Qantas Frequent Flyers can fast-track their status or boost their points balance with the return of the airline’s Double Status Credits or Qantas Points offer today.

The offer coincides with the airline launching its latest international sale, with more than 25,000 discounted seats to six destinations across South America, South Africa and the Pacific.

For the next seven days, members who book any Qantas marketed and operated flight within Australia or across the Tasman can choose to earn either double Status Credits or double Qantas Points. Double points are also available on Qantas hotel and holiday bookings made during the same period.

The promotion is designed to help frequent flyers secure their next reward or climb the airline’s status tiers – Silver, Gold, Platinum and Platinum One – unlocking perks such as lounge access, priority boarding and additional baggage allowances.

Members can register via the Qantas app and make unlimited bookings between 5 May and 11 May 2026, for travel between 12 May and 31 August 2026.

Alongside the loyalty push, Qantas has discounted more than 25,000 seats across six destinations on its international network, offering travellers more options for Southern Hemisphere getaways over the next year.

The seven-day sale includes return fares to Johannesburg, Santiago, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Samoa and Norfolk Island across all cabins. All international fares include checked baggage, meals, beverages and inflight entertainment.

The campaign forms part of the broader Qantas Group promotional calendar, which rolls out sales and incentives across its global network throughout the year.

“Our double reward offers are always popular and we know members are looking for more ways to make their travel count,” Qantas Loyalty and Customer CEO Andrew Glance said.

“The offer gives members the flexibility to choose the reward that suits them, whether that’s fast-tracking their status or boosting their points balance to book their next holiday sooner.

“We’ve also seen incredibly strong uptake following our recent domestic and international sales, highlighting Australians’ ongoing appetite for travel. We’re putting another 25,000 discounted seats on the table, perfect for customers planning a bucket-list safari or their next island escape.”
