Rex Points expire on a rolling 36-month basis from when they were earned if there is no ongoing activity. You must earn into, or redeem from, your account to be deemed ‘active’. This does not include point transfers.

We will endeavour to provide you with 6-months’ notice of upcoming point expiry so that you can maximise the use of your Rex Points.

1.5.1 Earning Points on Flights

Rex Points can be earned on eligible Rex flights from your program join date.

You must record your membership number in every booking (via rex.com.au, our Customer Contact Centre or your preferred travel agent).

Your name and membership number in each booking must match what is recorded in your membership account.

You earn Rex Points based on the amount you spend on eligible airfares:

Fare Class Booking Class Earn rate (per $1 AUD spent)

Rex Points are earned once a flight is flown, on the

  • total fare paid for a flight (including airport taxes, other charges and GST associated with the flight, and excluding payment method surcharge and booking/handling fee); and
  • original fare paid, and original booking class.

Each flight earns points independent of other segments within a multi flight booking. Amounts earned can be seen in your Account transaction list.

Rex Points are not earned on

  • certain fees and charges (Customer Contact Centre fees, Loyalty Service Fees, change fees, cancellation fees, payment method surcharges, booking handling fees);
  • unused, cancelled, refunded or forfeited tickets;

Not all Extras are available to earn Rex Points. Selected extras, such as, but not limited to, purchases made at airports (e.g. Excess Baggage, Casual Lounge Access) and inflight (e.g. drinks) are not eligible to earn points.

1.5.3 Missing Point Claims

You are responsible for tracking whether your flight activity is recorded in your account.

You may request a missing point claim for up to 6 months after a travel date.

Rex reserves the absolute right to determine if a missing points claim will be accepted and if points will be awarded to a Member’s account.

1.6 Using Rex Points
1.6.1 Flight Rewards

You may use your points for flights rewards for yourself, or an eligible Family Member.

Flight rewards are subject to availability, seats are not guaranteed and may be limited, especially during peak times such as holiday periods.

You must have the required number of points to make a flight reward booking. Points will be deducted from your account at the time a ticket is issued for the flight.

All flight reward point amounts are exclusive of carrier charges, taxes and applicable service fees, which must be paid separately with eligible forms of payment.

Each flight reward type comes with a specific set of fare conditions. Please consider the fare conditions before selecting a reward type.

1.6.1.1 Flight Reward Types

We offer a choice of three flight reward options in each cabin:

Reward Type Description
Anytime Flex Rewards have no limit on seat availability and provide our most flexible fare conditions
Getaway Our next best value reward, with better availability and more flexible fare conditions than our Ultimate Rewards
Ultimate Our best value reward, availability can be limited so you will need to book early and be flexible with your travel plans

1.6.1.2 Flight Reward Amounts

Our flight reward amounts are calculated as a discount off selected published fares which are then converted to points. 

A reward amount = Published Fare minus the Discount Amount multiplied by the Point Conversion Factor. Point amounts are rounded down to the nearest 100 points.

  • Anytime Rewards are calculated using our full (most expensive) Economy fares.
  • Getaway Rewards and Ultimate Rewards are calculated using Saver fares.
Reward Type Published Fare Discount Amount Booking Class Point Conversion Factor
Anytime YFLEX 50% Y 100
Getaway USAVE 35% A
Ultimate USAVE 50% X

This means that flight reward point amounts can change, from time to time, in line with published fare changes. Point amounts are rounded down to the nearest 100 points.

1.7 Membership Tiers and Status

All new members are automatically assigned a member Status of Opal upon joining the program.

There are three additional membership tier levels within the program, Sapphire, Emerald and Diamond, that entitle a member to a set Status Benefits.

You can elevate your membership Status Level to Sapphire, Emerald or Diamond by earning the required number of Status Points or Status Flights during the Status Period before your Review Date.

1.7.1 Upgrading and retaining Member Status

There are two ways that you can upgrade, or retain, your membership Status Level.

1.7.3 Upgrading Status Levels

Your Status Point and Status Flight Balances are reviewed daily to determine if you are entitled to a membership Status Level upgrade.

When your Status Point Balance or Status Flight Balance reaches the required threshold:

  • you will be upgraded to the next Status Level;
  • you will be eligible for Status Benefits for the defined Status Benefit Period; and
  • your Review Date will be the last day of the Status Benefit Period.

If during a Status Benefit Period you accumulate enough Status Points or Status Flights to upgrade to a higher Tier, you will automatically be upgraded to the higher Tier level for a new Status Benefit Period.

When you are upgraded to a higher tier, any remaining benefits from your previous tier expire.

1.7.4 Retaining Status Levels

A Status Review occurs on the Review Date.

You must accumulate the required number of Status Points or Status Flights to retain your Tier by your Review Date.

If you have not accumulated the required number of Status Points or Status Flights when a Status Review occurs, you will be downgraded down one tier level.

When you retain your Status Level, you will receive a new Status Benefit Period. Any remaining benefits from the previous Status Benefit Period expire.

1.7.5 Status Level Benefits

Once you have reached a Tier Level a range of benefits and privileges will become available to you for the Status Benefit Period.

For full details of current benefits available, which we may vary from time to time, please refer to the Membership Status Benefits page on our website.
