Card Linked Offers, a new tool being launched by Qatar Airways Privilege Club, will let members incorporate Avios into their daily purchases. Privilege Club members can now enjoy added benefits through Card Linked Offers, which reward them for their everyday shopping, dining, and other purchases made with linked credit cards.
This exciting feature expands consumers' options by enabling them to collect and redeem Avios at numerous retail distributors and partners across Qatar. Members with Visa credit cards issued in over 70 countries supporting card linking can use this new feature.
"At Qatar Airways, we constantly look towards innovation and ensuring our services are unparalleled in the industry, and our loyalty programme is no different. Privilege Club has seen many enhancements in the last year including the adoption of Avios as the rewards currency, and the latest Card Linked Offers announcement only continues our programme of improvement," said Mr. Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive.
