Qatar Airways Privilege Club Extends Members’ Tier Status Until December 2022

22 December 2021

This new initiative will reward valued Silver, Gold and Platinum members with an automatic extension of their tier validity

DOHA, Qatar – Qatar Airways Privilege Club continues to honour the loyalty of its valued members by extending their tier status. This initiative will benefit all Silver, Gold and Platinum members whose tier status is due for renewal between December 2021 and December 2022. The tier validity of these members would be automatically extended to 31 December 2022. Find out more at qatarairways.com/tierextension.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: “At Privilege Club, we remain steadfastly committed to our members. Their loyalty means everything to us, and we will continue to honour their choice to fly with us. As the Official Airline of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, Qatar Airways will continue to innovate in rewarding and recognising our members. We sincerely look forward to enriching our members’ travel experiences, and offering them more time to enjoy the incredible benefits of their tier as they plan for their travel with us in 2022, to over 140 global destinations”.

Privilege Club has continued to invest in redefining the programme, including reducing the number of Avios required to book award flights by up to 49 per cent and extending the validity of Avios to last longer than ever before. Every time a member earns or spends Avios, the balance is valid for an additional 36 months.

Furthermore, Privilege Club launched Hotel & Car Rewards, which allows members to earn and spend Avios at over 350,000 hotels and more than 20,000 car rental locations worldwide. Qatar Airways also launched Student Club, powered by Privilege Club, which offers a range of benefits curated for students to support them throughout their educational journey. Student Club recently celebrated its first anniversary with a unique discount offer designed for members to double their regular savings when they fly with Qatar Airways.

Privilege Club has launched multiple partnerships over the past year to provide members with increased opportunities of earning Avios, including the recent launch of reciprocal loyalty partnership with JetBlue. Privilege Club members can earn Avios when flying with Qatar Airways, oneworld® airline partners, and other airline partners, as well as with a number of financial and lifestyle partners. Avios can be redeemed towards a range of rewards including award flights, cabin upgrades, extra baggage and much more.

Qatar Airways Privilege Club is the Official Frequent Flyer Programme of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, and has recently commenced the one-year countdown to the highly-anticipated tournament with rewarding opportunities for members.

The national carrier of the State of Qatar continues to rebuild its network, which currently stands at over 140 destinations. With more frequencies being added to key hubs, Qatar Airways offers unrivalled connectivity to passengers, making it easy for them to connect to a destination of their choice.
