Qatar Airways Privilege Club
Privilege Club combines Qatar Airways, oneworld, bilateral airlines, cards, hotels, cars, shopping, dining, Qatar Duty Free, Privilege Club Collection, and linked Avios programs.
A Qpoints program with Burgundy, Silver, Gold, and Platinum; upgrades use any rolling 12 months, while retention has published 12- or 24-month paths and Qatar-operated activity rules.
The owner, currency, and rules of entry. Administrative essentials, mercifully without the brochure.
