Qatar Airways, renowned for its exceptional in-flight luxury experiences, is extending its premium services to the U.S. market. Following successful trials in Qatar, Kuwait, and India, the airline has initiated a waiting list for U.S. customers as of May 7th.
The Qatar Airways credit card will be available in two variants: Visa Signature and Visa Infinite (V). Cardholders of the Signature card can enjoy exclusive privileges such as accelerated points accumulation.
