Default frequent flyer points

Quick question to those in the know. Do you accrue Qantas frequent flyer points on a flight 'paid' for with points? Hope that makes sense!

No you won't, not on any frequent flyer rewards program that I know of (and they all operate pretty much the same).

The reasoning is simple - you've earned some points based on cash you've spent, you can't then earn points on points you've already earned ; that'd be 'double-dipping' as such.

Honestly I couldn't find anything on their site to say one way or the other, but as you are redeeming points, I can't see how you could accure them, but then again I'm not an expert like my OH. Hope that makes sense.

Bummer.

Cheers guys. Didn't think you could, but was hoping someone would tell me otherwise.
