All the information you need about Privilege Club Gold status and its benefits

Each flight with Qatar Airways will earn you Qpoints depending on the class of service you are traveling, the regions to and from which you are traveling and the fare you are paying. The more Qpoints you earn, the higher your Privilege Club membership level. Qpoints are valid for one calendar year (January to December) and count towards your Privilege Club membership level. The number of Qpoints you must earn in each calendar year to achieve or maintain Gold status is as follows: 270 Qmiles (12 months before renewal), 540 Qmiles (24 months before renewal)

Benefits and privileges granted to members

– Preferential access to premium seats

If you are a Gold member and there are no award seats available on the flight of your choice but there are still seats available for sale in the class you wish to travel in, you will be able to book a seat bonus by swapping double the Qmiles. You can also extend this benefit to a companion who is traveling with you and who is on the same booking. Simply contact the Privilege Club Member Service Center at least 48 hours before your flight departs. However, if you don’t travel and cancel before the departure date, your Qmiles will be forfeited.

– Claim a reward for anyone

To give yourself more freedom of choice, you can now use your Qmiles to claim a reward for whoever you want – friends, colleagues or family.

– Flexible last minute premiums

To allow you to do last-minute plans without having to give up extra Qmiles, QA has introduced Paid Urgent Bonuses. Gold members can book up to 3 days in advance. If bookings are made within this time, a charge of USD 25 per person applies, unless you book your award ticket online at www.qmiles.com where no charge will be charged. If you request an award for same-day travel, a charge of $ 50 per person applies.

With the new regional award table, all destinations in the Gulf region now cost the same for award trips that start or end outside the region, as long as the travel class remains the same for the entire trip. . So, for example, if you travel from London to Dubai or Bahrain, via Doha, you will exchange the same number of Qmiles as when you travel from London to Doha, even if you take an additional flight.

– A reward level

To give you the best value for your money, whenever you want to travel, QA has introduced tier reward prizes throughout the year. This means that you don’t need to redeem more Qmiles to travel during peak season.
