Qantas has just dropped a side promo alongside the Double Status Credits offer this week β and it's actually a really tidy points play that's flying under the radar.
Until 11:59pm Monday 11 May 2026, you'll earn 6 Qantas Points per $1 spent on Qantas Hotels and Qantas Holidays bookings. That's DOUBLE the standard 3 points per $1 earn rate.
If you've got accommodation to book in the next 6-12 months β a wedding, a winter ski trip, a Bali long weekend, a domestic getaway, or even just somewhere to stay around an existing flight β this is the time to do it.
Here's how to play it π
π¦πΊ Qantas Hotels & Holidays β Double Points Play
βοΈ π§ππ πππ§ππππ¦
β’ Earn 6 Qantas Points per $1 (up from the normal 3 points per $1)
β’ Offer ends: 11:59pm Monday 11 May 2026
β’ Choose from over 500,000 hotels worldwide via Qantas Hotels
β’ Qantas Holidays Fly & Stay packages are also eligible
β’ Luxury Holidays curated packages with premium inclusions also count
β’ β Airbnb is excluded
β’ Travel dates are flexible β book now, travel later (within standard Qantas Hotels rules)
π§ IS IT A π¦π ππ₯π§ π£πππ¬
A few things people miss with Qantas Hotels:
β’ You can earn points on bookings even when paying in cash. So you're effectively getting a 6-point return on every dollar you'd be spending anyway.
β’ Qantas Hotels often price-matches major OTAs. So you're not paying a premium to book through Qantas β you're just adding the points layer on top of what you'd already pay.
β’ Bookings count toward Qantas Status Credit thresholds via the Status Accelerator.
β’ Pair this with a points-earning credit card and you're DOUBLE-DIPPING β credit card points + 6 Qantas Points per $1 from Qantas Hotels.
β οΈ π§πππ‘ππ¦ π§π’ πͺππ§ππ ππ’π₯
β’ Always cross-check the Qantas Hotels price against Booking.com, Hotels.com, and direct hotel sites. Qantas Hotels is usually competitive but not always the absolute cheapest.
β’ Make sure your QFF number is on the booking β no number, no points.
β’ Points typically credit within 8 weeks of stay completion, not at time of booking.
β’ Refundable rates are usually flagged β book a flexible rate if your plans aren't 100% locked.
β’ Fly & Stay packages can sometimes save you cash overall vs booking flights and hotel separately. Worth running the numbers both ways.

You've got until 11:59pm Monday 11 May 2026 to lock in bookings at the doubled earn rate. That's 6 days from today.
