Qatar Airways has announced that it is adopting Avios as the reward currency for all its members from late March 2022. Members of the Privilege Club will enjoy a seamless transition to the loyalty program’s new reward currency, Avios, as their existing Qmiles balances will be converted to Avios on a 1:1 basis as of January 1, 2018.
With the change to Avios, members will be able to accumulate rewards even faster and leverage exciting new enhancements in managing and spending their rewards. Moreover, members will be able to keep their rewards balance and continue to enjoy the redemption opportunities offered to them. You can find more information on www.qatarairways.com/avios, and the Qatar Airways Privilege Club will announce more next month.
Mr. Akbar Al Baker, Chief Executive Officer of Qatar Airways Group, said: “The move from Qmiles to Avios marks a ground-breaking new era for Privilege Club, enabling our loyal members to take advantage of the most compelling loyalty network and the largest portfolio of partners in the industry.
Qatar Airways, the World’s Best Airline, continues to redefine loyalty with exciting digital innovations to provide world-class experiences to members. During the coming weeks, we will reveal more details of this exciting change, as we explore even more ways to reward both our members and non-members.”
AerClub, Iberia Plus, Vueling Club, and British Airways Executive Club all use Avios as their loyalty currency. Soon, Avios will be the new currency for Qatar Airways Privilege Club. Avios can be accumulated in a variety of consumer sectors, including aviation, travel, leisure, shopping, and financial services. In addition to American Express, Nectar, Avis Budget Group and Marriott, IAG Loyalty partners with over 200 global brands.
