From now until September 3rd at 11:59 PM (AEST), Qantas Gold & Platinum frequent flyer status will be a little closer within reach thanks to the carrierโs second Double Status Credits / Double Points promo for 2025.
Announced today, frequent flyers can once again expect to enjoy either double status credits or double Qantas Points on all flights โ operated by Qantas and with a QF flight number โ for routes taking off from September 4th, 2025 through August 22nd, 2026.
All you have to do is register your choice of reward via the latest version of the Qantas App before you book your flights, and potentially map out all your travel for the coming year. Though do note codeshare and partner airlines flights donโt count, so steer clear of those Emirates โQFโ ticketed hops to Europe โ it must be Qantas metal.
Thankfully, Qantasโ wet-lease agreement with Finnair is safe and is technically a QF-operated flight (read our review of their radical business class seat); as are hops via Alliance Airlines, National Jet, Airlink, Eastern Australia Airlines, and Sunstate Airlines.
Bonus: In addition to the overarching promo, Qantas is giving a one-off โLoyalty Giftโ of between 40 and 300 Status Credits to every single Frequent Flyer, depending on their tier as of August 28th.
Bronze and Silver will receive 40 Status Credits, Gold members can expect 80 Status Credits, Platinum members are on track for 150 Status Credits, while Platinum One will bank 300 Status Credits. Keep an eye out for when these automatically hit your accounts in September.
In a previous Double Status or Qantas Points offer, weโve been told one frequent flyer seized the opportunity to pre-plan their travel for the foreseeable future: booking a staggering 68 flights to earn an equally staggering 12,300 Status Credits โ enough to jump from Bronze to Platinum One status more than three times over. Not that we expect you to do the same; simply to illustrate how much you can come out on top here.
But as with all nice things, there are certain rules.
Aside from needing to register your choice of either double status credits or double points prior to snapping up those Qantas flights, all passengers in each booking will need to register separately.
The second fresh caveat is that, while double status credits earned from past campaigns counted towards your Lifetime status, this time around, theyโll only count towards your annual status (and not the long-term tally). The same deal applies to the Loyalty Gift. Other than thatโฆ youโre good to go.
A friendly reminder: to achieve Qantas Gold Status (Oneworld Sapphire), youโll need 700 status credits within your membership year, and to achieve Platinum (Oneworld Emerald, which grants access to First Lounges), youโll need 1,400 status credits. Platinum One (the highest possible tier of the Qantas Frequent Flyer Program) demands 3,600 status credits to earn or keep.
To retain Gold, on the other hand, youโll only need 600 status credits; while retaining Platinum demands 1,200 status credits earned in the year. Check out Qantasโ handy status credit calculator here (and obviously double the rate). Happy booking!
