Qantas has overhauled its Frequent Flyer status tiers in what the airline describes as the program's largest change. The restructure affects how members earn and maintain elite status across the program's tier system. Details of the new structure, earning requirements and benefits have been announced.

### What it means for you

Australian business travellers should review their current status tier and the new earning thresholds to understand how the changes affect their membership. Status benefits, lounge access, upgrade eligibility and points earning rates may shift under the new structure. Members should check whether their typical annual spend still qualifies them for their current tier or if they need to adjust travel patterns.
