Activating Qantas Complimentary Lounge Passes

Hi guys,

I have a Qantas Amex card and want to activate the 2 complimentary Qantas club lounge invitations.

What's the cheapest option without purchasing a Qantas flight?

Are there any updated tricks like the Carbon offsetting one from couple years ago

Thanks

    Book a classic reward ticket, pay the taxes and then cancel it for free.

      This. But I reduced the cash component to $1 which still activated the passes. (The points are refunded quicker than the cash component)

    With our ANZ card that includes 2 passes per year, we just call up and request them. They then show up in our passes on the Qantas site the next day. No need to book flights.

    • Might be different with Amex, because you have to purchase a Qantas product to receive the passes

      "you are eligible to receive two Qantas Club Lounge
      Invitations each anniversary year of your card membership, after your
      first spend on selected Qantas products and services"

    buy something from the qantas store

    I don't understand. You need to fly a Jetstar or Qantas flight to use them (Or a Jetstar/Qantas codeshare flight). You cannot use them otherwise. What need do you have to bypass how to obtain them?

    OP, it tells you quite clearly in the terms and conditions as to what the options are for a "Qantas" spend to activate the passes.
