Benefits & Privileges

Frequent Flyer Privileges

We believe you should enjoy more rewards the more you fly. So we offer three levels of membership above the Bronze entry level - Silver, Gold and Platinum. Each membership has particular privileges. The higher your membership level the greater your privileges and the more points you can earn. Find out the privileges of each membership level:

Note: The program Awards and Benefits may change from time to time.

Reaching and Keeping a Higher Status

The number of Status credits you have is reviewed daily, based on your activity since the anniversary of when you joined the program. As soon as you have earned the required Status Credits to qualify for the next membership level, and provided you have travelled a minimum of four eligible Qantas, QantasLink or Jetstar flights during your membership year, you will automatically move up and can start enjoying your extra privileges.

You will retain any new status for at least 12 months. At the end of your membership year, your Status credits will be reset to zero. Provided you continue to earn the required number of Status credits each year and complete the minimum of four eligible flights, and take at least four eligible Qantas, QantasLink or Jetstar flights in that membership year, your membership status and privileges will remain at your acquired level.

Lifetime Recognition

We will keep a tally of all the Status credits accumulated during the life of your membership.* As soon as you have enough Status credits, Silver or Gold recognition will be yours for life, regardless of how often you then fly.^

Status credits required for lifetime recognition
Silver 7,000
Gold 14,000
* Status credits will be added to any Tier credits accumulated from their introduction in September 1998 until they were replaced by Status credits in September 2001.
^ The program Awards and Benefits may change from time to time.
+ Qantas marketed flights are flights with a QF flight number on the ticket. Status credits are not earned on Qantas marketed flights operated by Jetstar or Jetstar Asia.
