Qatar Offers 30% Transfer Bonus From Citi and HSBC
Qatar Airways Privilege Club has launched a new promotion, offering a bonus of 30% for those who transfer points from Citi and many other non-US programs. In case you’re not aware, Qatar now uses Avios as its loyalty program currency. Let’s see the details of this latest promotion.
The Offer
For a limited time only, collect 30% bonus Avios when converting your bank reward points into Avios by June 30, 2026. Here’s how to convert your reward points:
- Log in to the rewards account that you have with your bank.
- Choose to convert your reward points into Avios with Qatar Airways Privilege Club.
- Enjoy bonus Avios credited to your Privilege Club account.
The bonus is offered by Qatar Airways Privilege Club. They’re actually offering a bonus for transfers from many other loyalty programs, but only Citi is relevant for US based readers.
Participating partners include: Ahlibank, Ahli United Bank, ahlibank Oman, Cathay United Bank, CBQ, Citibank, CTBC Bank, Doha Bank, Dukhan Bank, Emirates Islamic, HSBC Hong Kong, HSBC Sri Lanka, HSBC USA, Hyundai Card – AMEX, Kasikorn Bank, Kuwait Finance House, Mashreq, Ping An E-wallet, QIIB, QNB.
Key Terms
- Privilege Club members will earn bonus Avios upon converting Rewards Points from a participating partner into Avios. The bonus Avios awarded will be 30% for all transactions between June 1 and June 30, 2026 of the number of base Avios (means Avios converted from Rewards Points as per the set conversion ratio) converted in a single transaction.
- The minimum conversion of base Avios in one single transaction needs to be 1,000 or above to be eligible to earn the bonus Avios.
- The bonus Avios will be calculated per transaction and not on the cumulative sum of base Avios converted from Reward Points during the Campaign Period.
- Once Avios are credited to your Privilege Club account, after converting your Reward Points into Avios, the transaction will not be reversed
Conclusion
This 30% bonus is a good opportunity for transferring Citi ThankYou points to Qatar Avios, but we have seen bonuses as high as 40% in the past.
Some of the sweet spots of this program include flying Qsuites to Doha, New Zealand and more.
