Starting October 11, Qatar Airways introduced a significant benefit for its Privilege Club credit card holders in the United States. Cardholders can now refund the reward fees they paid when booking reward flights through Qatar Airways. This new initiative applies to both the Qatar Airways Privilege Club Infinite Credit Card and the Qatar Airways Privilege Club Signature Credit Card. Customers can book their flights via the airline’s website, mobile app, or contact centers.

To qualify for this refund, cardholders must meet specific eligibility criteria related to reward fees. After completing their flights, they will see the refunded fees as statement credits on their respective credit cards. This new feature aims to enrich the rewards experience for cardholders. It also highlights Qatar Airways’ commitment to providing value to its loyalty program members.

When booking flights using Qatar Airways’ loyalty currency, Avios, travelers still need to pay the taxes and carrier-imposed fees in cash. Additionally, cardholders must have a cumulative spending of over $15,000 in their first card anniversary year to access this benefit. For the following 12 months, the requirement rises to $25,000 in spending for the second anniversary year.

Since launching the Qatar Airways-branded credit cards on May 7, the airline aims to strengthen its presence in the U.S. market. The U.S. hosts a substantial membership base for the airline. Currently, Qatar Airways offers 108 weekly flights from Doha Hamad International Airport to various destinations across the U.S. This includes 18 weekly flights to New York’s JFK and double-daily services to Washington D.C. and Dallas/Fort Worth.

Qatar Airways connects travelers to numerous destinations through its strategic location in the Middle East. It joins other major airlines in the region, providing convenient one-stop connections to global destinations. As Qatar Airways expands its operations in the U.S., it increases travel opportunities to new markets like Thailand, Indonesia, and Africa.
