Double Qantas Status Credits Or Double Points
Pro Tip:

Don't miss out on 100,000 bonus Qantas Points with the Qantas American Express Ultimate Card. Offer ends March 18th, 2025.

March 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. This highly anticipated offer allows Qantas loyalists to accelerate their way through the Qantas Frequent Flyer status tiers faster than ever before.

For the next seven days, you can register and select to earn either double Status Credits or double Qantas Points for unlimited bookings made between 12 and 18 March 2025, for travel between 19 March 2025 and 24 February 2026. Plus, for the first time, 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 Loyalty CEO Andrew Glance mentioned that Double Status Credit offers are always highly anticipated.

“Hundreds of thousands of members benefited from this offer last year, helping members to attain or retain their frequent flyer status or boost their points balance.”

During the previous offer, one-third of participating members opted for double points, and two-thirds chose double Status Credits. One frequent flyer booked 51 flights, earning enough bonus Status Credits to jump from Bronze to Platinum One status almost four times over.

By choosing double status credits, a member could move from Bronze to Gold by booking two return flights from Melbourne to Los Angeles in Premium Economy, or one return flight from Melbourne to London in Flexible Economy and one return flight from Melbourne to Perth in Flexible Economy.

Qantas Double Status Credits Or Double Points - March 2025

This offer is available to Qantas Frequent Flyers who register and make their selection via the Qantas App or website between 12 March and 11:59pm AEDT 18 March 2025. To qualify, members must book Qantas-marketed and operated flights by the same deadline for travel between 19 March 2025 and 24 February 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:

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.
