Qantas are currently offering a double status credits promotion for frequent flyers. This is the first offer for 2017 so I would recommend signing up for it, even if you don’t plan on flying.
All flights have to be either on Qantas or Emirates metal with a Qantas flight number.
Qantas have added a nice little addition to the list of flights that qualify, Emirates flights between Australia and New Zealand. Previously, these flights were excluded from the list as those flights, especially in First can be around $900 return!
Silver – 300 status credits to qualify, 250 to re-qualify.
If you fly or plan to fly Qantas regularly and like the program I would definitely take the offer, however I find much better value programs like Alaska or AAdvanatge and probably won’t focus on the program as much anymore.
Haven’t credited a flight to QF in years even if I’m Sydney based. Why would anyone? It’s a rip off.
Victor It depends on how close you are to lifetime gold then it can be very worthwhile, and that is why the annual double bonus is so worthwhile. Note most US airlines don’t like giving their own Gold level FFs domestic lounge access.
