Buying wine for the points

A bonus-points offer is a way of buying Qantas Points, with wine attached. The cents-per-point column is what each point costs you if you treat the wine as worth nothing.

The rate comes almost entirely from the bonus. Base earn is one point per dollar spent, so on a $474 case that is 474 points against a 24,000-point bonus. Two cases at the same price with different bonuses sit far apart in this table.

Points bought this way cost around 2 cents each. What a point is worth on the way out depends on redemption: roughly 0.6 cents against a gift card, 2 to 3 cents against a long-haul business seat. None of that appears in this table.

Membership changes the base earn but not the bonus. At three points per dollar the same case earns 1,422 base points instead of 474, which moves every rate without changing which case carries the biggest bonus.

The outlay is per case, not per bottle. A top-ranked offer is often $400 or more for six or twelve bottles.

The table ranks the rate. It does not know what points are worth to you, or whether you would drink the wine.

About these numbers

Points per dollar is the total Qantas Points earned on a case divided by its price — bonus points plus the base earn. Higher is better. A large headline points figure is not the same thing: 24,000 points on a $474 case beats 30,000 on a $657 one.

Prices and points are per case, not per bottle. Where a case size is known it is shown beside the wine.

Earn rate sets the base earn. Standard is 1 Qantas Point per $1 spent, Points Club is 3, and Points Club Plus is 3 with 10% off the price — under which the price column shows the member price and the standard price is struck through beside it. Bonus points are the same on all three.

This covers the store's bonus-points listing, which is swept hourly. It is not the full catalogue, and a sweep occasionally misses a few items, so treat it as a good view rather than an exhaustive one. Offers are removed once they stop appearing.
