Do you know that your frequent flyer points can vanish into thin air if you don't use them? But fear not! With just a little effort, you can have your points back in no time.

So if life gets in the way and you do happen to let your points expire, Qantas has a secret weapon up its sleeve.

The airline offers an informal process for customers to retrieve their expired points by simply participating in the Qantas Wellbeing App challenges - incentivising customers to adopt a healthier lifestyle by rewarding them with points.





That's right, you can now breathe new life into your expired points by simply engaging in healthy activities. Recoup hundreds, if not thousands, of lost points quickly and easily, reap the rewards of your hard work, and take care of your health at the same time!

Here's how it works: as long as a Qantas frequent flyer has lost some points due to inactivity within the past year, then all they need to do is complete two challenges from the Wellbeing App over a six-month period.



With Qantas Wellbeing App challenges, you can now earn back your expired frequent flyer points while engaging in sports activities that you love. Whether it's running, golfing, cycling, swimming, or simply catching some Z's, they have you covered.

Thirty minutes of running can earn you up to 12 points, while a round of golf can get you 19 points. If you prefer two-wheeled adventures, two hours of cycling can earn you up to 21 points, and if you're a water lover, forty-five minutes of swimming can get you 20 points.



But that's not all, Qantas also cares about your sleep health. Put your phone down at least thirty minutes before bedtime and avoid using it throughout the night to get rewarded for a good night's sleep.

It's a win-win situation, where you get fit and earn points at the same time.

Even if you don't make it through the challenge, don't worry. According to sources, customers can still recover some of their expired points simply by participating in the challenges.



I have frequent flyer points; how long do I have before they become 'expired'?

The lifespan of an untouched frequent flyer account varies from program to program, but Qantas and Everyday Rewards have a strict rule of earning points every 18 months to keep the credit balances valid.

Due to the pandemic, some of these requirements were temporarily put on hold. But now that air travel is back in action, your untouched points are once again vulnerable to expiration due to inactivity.



For Velocity frequent flyers, the stakes are high! Unlike Qantas members, Velocity frequent flyers have no chance to redeem expired points. Starting June 2023, after the pandemic expiry freeze, they will need to earn points every 24 months to keep their credit balance valid.

Meanwhile, members of the affiliated Coles Group program Flybys face an even tougher challenge. They have only 12 months to accrue points to stop their balance from expiring. But the good news is, those points can be converted to the Velocity program and used for travel.
You read it here, members! Don't let your points go to waste - act now and start earning points with the Qantas Wellbeing App or by making purchases at affiliated shopping centres.

Keep your frequent flyer balance active and ensure that you have enough points for your next big adventure.



Whether you're an avid runner, golfer, cyclist, swimmer, or just someone who wants to catch some good Z's, there's something for everyone on the Qantas Wellbeing App. Who knows, you might even end up with more points than you started with!
