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:
