Qantas Points value by redemption
Classic Reward flights
Fixed points prices on Qantas and partner airlines, with limited seats. The best value: 1c–2.6c a point in economy and 2c–7c in premium economy and business. Qantas raised Classic Reward prices in August 2025, so older guides overstate what points buy.
Classic Plus flights
Priced off the cash fare, on almost any Qantas-operated seat, so availability is easy. Expect around 1c–1.25c a point: convenient, but well below Classic Reward.
Upgrades
Upgrading a paid fare with points can return more per point than anything else, but you have to buy the fare first, and an upgrade seat has to be available.
Hotels & car hire
About 0.7c a point through Qantas Hotels and car hire.
Points Plus Pay
Using points to cover part of a cash fare returns about 0.5c a point, one of the weakest uses.
Gift cards & Rewards Store
0.4c–0.5c a point. The easiest way to spend points, and the lowest return.

Points value questions
How much is one Qantas Point worth?
Between 0.4c and 7c, depending on what you redeem it on: 2c–7c in business class, 1c–2.6c on economy flights, 1c–1.25c on Classic Plus flights, 0.7c on hotels and car hire, 0.5c towards a fare with Points Plus Pay, 0.4c–0.5c as gift cards.
Can you convert Qantas Points to cash?
Not directly: Qantas doesn't pay points out as cash. The closest options are gift cards and Rewards Store products, at 0.4c–0.5c a point, or Points Plus Pay towards a fare at about 0.5c. Flights almost always return more.
Do Qantas Points expire?
Your whole balance expires after 18 consecutive months in which you don't earn or redeem any Qantas Points or earn Status Credits. A single earn or redemption resets the clock.
What's the difference between Classic Reward and Classic Plus?
Classic Reward seats have fixed points prices and limited availability, and return 1c–2.6c a point in economy. Classic Plus prices any Qantas-operated seat off its cash fare, so it's easier to book but worth about 1c–1.25c a point.
Is there a Qantas points calculator?
Yes — the calculator at the top of this page. Put in any balance and it shows what Qantas Points are worth on every redemption we track, ranked best first, rather than one blended number. It reads the same rates as the PointFarm app, so the two can't disagree.
How do I work out what my Qantas Points are worth?
Multiply your balance by the cents-per-point of the thing you would actually redeem on. That last part is what most calculators skip: Qantas Points are worth anywhere from 0.4c to 7c each depending on the redemption, so a single average is misleading. The calculator above runs every route at once.
What's the best way to use Qantas Points?
Premium economy & business return the most, 2c–7c a point, if you can find the seat. Gift cards & Rewards Store are the easiest, at 0.4c–0.5c, and the weakest use.
