Earn double status credits on Qantas Frequent Flyer

Published by

For the minority of you who are Qantas Frequent Flyer members, Qantas is running its double status credits promotion again, this time from 9 to 14 August 2018. The mechanics are fairly simple: 1. Register for the promotion here. Needless to say, you need to be a Qantas Frequent Flyer member first. 2. Book your flight between 9 to 14 August 2018. Your flight(s) must be between 21 August 2018 and 9 August 2019. Note that the deadline for booking is 11.59pm AEST (Sydney time), so that means 10pm Singapore time. 3. Travel and wait for your bonus status credits to come in! Now the fine print… You can book as many flights as you want during this promotion and all of them will qualify for bonus status credits. You can fly other airlines and qualify for the bonus status credits as long as they have a QF code. So this means you can fly Singapore to London on Emirates (via Dubai) as long as you book it on Qantas.com. And that will earn you …
