Best ways to use Avios (Privilege Club)
Where these miles stretch furthest, and when to keep your cash. Test any of it against a real fare on the right.
Great valueThe redemptions worth buying miles for
Qsuite to Doha
from 70,000 miles · $1,050 at our rate
The business class other airlines get measured against: a door, a double bed if you want one, dine on demand. One-way from the US East Coast typically prices from around 70,000 Avios.
Onward to the Maldives and Southeast Asia
Doha is a one-stop hub to the Indian Ocean and half of Asia, so a single award often covers the whole honeymoon leg. Availability is best booked early and midweek.
Oneworld partner awards
Avios also book American, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines and the rest of Oneworld when Qatar's own cabins are sold out.
Good valueSolid uses when the cash fare is high
Long-haul economy when cash fares run high

Buying Qatar Airways miles — your questions
How much does it cost to buy Qatar Airways miles?
Buying Qatar Airways miles here costs 1.5¢ per mile — $15 per 1,000 miles. That rate is confirmed on your quote, before any payment is made. Use the calculator on this page to price the amount you actually need; the quote itself is free and no-obligation.
Can you buy Qatar Airways miles?
Yes. Qatar Airways miles are transferred into the loyalty account you already hold, and you book directly with the airline afterwards. You don't open anything new, and you keep control of the reservation. We are not affiliated with any airline or loyalty program.
How fast are Avios (Privilege Club) miles delivered?
Most transfers land in your account within 3 business days. The exact window is shown on each program's page, and you'll get confirmation the moment the transfer completes.
What else are Avios miles called?
Privilege Club is Qatar Airways' frequent flyer program, and its currency, Avios, is also called Qatar Avios points, Qmiles, QR miles or Qatar Airways points. It's one currency whatever the name: buy or purchase Avios under any of them and it's the same order here, added to your account at the same rate.
Is Avios the same as QMiles?
Yes. Qatar Airways retired QMiles in 2022 and converted every balance to Avios, the same currency British Airways, Iberia and Finnair use. Anything you read about QMiles applies to Avios now.
Can I move Qatar Avios to British Airways?
Yes. Link your Privilege Club and BA Executive Club accounts and Avios transfer 1:1, instantly, in both directions. That also means it's worth comparing our Qatar and BA rates and buying whichever is cheaper.
Do Qatar Avios expire?
After 36 months without any account activity. A single earn or spend of any size resets the clock on the entire balance.
What payment methods do you accept?
We'll confirm the accepted payment methods when we send your quote. Payment is always handled off this site.
Is this legitimate?
Yes. We've completed 5,000+ transfers. You get a firm quote confirming your exact rate and delivery window before any payment is made, and the miles go into an account you already control.
Will buying miles affect my account?
We handle every transfer carefully to protect your account. If you have questions about a specific program, reach out before ordering and we'll walk you through it.
