Qantas27 November 2025 – On 20 November 2025, Jetstar announced a major upgrade to the rewards available when flying on its low-fare network. The new program, Qantas Frequent Flyer Extra, gives Qantas Frequent Flyers the ability to earn points across all eligible Jetstar fares for the first time — including Starter Fares — along with up to 75 bonus Status Credits annually.
Members can pick up as many as 1,300 extra Qantas Points and 10 Status Credits per eligible international flight, or 725 points and 5 Status Credits on eligible domestic routes across Australia, New Zealand and Japan. These boosts help travellers climb or maintain their Frequent Flyer status while continuing to take advantage of Jetstar’s budget-friendly fares.
Jetstar’s CEO says the initiative is expected to deliver “millions more” Qantas Points to members each year, combining Jetstar’s low-cost model with the earning power normally associated with full-service airlines.
The add-on costs $199 per year and requires an active Club Jetstar membership (priced at $65 annually, or $55 on renewal). According to Jetstar, Club Jetstar members collectively saved more than $44 million last year through fare discounts, early access to sales, and reduced pricing on extras like seat selection and baggage.
Looking ahead, members will also be able to use Qantas Points for upgrades to Business on Jetstar’s long-haul international flights, coinciding with the expansion of Business seating on its refurbished Boeing 787 fleet. Meanwhile, recent reductions to the points needed for short-haul Classic Reward seats have already led to an uptick in reward bookings on popular domestic routes.

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.
