Check your email/spam - this is targeted! Qantas is offering a 15%-40% bonus on transferred miles between April 1-14.

This should stack with the current Citi 25% bonus, for an effective 1.4375-1.75 Qantas points per TYP transferred.

Details: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/member-specials/transfer-your-rewards-points.html

Edit: Don't forget - this also stacks with the Rewards+ 10% rebate! Also, this would be an opportune time to transfer any Barclays or Cap1 points to Qantas (would turn into 1.65-2.42 Qantas points, depending on card and Barclays bonus milestones).

"Moe8555, up to 40% bonus Qantas Points if you transfer now"

The 40% is only for transfers of 2 mil+ points, so not relevant for 99% of people. It's 15% for transfers up to 500K and 25% 500K-2mil.

I saw a recommendation on an Australian site to transfer in 1000 points if you've never tramsferred before to get put on their bonus distribution list, which is exactly what I did a while back. I went from no bonus offers ever to this being my second in 4 months!  The email even states:

"We are sending you this offer as you have transferred reward points earned on a credit or charge card to Qantas Points in the past."

Being based in TLV with a strong Citi portfolio including Rewards+ and Barclays Arrival Premier, and needing 2 biz El Al to London - this is a wonderful opportunity!!

Was there a bonus period going on when you transferred the 1K?

Not that I know of, just a random transfer after reading the tip to test it out.

The countdown is on! Time’s running out to transfer your credit or charge card reward points to Qantas Points. Transfer before 14 April 2019 to earn up to 40% more Qantas Points.

The more points you transfer, the bigger your bonus
Simply transfer your reward points to Qantas Points between 1 April 2019 and 14 April 2019 to receive your bonus Qantas Points*.

Here's how it works:

Bonus Points   Points transfer
40% more Qantas Points   2,000,000 Qantas Points and over*
25% more Qantas Points   500,001 - 1,999,999 Qantas Points*

Up to 75% Qantas Promo. "Targeted" Ends 04/13
« Reply #12 on: April 07, 2019, 10:28:06 AM »
Qantas is running, as they do often, a 15, 25 & 40% tiered & targeted promotion concurrent to a 25% Citi promo. (Citi promo is public & non targeted)


Depending on how many points are transferred you can leverage this for a 44, 56 or 75% bonus. Refer to screenshot below for exact threshold details.


In the past even those that didn't receive the targeted emails were able to call up after end of promotion period and get the bonus manually applied. (Pm for details)

Funny how someone offline with the same name said that if you didnt receive the email then youre not targeted even though the bonus shows when youre logged in and click on the link for the bonus.

From experience, Qantas posts the bonus points within 2 weeks of the promotion end (and it's written as such in the fine print).  It isn't an instant 15-40%, so it won't work for immediate booking needs.
