Members of the Qantas elite Platinum One programme should brace themselves for a range of neat new benefits.
Qantas Frequent Flyer has just announced it will give complimentary Platinum membership for members' spouses or ‘de facto domestic partners’, extending access to its Qantas International First Lounges and Domestic Business Lounges.
Members are also now entitled to waivers for any fare differential that might be payable at the airport to move to an earlier Qantas domestic flight when travelling on a flexible fare.
And, as well as earning double points at Qantas Restaurants, members can now also receive complimentary Qantas Golf Club Premium membership, with the Qantas Golf Club, due to be launched during the coming antipodean summer season.
The new additions expand on its offer of 24/7 support from the Platinum One team, early points upgrade processing, additional access to Classic Awards seats, complimentary exit row seating, Qantas epiQure membership and invitations to VIP event experiences, which have all been on offer since Platinum One was launched in November 2011.
“These are our most frequent flyers, spending as much time in the air as they do on the ground,” said Lesley Grant. CEO of Qantas Loyalty.
“Feedback around the Platinum One tier has been that while the members themselves value the benefits and are always keen for more, they also value the opportunity to share the experiences with a partner,” she explained.
Other new benefits for Platinum One members include:
