Status Credits


Status credits determine your Frequent Flyer membership level. Every time you fly on eligible* flights, we will allocate Status credits to your account. Status credits are totally separate from Qantas Frequent Flyer points, they are simply a measure of how often and how far you fly on eligible airlines.

The more status credits you earn, the higher your membership level.

Loyalty Bonus

For every 450 Status credits you earn, we will award you with a loyalty bonus of 5,000 Frequent Flyer points.

Use our points calculator to determine how many Status credits you will earn for your next flight.
