Qatar Airways Privilege Club Extends Members' Tier Status

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Qatar Airways’ loyalty programme, Privilege Club, is extending or reinstating members's tier status for 12 months, due to expire before 31 January 2021.
Under the extension, members can retain their current tier benefits such as upgrades, Shop & Pay with Qmiles, extra baggage, lounge access, and more, for 12 months.
Qatar Airways’ Privilege Club recently announced a tier extension offer of up to six months to its members, but has doubled this to one year in recognition that its members continue to be impacted by travel restrictions and flight reductions resulting from COVID-19 (coronavirus).
Additionally, Gold and Platinum members can now enjoy their Qcredits for longer, as they will now remain valid for two years, as long as the tier is retained. Qcredits for Gold and Platinum members can be spent on upgrades, extra baggage, and lounge access.
Following feedback from members, Privilege Club has also updated its policy to provide more flexibility to members with Qcredits by making them refundable.
