Qantas has brought back double Status Credits for October 2026, this time exclusively for Qantas Business Rewards members, giving business travellers a fast track to elite status.
The promotion runs for seven days, until 11:59pm AEDT on 20 October 2026, and covers Qantas-marketed and operated flights.
Unlike previous offers, individual members can’t register themselves. Instead, the business will need to activate the offer, and then any Qantas Frequent Flyer travelling under its ABN can earn double Status Credits. You can earn double Status Credits on unlimited bookings made between 14 and 20 October 2026, for travel between 21 October 2026 and 2 October 2027.
As you might expect, double Status Credits offers are some of Qantas' most loved and anticipated promotions. That's because Status Credits are the key to earning elite status with Qantas, which comes with perks like priority boarding and lounge access. Earning double Status Credits unlocks Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Platinum One status at twice the regular speed, while also boosting progress towards Lifetime Qantas Status.
This is the fourth double Status Credits offer launched by the Flying Kangaroo this year, following three DSC promos in 2025.
Qantas Business Rewards Double Status Credits - October 2026
For a limited time, Qantas Business Rewards members can register their business to earn double Status Credits on unlimited bookings. You will need to book between 14 and 20 October 2026, for travel from 21 October 2026 until 2 October 2027.
Under the offer, only the business needs to register. Once it does, any Qantas Frequent Flyer members travelling under that ABN automatically qualify for double Status Credits. That’s provided both the ABN and their personal QFF number are included in the booking.
Double Status Credits applies to Qantas-marketed and operated flights with a QF flight number. This includes flights operated for Qantas by Alliance Airlines, National Jet, Airlink, Eastern Australia Airlines and Sunstate Airlines.
Note that Jetstar and partner airline flights will not earn double Status Credits, even if they carry a QF flight number.
Bonus Status Credits from this offer do not count towards Loyalty Bonus, Platinum Bonus Rewards, Platinum One Bonus Reward or Status Accelerator/Challenge earn requirements. However, they do count towards earning Lifetime Status.
