Given the dramatic decline in travel due to the coronavirus, Qantas is extending Qantas Club memberships and complimentary lounge invitation expiry dates by six months.
Paid Qantas Club members with a membership year anniversary date between 23 March 2020 and February 2024 will automatically receive a six-month membership extension. This will be awarded to members who purchased their Individual, Corporate, Partner, or Group membership or an Annual Guest Card, using a credit or debit card, or Qantas Points. The extension won’t be provided to complimentary Qantas Club members.
Affected customers don’t need to register for this offer – it will be applied automatically as follows:
- If your Qantas Club membership is due to expire in March, April or May 2020, it will automatically be renewed by the end of May 2020, with an additional six-months extension from the original month of expiry.
- If your Qantas Club membership is due to expire between June 2020 and February 2024, it will automatically be extended for six-months, by the end of May 2020.
Most complimentary lounge invitations issued prior to 23 March 2020 will also automatically be extended for an extra six months. This will be processed by the end of April 2020.
For members who received a lounge invitation upon attaining or retaining Silver Tier status, you will receive one additional lounge invitation along with your 12-month Tier Status Extension, so the six-month extension will not apply to your original invitation.
For members who recently joined the new Points Club program, your newly acquired lounge invitations have been issued with a 12-month validity, expiring in 2021, so the extension will not apply to these invitations.
You can view the expiry dates of your invitations via the Complimentary Lounge Invitations portal. More information about these changes is available on Qantas’ website here.
