Qantas Is Extending Status Again For 12 Months

As it turns out, it’s not just the general public who aren’t “match fit”… it’s also Qantas! At least that’s a fair assumption if you look at the negative backlash Qantas has received in recent times. In any case, it appears the people have been heard and Qantas has come out with a formal apology as well as a range of goodies for its frequent flyers.

As part of the apology by Qantas, here’s what you can expect to receive:

Status extension:

12 months status extension across tiered members Silver and above to continue to enjoy the benefits associated with their tier for another year.

Flight discount offer:

$50 off flight promo code for Australian and New Zealand-based Qantas Frequent Flyer members to redeem towards a return Qantas flight.

Classic Reward availability extension:

Extension of previously announced commitment of up to 50 per cent more reward seat availability on Qantas International, trans-Tasman and popular domestic routes until 30 June 2023 being released progressively from 12 noon Monday.

Qantas Lounge invitations:

Additional invitation for members to use themselves, or offer to a Frequent Flyer friend, colleague or family member, to enjoy a pre-flight visit with them to a Qantas Lounge. For Gold members, an invitation to visit a Qantas Domestic Business Lounge, or for Silver members, an invitation to visit the Qantas Club or an international Business Lounge.

Qantas Points:

A gift of Qantas Points for Platinum and Platinum One members.

Summing Up

It’s great to see Qantas has taken ownership of the issues which are plaguing almost every airline/airport around the world right now and is taking active steps to resolve things. I’m sure the status extension will be very much welcomed by many if not all Qantas Frequent Flyers!
