Qatar Airways Introduces New Credit Card Targetted to US Travellers!

Qatar Airways has long been a top pick when it comes to travelling around the globe. In addition to providing curated passenger experiences, Qatar Airways also provides luxury connectivity around the world. And now, the airline is upgrading its passenger experiences with Qatar Airways’ new credit cards! So, here is everything you need to know, in order to make your next trip with Qatar Airways better than ever.

With the new Qatar Airways credit cards, travellers from the US can easily earn and use points and miles. This is also the first ever co-branded credit card that is specifically designed for American travellers.

Each of the cards is designed specifically for different types of travellers, allowing both to earn ‘Avios’ points. Avios is the loyalty program that is used by Qatar and partner airlines, which includes British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Vueling, and Finnair.

Qatar Airways Privilege Club

 The Qatar Airways Privilege Club Visa Signature Credit Card goes for only $99 per year. This is the perfect card if you choose Qatar Airways for your trips, at least a few times a year. The annual fee is lower than their annual fee card, meaning you can still get some of the benefits without spending a high price. This card offers four Avios per dollar spent on Qatar Airways purchases, and two Avios per dollar spent on restaurants. Additionally, this card also provides one Avios per dollar spent on all other transactions on Qatar Airways.

The Privilege Club Visa Infinite Credit Card

If you’re super loyal to the airline, and choose Qatar Airways for all your trips, this card is perfect for you. The  Qatar Airways Privilege Club Visa Infinite Credit Card can earn mid-to-top-tier levels of status with the airline. The earnings go up to five Avios per dollar on Qatar Airways purchases, three Avios per dollar on restaurants, and one Avios per dollar on all other spending. Additionally, members can also take advantage of selected concierge, luxury hotels, and rental car privileges.

Enjoying the Additional Benefits

That’s not all the benefits you can get with the new credit cards. After one year, the Visa Signature cardholders get bumped to silver status. From here, travellers can enjoy perks such as:

  • 25% extra Avios earnings on eligible paid flights
  • Priority standby, check-in and boarding
  • Complimentary lounge access and two annual guest passes
  • Extra baggage allowance

There are also some amazing perks for the Qatar Privilege Club Infinite Credit Card members:

  •  Receive automatic elite status—Gold status with Qatar Privilege Club—for the first year of card membership
  • Automatic elite status
  • Priority standby, check-in, and boarding
  • Complimentary lounge access and four guest passes annually
  • Extra baggage allowance; a meet-and-greet service at Hamad International in Doha

You can now apply for the new Qatar Airways Privilege Club Credit Cards on the airline’s website.

Atmosphere Core Unveils Its First European Heritage Hotel in Piedmont, Italy

Heritage Hotel by Atmosphere Core opens in Italy

Atmosphere Core, the well-established leader in hospitality across South Asia, has expanded into the European market. The company recently opened Borgo Monchiero Heritage by Atmosphere in Piedmont, Italy. This marks the company’s first venture into Europe and adds a historical gem to its Heritage by Atmosphere collection. The heritage hotel sits in a beautifully restored monastery, built in 1773, and retains its original Romanesque architecture and sacred frescoes. Located in one of Italy’s most culturally rich regions, the hotel offers an authentic experience steeped in northern Italy’s art, history, and cuisine.

Salil Panigrahi, Group Managing Director of Atmosphere Core, expressed excitement about this new European chapter.

“As we continue to grow and cultivate relationships with global partners for expansion, in the last year we have made associations with a number of European businesses.  In Italy specifically, we have the leading Bottega S.p.A. joining our unique Wine Program. These significant partnerships brought Italy to Atmosphere Core and vice versa, we now look forward to the launch of our first destination in Europe in 2026”.

A Historic and Luxurious Destination

Borgo Monchiero sits within a UNESCO World Heritage-listed area. It lies amid vineyards that produce celebrated wines such as Barolo and Barbera. The three-story hillside monastery features 19 luxurious suites and rooms. Each suite has been carefully restored to preserve the building’s original charm. The on-site chapel also offers a beautiful space for intimate weddings and ceremonies, making it the perfect setting for couples seeking a unique destination for their special day.

The former refectory, once a dining hall for resident monks, now transforms into a culinary destination. Guests will indulge in exquisite regional dishes at the main restaurant. Additionally, the heritage hotel offers a chapter hall for private gatherings, a lounge bar for relaxation, and a garden terrace with sweeping views of the surrounding hills and vineyards. Moreover, a dedicated spa area includes a sauna, infrared therapy, and a restored stone reservoir turned private jacuzzi. For outdoor enthusiasts, the landscaped gardens and pool area offer a serene escape, perfect for basking in the sun or hosting alfresco events.

A Shared Vision for Heritage by Atmosphere

Borgo Monchiero’s owners, Franco Giampetruzzi and Gian Maria Debenedetti, emphasized their alignment with Atmosphere Core’s brand ethos. Mr. Giampetruzzi shared:

“When sourcing a hotelier, Atmosphere Core’s ambitions to expand internationally with ‘HERITAGE BY ATMOSPHERE’ seamlessly mirrored our project plans.  We needed an established operator with big ideas yet sensitive to the value of authenticity.  The decision was very easy and now we forge ahead in preparation of welcoming guests in the coming year.”

Mr. Debenedetti added,

“We envision Borgo Monchiero as a harmonious fusion of art, 18th-century history, and experiential luxury. Atmosphere Core’s sympathetic approach with its ‘Heritage’ brand embodies this vision.”

Atmosphere Core’s Growing Global Presence

The luxury brand has become known for its collection of nine island resorts in the Maldives. The company also boasts a growing portfolio of luxury properties in Sri Lanka and India. As a result, it has gained a reputation for personalized service, exceptional dining, and unforgettable experiences. With its new venture in Italy, the company offers a one-of-a-kind escape for travelers, wine connoisseurs, and nature lovers. Guests can explore the beauty and culture of this idyllic European region while enjoying the exclusive offerings of Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts.
