Qatar Airways loyalty programme, Privilege Club has
announced that its members tier status will be extended or reinstated for
memberships due to expire before 31 January 2021. Members can retain their
current tier benefits such as upgrades, Shop & Pay with Qmiles, extra
baggage, lounge access, and more, for 12 months.
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.
Qatar Airways Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Simon
Talling-Smith, said, "At Qatar Airways, we realise that the people travelling
right now are those who are trying to get home to their families, with the
majority of business and leisure trips being postponed or cancelled. As travel
restrictions increase, we want to reassure our Privilege Club members that they
will not lose their hard-earned membership status. As such restrictions are
outside of our control as an airline, we are honouring the loyalty our members
have shown us by offering to extend or reinstate their tier membership and
benefits for 12 months."
For member and employee safety and as a
precautionary measure taken by the State of Qatar to limit the spread of
COVID-19, the Privilege Club Service Center located at Oryx Galleria Doha will
be closed until further notice. Members are encouraged to download and use the
Qatar Airways mobile app for any Privilege Club related queries. The app
provides members with convenient access to their membership account on the go.
For further assistance, members can call the dedicated Privilege Club hotline
on +974 4023 0023.
Qatar Airways recently launched a new commercial policy to
allow all passengers the flexibility to alter travel plans up to three days
prior to departure for flights booked till 30 September 2020. This flexibility
