Your frequent flyer membership number is the key to earning rewards for flights, partner bookings, reward credit cards and any other deals or promotions. It’s also required for all the other benefits that come from being a member.
But with so many different accounts and numbers to keep track of, it’s easy to lose your frequent flyer information.
To make retrieving it easy, we've outlined how to find your number so you can start reaping the benefits of your membership once again.

Tips for finding and remembering your frequent flyer number
Provide as much information as possible. When chatting with the customer service team, include details of your account and old addresses and phone numbers. This might help them find your number.
Keep track of your membership card. Most frequent flyer programs issue you with a card that includes your membership number.
Check old flight bookings. If you’ve previously flown with an airline as a frequent flyer guest, your membership number might be on old flight bookings or itineraries.
Search your emails. Some frequent flyer programs send out newsletters and statements that include your membership number. Search your inbox (or junk mail) for the name of the frequent flyer program to see if you can find it.
Ask a travel agent you’ve previously used. If you’ve made travel arrangements through an agent, it may have your frequent flyer membership details on file. The same is true of online booking services; just log in to your account and see if the information is there.
Check your credit card account. If you have a frequent flyer credit card that earns points for a particular program, your account should have a record of your frequent flyer membership number.
Store your number on your phone. Most programs generally have apps that will save passwords as well as your card details.

Hi Alan,
Contact the frequent flyer program and let them know you’ve forgotten your details. For Qantas Frequent Flyer, call 13 11 31. For Velocity Frequent Flyer, call 13 18 75. For other programs, the details will be in this guide or on their websites. Your wife may need to do the same, or be there when you contact them, as frequent flyer programs typically won’t provide membership details to anyone but the member. I hope this helps.
Hi Naorem,
It happens – that’s why Finder has this guide. The good news is that the frequent flyer program you’re a member of should be able to help you. Just contact them directly and they’ll explain the process. I hope that helps.
Thanks for your comment and I hope you are doing well.
While we review frequent flyer programs in our pages, it’s helpful to know that we neither work with them or answer for their company. It would be best to contact the customer service support of American Airlines directly for further assistance.
Hope this clarifies and we hope they find a quick resolution for you!
Please note that every frequent flyer program has a different approach to retrieving membership numbers. Please refer to the steps above about retrieving your frequent flyer number according to your frequent flyer program.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
