One of the new ways to earn points and spend Qmiles is with Hotel & Car Rewards.
Privilege Club members will be able to use their Qmiles to book a stay at one of more than 350,000 hotels or rent a car at over 20,000 locations worldwide including hundreds in Australia. Members also earn Qmiles on every cash travel booking they make.
At the launch of Hotel and Car Rewards in May Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker said: “At Qatar Airways, we are continually striving to enhance Privilege Club and offer our members more value and opportunities to earn and spend Qmiles.
“We also want to make the experience of earning and spending Qmiles as seamless as when our loyalty members travel with us across the globe. Hotel & Car Rewards provides our members’ convenient ways to spend for hotel stays and car rentals using Qmiles or to use a combination of Qmiles with Cash.”
Last year, Qatar Airways’ Privilege Club was one of the first airline loyalty programs to announce a tier extension offer of up to 12 months to its members, and, earlier this year, Privilege Club honored further protection of tier status until 31 December 2021.
It also revised its Qmiles policy so that when a member earns or spends them, their balance is valid for further 36 months.
Over the past year, Privilege Club has continued to invest in redefining the program, including cutting the number of Qmiles required to book award flights by up to 49 percent as well as removing booking fees for award flights.
Something that is sometimes overlooked is that Qatar Airways is a oneworld member, which means earning/spending Qmiles is possible with partner airlines such as Qantas, American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and British Airways.
Moving up the membership tiers is easy, Qpoints earned within any 12-month period are evaluated daily to determine your eligibility for a tier upgrade. The higher your membership tier, the more benefits you will enjoy.
If you do not have enough Qmiles for an Award ticket, award upgrade on Qatar Airways, or excess baggage, you can buy additional Qmiles to top up your existing balance online.
You can purchase Qmiles in blocks of 1,000 with the following conditions;
