Program Change Log

Major promotions, devaluations and rule changes across Australian travel programs, dated and sourced in one place. The record the programs rarely keep for you.

21 Oct 2026OverhaulQantas published the permanent thresholds for Status Credits on the ground, launching 8 December 2026: ten categories, each unlocking 10 or 20 Status Credits once a Qantas Points threshold is met in the membership year (20,000 points for the credit card category, 1,000 for the other nine), 140 in total, credited within eight weeks and counting toward Lifetime status. Points earned in the membership year current on 8 December count at launch; card sign-up bonuses and bank-program transfers are excluded.
