Qantas Store Winter Warmers bonus points offers, ranked
Earn up to 8 Qantas Points per $1 spent.
Qantas Frequent Flyer is currently featuring bonus offers for almost 100 brands offering Qantas Points for purchases through the Qantas Store. The "Winter Warmers" deals cover fashion, homewares and technology.
I'm expecting we'll keep seeing these kinds of offers from airlines throughout 2020. With flying heavily curtailed by the coronavirus pandemic, bonus points when shopping are one of the more reliable options for boosting your points total.
You can see the full list of current offers, which run until 31 July 2020, in this table. The best offer is 8 Qantas Points per $1 spent. The least generous offer is 2 Qantas Points per $1 spent. I've also noted the regular points per $1 each brand offers and what percentage increase that represents. The percentage is interesting, but don't use it as a deciding factor: the number of points you're getting for your spend is what counts.

So are these deals worth taking up? I'd start with the standard logic: if you were planning to buy something anyway, getting extra bonus points is always welcome. But purchases made purely to earn points make a lot less sense.
You should also compare prices outside the points ecosystem before buying. Earning extra points on a laptop purchase is handy, but saving $500 on the same model by shopping elsewhere is likely to be better value overall. 1,000 Qantas Points is worth (as a rule of thumb) at least $20. If you're spending $50 more for 1,000 Qantas Points, it's rather less likely to be a worthwhile transaction.
