Qantas and Jetstar loyalty program updates

Overview

Qantas has introduced updates to its frequent flyer program, allowing members to earn status credits through everyday activities such as grocery shopping, credit card spending, and Uber rides. The new system includes a cap of 140 credits per year and a rollover mechanism where members can carry over up to 50 per cent of excess credits to the following year.

Following these program changes, Jetstar launched ‘Classic Upgrades’, enabling Qantas Frequent Flyer members to use points for Business Class upgrades on eligible international Boeing 787 Dreamliner flights. This initiative is supported by a fleet overhaul that increases Jetstar’s Business Class capacity from 21 to 44 seats per aircraft, expanding options across the Asia-Pacific network.
