Many Point Hacks readers are already Qantas Frequent Flyer members. But in case you (or your interested friends and family) are not, this post covers one of Qantas’ more antiquated policies – a joining fee for frequent flyer membership.

Qantas usually charges a $99.50 joining fee per person for Australian residents. But you can save that money by simply clicking through one of the free links below! Most overseas residents can also get it free, with New Zealand residents charged NZ$60.

Are you a Qantas Frequent Flyer member already? Then these codes are useful for signing up friends and family when needed.

Qantas runs promotions for free memberships with their frequent flyer program partners, including banks and other program partners. So it’s possible to find a range of promotional application codes, as these links follow a common format.
