Forums Frequent flyer programs Other frequent flyer schemes Qatar – am I understanding this correctly ?

    Like the similar Finnair thread here’s a thread for Qatar Privilege Club queries.

    Looks like I might accidentally trigger Qatar status 1 or more times in the next year.

    How long is Qatar status valid once you obtain it?
    Is it for 12 months once obtained or only till your next card anniversary?
    Also do they do soft landings ?

    It’s weird but I’m seeing lots of marketing type speak on the website, and there are bits in the Other Place (though sadly no Wiki) and I’m struggling to find this info.

    Any pointers as to where this info can be found please?

    – 12 months
    – clock starts ticking once obtained, not card anniversary
    – yes, provided you have some flying activity in the previous 24 months (like BA, this is unofficial)

    I believe they have a 12 and 24 month “lookback” for requalification at 12 months, but I cannot find a reference online to the 24 month point requirements.

    This is my guide: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/qatar-airways-privilege-club-status/

    According to my OH status lasts 12 months from the date of qualification. He also says that you get 2 shots at requalification based on either the previous 12 months or 24 months, if you fail in the last 12 months alone. Yes to soft landings. Please don’t shoot the messenger if that’s wrong 🙂
