About OzFlyer
OzFlyer (ozflyer.com) is an independent guide to airline mileage programs and airline-points credit cards, written from Australia for a global audience. We cover Qantas Frequent Flyer, Velocity, KrisFlyer, Asia Miles, AAdvantage, MileagePlus, Skywards, Flying Blue, and the dozen other programs that matter when you’re trying to redeem premium-cabin awards out of Australia.
We translate “what banks and airlines publish on their official pages” into “what cardholders and frequent flyers actually earn.” Every reward rate, transfer ratio, annual fee, and redemption table cited on this site is sourced from the official airline or bank fee schedule and dated.
Editorial stance
- Independence: We don’t accept paid placements, paid removals, or paid score adjustments from airlines, banks, hotel groups, or card networks.
- Timeliness: Reward rates, status thresholds, and redemption tables change. Every article on the site carries a “Last fact-checked” date at the bottom.
- Verifiable: All reward rates, transfer ratios, annual fees, and redemption tables link to the official airline or bank page they came from.
What we cover
- Airline mileage program deep-dives (Qantas FF, Velocity, KrisFlyer, Asia Miles, AAdvantage, MileagePlus, etc.)
- Australian airline-points credit cards (Amex, Qantas Premier, NAB Qantas, Westpac Altitude, Velocity High Flyer, ANZ Frequent Flyer, etc.)
- Sweet-spot redemption playbooks (Cathay J on Asia Miles, ANA F via KrisFlyer, Emirates F via Qantas, Round-the-World awards)
- Industry news and policy changes (devaluations, new routes, alliance shifts, regulatory updates)
- Status match and challenge strategies
What we don’t do
- No “Top N best card” promotional rankings
- No churning, manufactured spend, or T&C grey-zone tactics
- No multi-account or family-pooling exploits to game sign-up bonuses
- No paid hotel / airline / bank placements
- No investment, cryptocurrency, or insurance product recommendations
- No predictions of future devaluation timing (historical patterns only)
