Qatar Airways has launched Privilege Club Pro, a groundbreaking subscription-based enhancement to its frequent flyer program. For the first time in the airline’s history—and within the wider Avios loyalty ecosystem—travelers can now subscribe to monthly plans to earn Avios and Qpoints directly, streamlining their path to elite status. This innovative loyalty strategy positions Qatar Airways among the most dynamic airlines in the global aviation market.
The Doha-based carrier, known for its award-winning in-flight service and global network of over 160 destinations, unveiled the Privilege Club Pro program to cater to both occasional and frequent travelers looking to maximize their benefits. Available via the Qatar Airways website and mobile app, members can choose from four tiered subscription levels offering monthly Avios accrual, with the top tier also including Qpoints to help members climb status levels within the Privilege Club.
Four Tiers, Endless Rewards
1. Access Tier – USD 50/month or USD 500/year
Earn 2,500 Avios monthly, ideal for newcomers looking to gradually build their loyalty benefits without a high commitment.
2. Select Tier – USD 130/month or USD 1,300/year
Offers 7,500 Avios per month, designed for mid-level travelers seeking more rewards at a moderate investment.
3. Exclusive Tier – USD 240/month or USD 2,400/year
Delivers 15,000 Avios monthly, catering to business travelers and Avios collectors aiming for high-value redemptions.
4. Ultimate Tier – USD 350/month or USD 3,500/year
The most elite level, this includes 20,000 Avios and 5 Qpoints monthly—adding up to 60 Qpoints annually, enabling members to fast-track from Burgundy to Platinum status within the Qatar Airways Privilege Club.
Accelerated Status Upgrades with Qpoints
Qpoints play a critical role in determining a traveler’s elite tier within the Privilege Club. These points are traditionally earned by flying, but Privilege Club Pro’s Ultimate Tier changes that by integrating Qpoints into a subscription model—a first-of-its-kind innovation.
To understand the impact:
- Burgundy to Silver: 150 Qpoints
- Silver to Gold: 300 Qpoints
- Gold to Platinum: 600 Qpoints
With 60 Qpoints annually, members using the Ultimate Tier can dramatically shorten the journey to elite status, gaining access to a wealth of perks including:
- Priority check-in and boarding
- Increased baggage allowance
- Global lounge access
- Extra Avios earning on flights
More Than Just Flights: Unlocking Unique Travel Benefits
The Privilege Club Pro isn’t just about collecting points; it’s about opening a world of experiential and lifestyle advantages:
Privilege Club Collection
Members gain exclusive access to auction-based experiences such as the FIFA World Cup 2026, Formula 1 Grand Prix weekends, and UEFA Champions League hospitality packages. These unique events are designed to be once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences that set Privilege Club Pro apart from traditional programs.
Award Flights and Upgrades
Avios earned through the subscription can be redeemed across Qatar Airways’ expansive network covering Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. Members can also book award flights, cabin upgrades, and multi-destination itineraries with flexibility.
Qatar Duty Free
Subscribers can use their Avios at Qatar Duty Free, located at Hamad International Airport and select retail locations in Doha. This includes premium shopping with leading brands, electronics, watches, and local delicacies.
Global Redemption Network
Privilege Club Pro extends value beyond Qatar Airways. Members can redeem Avios with global airline partners including British Airways, Iberia, and Cathay Pacific, as well as with hotels, car rentals, and dining outlets—further expanding the scope of the program worldwide.
Subscription Flexibility and User Convenience
Subscribers can sign up on a monthly or annual basis, with the freedom to cancel anytime—a level of control and transparency that appeals to a wide spectrum of travelers. Once enrolled, Avios and Qpoints are automatically credited every month, simplifying the process of loyalty accumulation and eliminating the reliance on frequent travel.
By integrating flexibility, personalization, and exclusivity into its loyalty ecosystem, Qatar Airways is setting a new global standard for how airlines reward their customers. This innovation arrives at a time when travelers are increasingly seeking tailored, premium experiences—and are willing to invest in brands that deliver consistent value.
Why It Matters to Global Travelers
As air travel rebounds post-pandemic and competition between loyalty programs intensifies, Qatar Airways’ Privilege Club Pro delivers a proactive model that aligns with the needs of today’s dynamic traveler. With flexible redemption options, elite travel perks, and access to unforgettable experiences, the subscription service represents a next-generation loyalty solution that will likely influence other airlines in the Oneworld alliance and beyond.
For travelers departing or transiting through Doha, or frequenting routes to London, New York, Bangkok, Paris, or Sydney, the ability to gain status and value without flying is a major draw.
