Qantas Frequent Flyer

Members earn Qantas points by flying on eligible Qantas and Oneworld alliance flights, as well as through spending with partner businesses including hotels, car rentals, supermarkets, and credit card programs. Points accrue based on fare class and distance flown for flights, or dollar amounts for partner spending.

Qantas points can be redeemed for flights on Qantas and any of its Oneworld alliance partners, which include airlines such as British Airways, American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, and Qatar Airways. This gives members access to an extensive global network of destinations.

The number of points required varies depending on the route, cabin class, and award seat availability, with shorter domestic economy redemptions typically starting from around 8,000 points one-way. Qantas also offers Points Plus Pay, which lets members combine points with cash when full award seats are unavailable.

Qantas Frequent Flyer membership typically requires a joining fee for Australian residents, though this fee is frequently waived through promotions with partner banks, airlines, or retailers. Once enrolled, membership remains active as long as you earn or redeem points within an 18-month period.
