Jacking points will depend on the type of jack you are using and what type of work you are looking to perform.

Jacking from a unibody jacking points (like the ones that are used by an OEM jack) can damage the paint/undercoating and eventually lead to rust.

I jack my cars up/down fairly often, so I tend to use suspension attachment points and/or sub-frame members whenever possible. In the front, there is a small “bump-out” feature (right under the center of the radiator) to receive a “cup” from a typical floor jack. I then put jack stands under front control arm rear attachment point.

In rear (of my AWD van), I like to use the floor jack on the rear end "pumpkin" (differential) and I then put the jack stands under the rear subframe. If you have a FWD, you should still be able to put the floor jack under the center of rear suspension “axle”.

I agree with 'grndsm' and you should buy yourself a cheape 2t floor jack plus jackstands if you intend to do any work on your car. I think I paid $50 for jack plus two stands. Leave your OEM jack with the car for doing roadside tyre changes should you need it. Make sure you know how to use it and teach all the other drivesr in your family that as well.
