Qatar Airways launches digital membership

Qatar Airways has officially launched digital membership for its Privilege Club members, providing them with a more convenient option to redeem points when travelling across the airline’s global network.

Available to all Privilege Club membership tiers – Burgundy, Silver, Gold and Platinum – the new digital membership provides travellers with the same level of service as the physical card using their smart phones or tablets. Members can continue earning and redeeming Qmiles on products and services, priority check-in, extra baggage allowance, special discounts at Qatar Duty Free, accessing Qatar Airways’ lounges* and using partner airline services, award fee waivers for Gold and Platinum members, Flexi Awards and online redemption discounts.

Travellers can now present their membership on a smart phone or tablet via the Qatar Airways App, mobile website, Apple Wallet, email or as a saved image on a portable device. The digital membership card will now supersede the physical card for all new Burgundy Privilege Club members and their nominated family members, providing them with immediate access to the many benefits of the Privilege Club programme.

Qatar Airways Vice President of CRM and Loyalty, Dr. Ian Di Tullio, said: “I’m thrilled to introduce our new digital membership, providing the most accessible service for our Privilege Club members as they travel. We are always looking for new ways to provide our passengers with convenient service, giving them the very best travel experience, and our new digital membership initiative allows our valued members immediate access to the benefits of the Privilege Club programme without having to wait for the physical card to arrive in the mail. Travellers can start earning and redeeming instantly when booking and travelling with Qatar Airways.”

Privilege Club members can take advantage of a number of English and Arabic-language digital services available to them including the Qatar Airways App allowing travellers to book flights, check-in, manage their accounts and enjoy generous benefits and offers from the convenience of a smart phone, tablet or desktop – anywhere in the world.

Qatar Airways Privilege Club members earn Qmiles and Qpoints every time they fly with Qatar Airways or oneworld partner airlines. Qpoints allow members to move up the membership tiers and unlock even greater privileges, while Qmiles are reward miles that can be redeemed on flights to almost 1,000 destinations served by Qatar Airways, the oneworld alliance and our airline partners. Qmiles can also be redeemed for award flights, upgrades, excess baggage, pay for shopping at Qatar Duty Free and much more.

oneworld is an airline alliance, bringing together 15 of the world’s leading airlines. The airlines work together to provide an unrivalled international network serving more than 14,000 daily flights to some 1,000 destinations across the globe. Privilege Club members get a matching equal tier to oneworld’s frequent flyer programme that provides enhanced recognition and benefits on any oneworld flight. Members can take advantage of a larger network of oneworld lounges, earning and redeeming opportunities on the world’s leading airlines.
