Qatar Airways is launching a new promotion (tomorrow) in which it's offering members of its Privilege Club (free to join) up to 20% off fares between various European countries and the airline's destinations in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Oceania (this is a similar promotion to one that appeared around this time last year).
Ignore the Qatar Airways Avios sale – there’s a better deal available
Over the weekend, Qatar Airways launched a new Avios sale in which it's offering a bonus of up to 40% on Avios purchases completer by the end of 1 February. One the face of things, this is offering a reasonable deal, but if you're prepared to buy Avios today, a better deal is available.
New: Spend Avios on experiences with Qatar Airways (shows, concerts, sporting events, etc…)
Marriott Bonvoy and a few other programs have been giving allowing members to spend their points/miles on experiences (tickets to concerts, sporting events, etc...) for some time, and now Qatar Airways has joined in with the unveiling of its 'Privilege Club Collection'.
Another reason to join Qatar Airways Privilege Club (birthday discount!)

How to earn Avios on JetBlue’s transatlantic flights
As JetBlue has a partnership with American Airlines, most people who fly with the airline probably credit their flights to either JetBlue's TrueBlue program or to the American Airlines AAdvantage program. For JetBlue's transatlantic flights, however, the AAdvantage program isn't an option and that's where another of the airline's partnerships can suddenly become useful.

Qatar Airways has been offering Privilege Club members a 30% bonus when they convert various banking and loyalty program currencies into Avios since the beginning of the month but with the bonus offer ending tomorrow, there isn't much time left for those whose Avios balance needs a boost.
Indirectly, British Airways is now a Citi ThankYou transfer partner
An important change that took place in the miles and points world earlier this year had the knock-on effect of making Citi's ThankYou points a little more valuable and it's that knock-on effect that I'll discuss in this article.

As of yesterday, the Qatar Airways Privilege Club uses Avios as its currency of choice and also as of yesterday, Qatar Airways Privilege Club accounts and British Airways Executive Club accounts can be linked and Avios transferred back and forth between them.

Last month, Qatar Airways announced that its Privilege Club frequent flyer program would be replacing Qmiles with Avios as its currency and as of today, that transition appears to be complete.

Uh-Oh! Qatar Airways Is Changing Its Business Class Fare Structure (Again)
It was only last November when we saw Qatar Airways first introduce its version of an unbundled Business Class fare which no longer offered free seat selection or lounge access as part of its benefits package.

Qatar Airways Is Extending Privilege Club Status & Qcredit Expirations
Qatar Airways has rightly faced a good deal of criticism recently for being less than forthcoming with refunds that passengers are entitled to and for being unnecessarily opaque and hurried when it comes to how it has been dealing with elite status extensions...but the airline is in the road to redemption.
Qatar Airways Is Offering Elite Benefit Extensions To Select Flyers (But Be Quick!)
We have already seen IHG Rewards Club lower its elite status thresholds for 2020 and Hilton Honors has also confirmed that it's reviewing its elite status requirements for 2020 but, up until yesterday (and with the exception of Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific), we hadn't heard any of the major airlines making statements about the situation surrounding elite status qualification and elite benefits.

Earn Up To 4x Qmiles When Booking With Qatar Airways (UK)

Qatar Airways Makes Negative Changes To Upgraded Tickets
I've always considered Qatar Airways to be the better of the 3 big Middle Eastern carriers - less "bling" than Emirates, less penny-pinching than Etihad and offering a better Business Class product than both. But now the airline has gone and done something that cheapens the brand and, frankly, doesn't make much sense.

Qatar Airways is offering up to 20% off premium cabin fares and up to 15% off Economy Class fares for travel through 31 January 2017.

On top of that, Qatar Airways is offering double Qmiles to all Privilege Club members who book during the offer period.
