Following on from the Americas promotion we wrote about yesterday, it looks like Qatar Airways is also running a European promotion which, although less rewarding than the Americas promotion, could still give travelers invested in the Privilege Club program and nice boost towards earning or retaining elite status.

Quick thoughts
Anecdotally, more and more European-based travelers are crediting their flights to the Qatar Airways Privilege Club, so I suspect that the interest in the bonus Qpoints will be greater in this promotion than it will be from the Americas promotion we discussed yesterday.
Here’s how many Qpoints you need within 12 months to progress to the next tier:
- Burgundy (no status) to Silver – 150 Qpoints
- Silver to Gold – 300 Qpoints
- Gold to Platinum – 600 Qpoints
You can use the Qatar Airways calculator to check how many regular Qpoints a flight will earn you (e.g. Oslo to Doha on a Business Lite fare will earn 20 Qpoints for one-way travel).
Keep in mind that you only have until next Tuesday, 27 August, to make bookings that will earn bonus Qpoints, and that only flights completed by 10 December will earn the bonus, so don’t make the mistake of booking a trip for next year while thinking that you’ve locked in a great deal (a friend of ours did that with a promotion from earlier this year and he’s still steamed about it).
Bottom line
Qatar Airways is offering European-based members of its Privilege Club the opportunity to earn 50% more Qpoints on travel booked by 27 August and flights taken by 10 December 2024.
