Double Status Credits - QBR Exclusive (October 2025)

[chrispy3276]

Looks like Qantas is pushing for business travel - there's a Double Status Credit promo from 23-29 October 2025 that's exclusive to Qantas Business Rewards (QBR) members, for travel from 29 October 2025 through to 11 October 2026.

You need to register your business for the offer first: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/business-rewards/exclusive-offers/DoubleStatus.html

Once registered, travellers who include the ABN for the business account on their flight bookings will receive Double Status Credits. Registration is required at a business account level, individual registration is not required.

I'd also make the assumption that they will count towards Lifetime Status, as the T&C's only state that they don't count towards Loyalty Bonus, Platinum/P1 bonuses and status challenges.

My head is going to spin keeping track of overlapping DSC offers and what was booked when….

Interestingly, as far as I can see there aren’t the usual exclusions under the general DSC offers (other than an eligible QF flight). Just needs to be a new booking.

I actually wondering whether Qantas market share has declined where they need 3 DSC offer in a year!?

There's plenty of signs that they're struggling with retention of status members atm: multiple DSCs, handing out completely free SCs as a 'thank you for your loyalty', the ability to earn SCs on the ground promotion.

Nice - thanks for the heads up.

This one is only for QBR, so not as broad as the others.

Suspect they’re trying to entice disenchanted VFFs over to QF and QBR while they’re at it. My VA Business account is all but dead. Just need a couple of DiDi rides to get the residual points balance to a transferable amount…

I suspect we wouldn't be able to use classic rewards for these? I can't recall if there's an ABN entry in the checkout process.

You cannot.

I've got an ABN that I've not used. Tempting to sign up to QBR and tip myself over into platinum with a few upcoming flights.

If it’s a mixed $/CR booking (eg SYD-MEL return), you can add an ABN but not to a PNR with just CR flights AFAIK.

If you have an active ABN, id suggest signing up regardless. Free bonus points every trip.

isn't this the same as booking a normal ticket and entering the ABN later ?

DO need to be registered for GST as well.

QBR is quite worth joining up. Tried to rebook a trip using this offer and it was $2000 more expensive so passed. Im hoping our ‘change in theatre screening’ holds.

DO need to be registered for GST as well.

No. Unless things have changed since QBR was originally rolled out.

With all these SC gifts and a strong start to the status year I am well within reach of P1 for the first time, if I made some forward bookings and take the scenic route. Not sure if I should care enough to actually do it though. Gotta look important for the next Qantas data leak

You can either book via your QBR portal or via qantas.com/app, TA and add ABN later.
