Status from flying

The Qantas Frequent Flyer program offers rewards and recognition well beyond Qantas Points for our Frequent Flyers. 

By earning Status Credits on eligible Qantas, Jetstar, oneworld® member and partner airline flights, you can unlock exclusive travel benefits and services as you progress through our status tiers.

What are Status Credits?

Status Credits are designed to reward your loyalty for flying with Qantas and our partners. The more eligible flights you take, the more Status Credits you earn and the faster you can achieve and retain Qantas Frequent Flyer status spanning Silver, Gold, Platinum and Platinum One. Status Credits differ from Qantas Points; while you may earn both simultaneously on your flight, Status Credits reset at the start of each new Membership Year.

How to move up through the tiers

Earn the required number of Status Credits outlined in the table below by taking eligible flights with Qantas, Jetstar, oneworld® member or partner airlines

Of these eligible flights, you must take at least four with a Qantas (QF) or Jetstar (JQ, 3K and GK) flight number on the ticket that earns you Status Credits

You'll advance to the next tier when you meet these requirements within your Membership Year

Qantas Frequent Flyer membership tiers

The higher the tier, the more benefits you receive, such as Status Bonuses, priority check-in, lounge access and much more. With five membership tiers, we have lots of ways to reward every one of our members. See your journey through the program
