Stop Wasting Money on Travel: Master the Points Game
Turn your everyday spending into business class seats and luxury getaways with the 2026 edition of the Australian Points Playbook.
Not into points? You're leaving money on the table.
📉 The Reality
Every year, Australians earn hundreds of billions of points. If you are not in on the game or are not earning hundreds of thousands of points each year yourself, you are missing out on valuable travel rewards.
📈 The Proof
In 2025, even in a 'slow' earning year, we accumulated 578,468 points across the Qantas and Velocity programs. That’s not just a balance sitting in an account - it's free flights around Australia and the globe.
We show you exactly how we did it - and how you can, too.
