"Qantas is targeting Air New Zealand’s upper-tier Airpoints members as it looks to grow its loyalty programme here beyond one million members.As part of an aggressive push into New Zealand, Qantas will fast-track Gold members of other airline loyalty programmes into its scheme.
Those who hold Gold or higher equivalent status with other ‘‘select airlines’' can fast-track to Qantas Gold by earning 100 status credits in 90 days on flights with Qantas, Jetstar and partner airlines.
Gold status is usually obtained by earning 700 status credits in a membership year.
In addition, participating members will get access to the airline’s network of Qantas Club lounges and extra checked baggage during the 90-day fast-track offer."
Qantas Frequent Flyer will remove the $60 join fee on its website later this month.
