Absolutely. If you can sign-up for free and earn points through flying or one of Qantas' many partners, then it's worth becoming a member. Points can be used for Business Class flights and more. Learn more about the program in our starter guide.

For travelers in 2026, Qantas Frequent Flyer is exceptionally worth it due to "High-Fidelity" program changes that allow members to earn Status Credits on the ground through everyday spending for the first time. This means you can reach or retain Silver, Gold, or Platinum status through credit card use, shopping, and utility bills, even if you don't fly frequently. Additionally, the new Status Credit roll-over benefit allows tiered members to carry over up to 50% of their unused credits into the next year, making it much easier to maintain elite perks like lounge access and priority boarding. For international travelers, the program offers a high-fidelity digital search tool launching in March 2026 that makes finding "Classic Flight Reward" seats across 30 partner airlines significantly faster. While there is a one-time join fee for Australian residents (often waived through partner offers), the ability to bridge the gap between "ground" and "air" earning makes it a premier high-fidelity loyalty choice.
