Qantas Frequent Flyer status tiers

Qantas status is earned on Status Credits over a 12-month membership year, with a minimum number of Qantas-flown sectors, on Qantas, Jetstar and oneworld carriers. Qantas is a oneworld founder, so Gold is Sapphire and Platinum and above are Emerald. Confirm current thresholds on qantas.com.
