple gift cards at Woolworths
🛒 How it works
No activation required
Scan your Everyday Rewards card on checkout
Receive 20x points per $1 spent
Eligible cards:
$20, $30, $50, $100, $200
$20-$500 (variable load)
💡What it’s worth
Let’s run through an example - if you were looking to buy Apple iPhone Air (512GB) for $2,199, this is what you’d pick up from Woolies:
4 x $500 Apple variable load gift cards
1 x $199 Apple variable load gift card
Then use your gift cards in store or online at Apple to complete your purchase.
That would earn you 43,980 Everyday Rewards points, which converts to 21,990 Qantas Points. With those points, you could redeem:
Return Melbourne to Sydney (economy) for 18,400 + fees & taxes
One way Sydney to Noumea (economy) for 20,700 points + fees & taxes
One way Melbourne to Bali (economy) for 20,700 points + fees & taxes
⚠️ Things to keep in mind
In store only at Woolworths (excludes Woolworths Online & MILKRUN)
Limit of 10 cards per day per member
Bonus points may take up to 14 business days to appear
BONUS POINTS OFFER
Earn up to 300,000 Qantas Points with a CommBank home loan
Important reminder: a home loan is a big financial commitment. Always make sure the loan is right for your situation, your goals and your finances before factoring in any points offer. The points are a nice bonus but they should never be the reason you choose a lender.
🛒 How it works
Head to the offer page to review the T&Cs
Apply for a new CommBank Digi Home Loan online by 30 April 2026
Link your QFF membership number in your application
Settle your loan by 29 July 2026
Receive your Qantas Points within 30 days of settlement
Points are earned based on your loan size:
$300,000–$499,999 → 100,000 Qantas Points
$500,000–$999,999 → 200,000 Qantas Points
$1,000,000+ → 300,000 Qantas Points
💡What it’s worth
Let's say you're buying (or refinancing) a home around $700,000. That loan would earn you 200,000 Qantas Points. So what does 200k points actually get you? Here are some examples:
5x Return Melbourne to Sydney (economy)
4x Return Sydney to Bali (economy)
2x Return Melbourne to Los Angeles (economy)
Return Perth to London (economy)
With the maximum offer of 300k points (loans $1M+), you're looking at a return business class flight to Europe.
⚠️ Things to keep in mind
Must be applied for directly online - broker applications are not eligible
Not available if you're refinancing an existing CommBank home loan
Doesn't apply to off the plan purchases, land, construction or bridging loans
You can only earn the points once per Qantas Frequent Flyer member
Minimum loan amount of $300k and LVR must be 80% or less
