Get up to 4,000 bonus Avios for joining Qatar Airways Privilege Club

Qatar Airways adopted Avios as its loyalty currency last year. You can link your British Airways Executive Club account to a Qatar Airways Privilege Club account and move your Avios between the two airlines.

This means that, whilst you might usually credit a Qatar Airways flight directly to your British Airways Executive Club account, you now have an alternative. You can open a free Qatar Airways Privilege Club account, credit your flight there and then move the Avios across to your BA account.

(Here’s one benefit of crediting Avios to Qatar Airways Privilege Club. You get your Avios at check-in – not a few days after you fly – which means that you can use them in Qatar Duty Free during your stopover to buy from virtually all of the shops there.)

There’s an extra carrot for doing this.

In addition to the flight sale, if you enrol as a new Privilege Club member before the end of 2024, you will get a bonus of 2,000 Avios (Economy) or 4,000 Avios (Business or First) after your first flight as a member.

To get the Avios bonus, use this link to sign up to Privilege Club and use the enrolment code PCEUR24.

Use ‘Cash and Avios’ to reduce your sale fare even more

You can use Avios to make your sale fare even cheaper.

Qatar Airways recently launched ‘Avios Max’, which allows you to part-pay for any Qatar Airways flight with Avios.

Full details are in this HfP article. You get around 0.64p per Avios in our tests.

Your Avios need to be in a Qatar Airways Privilege Club account to do this, which means linking your BA account and then transferring your Avios across (which is free, instant and reversible if needed). This article explains how to link your accounts.
