Qantas Frequent Flyer
Qantas Frequent Flyer is Australia's largest loyalty programme, using Classic Reward levels on a published chart plus dynamic Classic Plus and Points Plus Pay options.
Classic Reward availability on long-haul premium cabins is the main constraint, and Qantas surcharges vary considerably by partner.
Earning Qantas Points
Points accrue on Qantas, Jetstar and partner flights, Australian and international co-brand cards, Qantas Shopping, Woolworths and a wide retail network.
Redeeming Qantas Points
Redemptions cover Classic Rewards, Classic Plus, Points Plus Pay, upgrades and the Qantas Rewards Store.
Expiry rules
Qantas applies an inactivity-based expiry window to points. Confirm the current period with Qantas.
Transfers and pooling
Qantas supports family transfers and points purchase under its own rules, with several bank and hotel partners transferring in.
Buying points from Qantas
Qantas sells points directly through its website, including bonus purchase campaigns.
Where the value sits
Classic Rewards on long-haul business class produce the strongest value; Points Plus Pay is usually the weakest.
