Are Qantas Status Hacks Dead?
Episode 15
Sunday, 15 March, 2026

Qantas has announced the biggest overhaul of its Frequent Flyer program in years, and it’s going to change how Australians earn status, redeem points and engage with the airline. In this episode Brandon and Tobias break down everything we know about the upcoming changes rolling out between 2026 and 2027. We cover the new Classic Reward search tool, the introduction of status credits on the ground, the end of Points Club and Green Tier, and the controversial changes to status earning and loyalty bonuses. Some frequent flyers may benefit from the changes but others could find it much harder to maintain status in the future. We also answer a listener question about how to use Qantas lounge passes properly, including where you’ll get the most value and the simple mistakes that could get you turned away at the door. If you collect Qantas Points or chase frequent flyer status, this episode will help you understand what’s changing and how to prepare. 💌 Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest reward seat alerts and holiday inspiration - https://phk.ing/3P3aaCk 📰 See the latest Qantas Point earning cards - https://phk.ing/4lu7REz 📖 Read more about the upcoming Qantas Changes - https://phk.ing/4bsugxr ✈️ Follow PointHacks 👇 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@pointhacks LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/pointhacks Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/pointhacksau/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/pointhacks 🎬 Credits: Guest: Brandon Loo, Senior Content Producer Produced and hosted by: Tobias Venus Video and audio produced by: TOBY TV PTY LTD | tobytv.com.au #pointhacks #frequentflyer #qantas
