Qantas Loyalty Gift 2025: The Facts
What the Heck Is This?
In addition to the double status/points deal Qantas is giving loyal members free status credits/points!
Qantas is giving Frequent Flyers two types of freebies in September 2025:
- A Points gift for Points Club or Points Club Plus members.
- A Status Credits gift for those with elite flying status (Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Platinum One).
Both should hit accounts by 30 September 2025. No sign-up needed—Qantas handles it for you. Qantas
Who Gets Stuff — And How Much?
- Points Club Plus members get 5,000 Qantas Points.
- Points Club members (base tier) receive 2,500 Qantas Points.
- If you’re both a Points Club member and have elite status, you get both the Points gift and the Status Credits gift. Qantas
Where’s It Show Up?
Look for a transaction labeled “Thank you for your loyalty” in your Activity statement on the Qantas app or website, by 30 September. Qantas
Status Credits Info
- Gifted Status Credits will appear the same way — look for that “Thank you for your loyalty” line in your My Account or app. Qantas
- They’re valid only until the end of your current membership year — no rollover, no extra life. Qantas
Usefulness? Let’s Not Kid Around…
- Points gifts count toward Points Club progression and any related milestones. If you’re trying to climb the tiers there, it’s a mild assist. Qantas
- Status Credits gifts count toward annual tier status maintenance or upgrades (Silver → Gold → Platinum, etc.) — but they don’t count toward Lifetime status, Loyalty Bonus, or Platinum Bonus rewards. Qantas
The Bottom Line — Is It Worth It?
Yes, if you’re active in the program. It’s genuinely free value. But let’s be honest: it’s a small gesture, not a game-changer. If you’re hovering near a tier threshold, those bonus credits could tip you up. Otherwise, it’s more of a “nice” than “wow.”
