Our Points Advisor Service FAQs are designed to help members understand the award flight search and redemption service. Whether you book with points or cash, we ensure you have all the necessary information to make an informed decision.
Yes, but our Points Advisors go beyond standard searches by employing creative strategies across multiple platforms to quickly and efficiently find the best solutions for you. We continuously monitor availability on major airlines and routes, allowing us to pinpoint rare and hard-to-find flights on platforms like Qantas. Other redemption platforms require you to call to secure flights that are not available online.
Service fees start from a low $165 for a one-way business class search or $225 for a redemption. DFY members receive a 10% discount. You can find out more about our scheduled service fees.
Airlines require award flights to be booked through the loyalty member’s online account or via phone reservation. We need authorised access to your account to book award flights on your behalf. Rest assured, we prioritise the security and confidentiality of your information.
Points are deducted from your loyalty membership account, while the airline charges applicable taxes directly to your card. We recommend changing your password after the redemption process is complete for added security.
Finding award flight availability becomes increasingly difficult and time-consuming as the number of travellers increases. Coordinating preferences, schedules, and requirements for each individual requires careful consideration. Therefore, search and redemption fees are charged per person to account for the additional effort and resources needed to secure suitable options for everyone in the group.
Ongoing booking management is not included once the redemption flight is secured. Airlines will directly inform you of any schedule changes or cancellations. However, we assist with seat allocation and wheelchair requests as part of our service. If you need further assistance or have concerns, we are here to help, though additional service fees may apply.
If the airline cancels or changes your booking, we recommend contacting the airline directly. We cannot make changes or manage your bookings issued under your account. The airline’s customer service team will provide the necessary support for cancellations or schedule adjustments.
Should you need further assistance or have concerns, we are here to guide and support you through the process. Please note that additional service fees may apply.
Certainly! If you need to cancel your redemption bookings, the airlines will refund the points and taxes, minus any applicable cancellation fees, directly to your account. Please note that our redemption service fee is non-refundable.
The airline’s fare rules determine all fees for booking changes. If we assist in finding available award flights on different dates, a new redemption service fee will apply.
Please note: Adjustments in points and taxes between your original ticket and the new one will be handled and charged or refunded by the airline.
A Points Health Check consultation lasts between 15 to 30, during which one of our advisors will provide personalised recommendations to help you earn more points based on your spending habits, point-earning potential, and travel preferences.
You’ll also receive guidance on effectively utilising your points to maximise their value. Additionally, all Points Advisor DFY members receive a complimentary Points Health Check as a benefit.
Award flight cancellation and amendment fees vary from airline to airline. PointsAdvisor redemption or search service fee is not refundable.
