Qantas double status credits

Our favourite status runs on points

It’s back! Qantas’ highly popular double status credit promotion has dropped for the second time this year!

Book from now until 3 September 2025, and fly between 4 September 2025 to 22 August 2026 to earn double the normal status credits after activating the offer via the Qantas website/app.

What are status runs?

Status runs are when you take flights for the sole purpose of earning status credits. They work best when you need to fly somewhere anyway of course, but the ultimate goal is to get the most amount of status credits while spending the least!

Are you eligible?

If you have Points Club or Points Club Plus, you’re eligible to earn status credits on Classic Reward flights. This also means you can earn double status credits during the current promotion.

Don’t worry if you’re not a Points Club or Points Club Plus member! The experts at Australian Frequent Flyer have got all the best status runs for cash.

Note: Double status credits earned during this promotion will not go towards lifetime status.

Status Runs

• Basic - Melbourne to Gladstone (108 status credits)

• Intermediate - Brisbane to Queenstown (172 status credits)

• Advanced - Newcastle to Queenstown (300 status credits)
