Qatar Airways Privilege Club

Privilege Club uses Avios for rewards, Qpoints for tier qualification and Qcredits for selected benefits. Keeping those three balances separate avoids mixing award currency with status progress. This profile separates the balance you can spend from the measures used for elite status.

Start here

  1. Before a flight, check the marketing carrier, operating carrier, fare and booking class.
  2. Keep the redeemable balance separate from the status measure listed below.
  3. Before booking, check award availability, fees and change conditions in the programme’s current search.

Miles or points to spend

Avios are the reward currency.

Elite status qualification

Qpoints are used to upgrade or retain status and include conditions tied to Qatar Airways activity. Qcredits are a different benefit currency.

Expiry

Avios generally expire after 36 months without earning or redemption activity. The terms describe a paid recovery option for a limited period after expiry; check the current conditions.

What this profile does not establish

The checked source set does not establish these details: How flights earn. Use the current official programme terms for that rule; do not infer it from another airline.
