Qantas Multiple Credits Policy
This policy applies to customers who wish to hold the value of their ticket in credit and use that credit toward multiple journeys. It is effective for tickets reissued after 9 October 2024 in points of sale Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the United States and the United Kingdom.
If your customer is no longer travelling due to a Qantas schedule change, they are entitled to a full refund. Please refer to the Qantas Schedule Change Policy.
Qantas NDC Call Out
This process is currently not available for Qantas NDC bookings. If your customer wishes to use a credit toward multiple journeys, please contact Qantas Agency Connect for options.
This policy applies to Australian domestic and international flights and all QF fares or a combination of QF/EK fares issued on Qantas (QF-081).
Additional Information
Book and Ticket
- Flights no longer required must be cancelled prior to scheduled departure.
- New bookings are subject to availability and all conditions of the new fare are applicable except for the cancellation conditions. Cancellation conditions of the original fare purchased would apply to this credit except if the new fare conditions are more restrictive – the most restrictive cancellation policy would apply.
- Any Qantas (QF) fare including those that permit interline and codeshare flights can be booked.
- For Australian domestic itineraries, the same city pair flown in the same direction is permitted.
- Name changes are not permitted.
- The affected ticket must be reissued to a pseudo flight prior to its expiry and all travel using this credit must be completed within the validity of the ticket. Refer to Qantas Ticket Validity
- If Emirates (EK) or oneworld airline flights are required, QAC is to reissue the ticket.
- Reissue to the pseudo flight credit with the authority code 691297 in the ticket endorsement
- When reissuing to the pseudo flight, raise an EMD to refund all taxes and apply for a refund of the EMD through BSPlink.
- Collect the applicable change fee when reissuing a ticket to create a pseudo flight coupon for the first time
- No change fee applies for subsequent reissues of a pseudo flight.
- New taxes are to be collected for every new itinerary booked and ticketed using the ticket credit.
- Any unredeemed value not used before the ticket expiry date is non-refundable (except in certain circumstances including under the Australian Consumer Law).
- Book the pseudo flight in Y class from GDS availability to hold the funds in credit.

- We recommend you create a new PNR when reissuing to add further flights using the credit.
- When reissuing, book the new flights and, if any credit remains, book a new pseudo flight showing the residual credit. This should be the last coupon on the ticket.
- Your customer must complete travel on flights made with the credit before booking any subsequent travel.
- Change fees apply if making voluntary changes to existing flights.
- Include the authority code 691297 each time you reissue the ticket.
Additional Information
- If commissionable fares are reissued to non-commissionable fares, commission will be recalled through our normal policy of raising an ADM.
- If:
- the customer’s original fare rules permitted a refund; or
- the customer’s original booking was cancelled by Qantas, and the customer prefers a refund instead, they must request it before they start using their credit and before the credit expiry date.
- All tickets will be subject to audit and recovery of costs incurred by Qantas via an ADM when this process has not been correctly applied
