How To Earn 110 Qantas Status Credits Without Flying
You can now earn Qantas Status Credits on everyday spending
Qantas Frequent Flyer has unveiled one of its most generous promotions yet, giving members the chance to earn up to 110 bonus Status Credits over the next three months. The limited-time promotion allows Qantas members to earn Status Credits without boarding a single flight, making it arguably the easiest way to unlock and retain elite status.
Bonus Status Credits can be unlocked for earning Qantas Points with various partners across everyday categories like credit cards, insurance, utilities, travel, shopping and entertainment.
The bonus Status Credits will help members fast-track their annual status earning or retention, and will count towards Lifetime Status. However, these bonus Status Credits won’t be counted towards any Loyalty Bonus or Tier Accelerator status match challenge.
Qantas Loyalty CEO Andrew Glance explained that this promotion is the first time members have been able to earn Status Credits on the ground at this scale.
“While flying will always be at the core of the program, this offer is about expanding the ways we recognise our members both in the air and on the ground…Members are already earning two-thirds of their Qantas Points on the ground, and we expect this will be particularly appealing to our frequent buyers.”
Here’s how the offer works.
