Why Qantas Frequent Flyer points are worth what they are

Qantas Frequent Flyer points are valued at 1.2 to 1.3 cents each in September 2026, with The Points Guy lowering its figure from 1.25 to 1.2 cents this year. Qantas is one of the largest loyalty programs in the world relative to its home market, and its points are easy to earn from American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One and Citi ThankYou, but Classic Reward seats on Qantas long-haul flights are famously scarce.

The best value is on partner Classic Rewards and within Australia, where cash fares are high. Points spent through Qantas Marketplace or Points Plus Pay return well under a cent, and the program's carrier charges on international premium awards are among the highest in the world.

Points expire after 18 months without any earning or redemption activity. Read the Qantas Frequent Flyer program guide or get a quote for Qantas points.
