HUGE CHANGES: Double Qantas Status Credits August 2025
Maximise your Qantas status in 2025 with double status credits for faster upgrades and rewards.
UPDATE:
Following criticism, Qantas has changed a key detail of its August 2025 Double Status Credits or Double Points promotion. The change is good news, with double Status Credits now being counted towards Lifetime Silver, Lifetime Gold and Lifetime Platinum tiers.
This is usually the case for previous Double Status Credits offers, but for some reason, the Red Roo decided to quietly cut the perk this time around. Naturally, this upset a number of frequent flyers, and to their credit, Qantas responded positively.
Qantas confirmed the change by updating its offer T&C’s, and adding “we’re pleased to let you know that bonus Status Credits earned as part of this offer will now count towards your Lifetime Status,” to the promo page.
A spokesperson for Qantas also told Flight Hacks that the airline has listened to members and updated the promotion accordingly. The airline also reaffirms that the separate Status Credit gift of up to 300 free Status Credits will not count towards lifetime status.
Here’s what you need to know about Qantas' latest Double Status Credits and Status Credit gift promotions.
————
August just got even better for Qantas Frequent Flyers, who have twice the reason to celebrate as the airline’s latest double Status Credits or double Qantas Points promotion is now live. Plus, as an added gift, Qantas will send out 40 to 300 bonus Status Credits to nearly all frequent flyers from September!
This highly anticipated offer allows Qantas loyalists to accelerate their way through the Qantas Frequent Flyer status tiers faster than ever before.
Members can register and select to earn either double Status Credits or double Qantas Points for unlimited bookings made by 3 September 2025, for travel between 4 September 2025 and 22 August 2026. Plus, members can also earn double points on Qantas Hotel and Holiday bookings made during the same period.
Qantas Business Rewards members can also register separately for Double Points for their business and use Qantas Points to save on future business travel.
Qantas Double Status Credits Or Double Points - August 2025
This offer is available to Qantas Frequent Flyers who register and make their selection via the Qantas App or website by 3 September 2025. To qualify, members must book Qantas-marketed and operated flights by the same deadline for travel between 4 September 2025 and 22 August 2026.
With plenty of destinations available across Australia and the world, there’s no limit to the number of flights you can book under this offer. Just be sure your flights are not codeshare or partner-operated, as those are excluded from the deal.
How Do I Register?
Here’s a step-by-step guide to activating your Double Status Credits or Double Qantas Points:
- Make your choice via the Qantas App or website by 11:59pm AEDT 3 September 2025. Be sure you’re using the latest version of the Qantas App!
- Ensure your QFF email is valid to receive confirmation of your selection.
- Book eligible Qantas-marketed and operated flights by 11:59pm AEDT 3 September 2025 for travel between 19 March 2025 and 24 February 2026.
- Include your QFF number when booking eligible flights.
Which Offer Should I Select?
Choosing between double Status Credits and double Qantas Points depends on your travel goals and priorities. If you’re pretty close or are aiming to unlock or retain elite status with Qantas, selecting double Status Credits would be a no-brainer. Higher status levels unlock valuable perks such as lounge access, priority boarding, and bonus points on future flights.
On the other hand, if you have already retained your status, the next tier is out of reach, or you’re not interested in being loyal to Qantas, double points could be the way to go. It could be the smart choice for those who don’t travel frequently enough to make elite status worthwhile but still want to maximise their points balance for future redemptions.
Qantas Status Boost Gift - August 2025
As a thank you to members, Qantas is sending out bonus Status Credits gift to nearly every frequent flyer - for doing absolutely nothing! The gift is offered based on your current tier;
- Bronze and Silver: 40
- Gold: 80
- Platinum: 150

The offer also extends to members holding Lifetime Status, Status Hold or members who received complimentary status.

Bronze Qantas Frequent Flyers who have earned or used Qantas Points at least once in the last 18 months are also eligible to receive the gift.
Bronze members can expect to receive their Status Credit gift between 2 and 30 September 2025. If you have Points Club or Silver status and above, your gift will arrive a little faster, between 2 and 8 September 2025.
