Thursday, 20 November 2025: Jetstar has launched a new loyalty product exclusive to Club Jetstar members, enabling Qantas Frequent Flyers to unlock significantly more Qantas Points and up to 75 bonus Status Credits annually when flying with the low-fares carrier.
By signing up to Qantas Frequent Flyer Extra, members will earn points across all eligible Jetstar fares, including Starter Fares for the very first time. This allows travellers to make the most of Jetstar's growing network and low prices while still earning valuable rewards.
Members can earn up to an additional 1300 Qantas Points and ten Status Credits per international flight and 725 Qantas Points and five Status Credits per domestic flight within Australia, New Zealand and Japan.*
Status Credits help members reach or retain their Frequent Flyer status for traveller perks, while Qantas Points can be used to book reward seats on Qantas, Jetstar or partner airlines, request flight upgrades, to book flights on Jetstar.com using Points Plus Pay or shop via the Qantas Marketplace.
Jetstar CEO, Stephanie Tully, said the new product is expected to see members earn millions more Qantas Points each year.
"We're making flying with Jetstar even more rewarding by supercharging the earning power of Qantas Frequent Flyers when they travel with us - so they can take off more for less.
"Qantas Frequent Flyer Extra is the perfect way to get the best of both worlds - Jetstar's famous low fares and extensive leisure network while accruing highly valued Qantas Points and Status Credits across all flights."

Qantas Frequent Flyer Extra pricing
Qantas Frequent Flyer Extra is available for an annual fee of $199. To take advantage of this offer, Qantas Frequent Flyers also need to be a member of Club Jetstar which has a yearly $65 membership fee, or $55 for renewal. (Total yearly cost $254-$264).
Last financial year, Club Jetstar saved customers $44 million in travel with discounted fares, early access to Jetstar sales and 20 per cent off checked bags and seat selection.
More rewards on Jetstar
From next year, Frequent Flyers will also be able to use their Qantas Points to upgrade to Business on Jetstar international flights. This coincides with a major revamp of Jetstar's Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet, which will more than double Jetstar Business capacity on some international routes from 21 to 44 seats.
Earlier this year, the number of points required to book a short-haul Classic Reward seat on Jetstar was reduced to 5,700 points, helping members book their next getaway faster. This has seen a 17 per cent increase in reward seat bookings on popular domestic routes like Sydney to Melbourne, Sydney to Gold Coast, and Melbourne to Adelaide.
*Members can earn up to a maximum of 75 Status Credits per Qantas Frequent Flyer Membership Year.
