Are Frequent Flyer Programs Worthwhile?

Well I am in four programs, Qantas, Lufthansa, Virgin, and have just joined Emirates Skywards so I find them worthwhile.

This year we will be flying business class to London from Melbourne using Qantas Points. (Sadly we will be paying to fly home)

We will also be taking 5 individual one way flights around Europe courtesy of Lufthansa points earned from a ’round the world’ trip in 2017.

Over the last ten years we have taken at least one overseas journey every year on points.

Some of the basics to understand, which will be covered in later posts are;

• Don’t spend more to chase points.
• Are credit card fees for earning points worthwhile
• The range of opportunities to earn points.
• Understand how much the points are worth.
• Booking Flights
