Here's the killer from Choice magazine: 20,000 points are worth $200 - if that is enough to make you switch then you are a mug. Look at all the other aspects of the fund before moving for the right reasons.

"What are your frequent flyer points worth?

Our 2018 investigation looked at two frequent flyer schemes: Qantas and Virgin Australia.

Qantas Frequent Flyer had roughly 12 million members, charged a one-off fee of $89.50*, and points expired if none are earned or redeemed within an 18-month period.

Your points' value depends on how you choose to redeem them - domestic flights, international flights and consumer goods all have different average rates of return...but assuming you're redeeming your points for economy airfares, your points are worth:

Qantas: Around one cent each."

This worked really well. Setup an AS account as per the instructions and made a personal contribution of over 350 dollars via bpay then got the Qantas points (took a month) and rolled them into my other fund, with no exit fees! Win/win - 350 more in super and 20000 points to spend how I want. Thanks money mag for the heads up.
