Promotion Details
Registration & Booking Deadline: 11 May 2026
Travel Period: 12 May 2026 to 31 August 2026
Eligible Routes: Qantas flights within Australia and Trans-Tasman routes
How to Participate
- Register your choice - Use the Qantas App or the registration form on their website
- Choose your reward - Select either double Status Credits OR double Qantas Points (not both)
- Book by the deadline - Make your bookings by 11 May 2026

What’s Eligible?
✅ Eligible flights:

- Trans-Tasman flights (Australia to/from New Zealand)
- All fare types that normally earn points and status credits
Bonus: Double Points on Hotels & Holidays
As an added bonus, when you book with Qantas Hotels & Holidays during the promotional period, you’ll also earn double points on those bookings. This is a great way to maximise your points earning on your entire trip, not just the flights.
Which Reward Should You Choose?
Choose Double Status Credits if:
- You’re working towards Silver, Gold or Platinum status
- You want to secure or maintain your current status tier
- You value the benefits that come with status (lounge access, priority boarding, extra baggage)
- You have multiple domestic trips planned during the travel period
Choose Double Qantas Points if:
- You’re saving points for a specific redemption
- You prefer the flexibility of using points for various rewards
- You’re already comfortable with your current status level
- You want to maximise points for future international upgrades or reward flights
Key Points to Remember
⚠️ Register before booking - You must register your choice before making any eligible bookings to receive the bonus
📱 Use the Qantas App - The easiest way to register is through the Qantas App, though web registration is also available
📧 Check your confirmation - You’ll receive an email confirming your registration and choice
🎯 One choice for all bookings - Your selection (points or status credits) applies to all eligible bookings during the offer period
Why This Offer Stands Out
This promotion is particularly valuable because:
- Extended booking window - Unlike typical week-long booking windows, you have until 11 May 2026 to make bookings
- Focus on domestic/Trans-Tasman - Perfect for business travellers and those exploring Australia and New Zealand
- Winter travel period - Covers Australian winter months, ideal for escaping to warmer destinations or hitting the ski fields
- Double benefits on accommodation - The Qantas Hotels & Holidays bonus adds extra value to your trip
Making the Most of This Offer
Consider booking:
- Multiple business trips if you’re chasing status
- Family holidays within Australia or to New Zealand
- Weekend getaways to maximise the double earnings
- Positioning flights for international travel departing after the promotion period
Act Fast - Deadline Approaching!
With the registration and booking deadline of 11 May 2026 fast approaching, you only have about a week to take advantage of this offer. The travel period through to the end of August 2026 gives you several months to actually fly, but you must register and book by 11 May.
Remember: Registration is essential - don’t book without registering first!
