Qatar Airways Privilege Club and Marriott Bonvoy, the award-winning
global travel programme by Marriott International, are enhancing their
partnership to provide Privilege Club members with new benefits to unlock more
travel experiences across the globe.
Privilege Club members with a Marriott Bonvoy account can convert their
Avios into Marriott Bonvoy points starting today. This enhancement is the
first-of-its-kind for airline loyalty programmes in the Europe, Middle East and
Africa region, providing members with a new way to use their Avios across
Marriott Bonvoy’s extraordinary portfolio of more than 30 extraordinary brands
and 10,000 global destinations.
Qatar Airways Privilege Club members can now convert their Avios to
Marriott Bonvoy points at a two-to-one ratio. To do this, members simply need
to log into their Qatar Airways Privilege Club account through the Qatar
Airways app or website, visit the Marriott Bonvoy partner page, and select the
number of Avios they wish to convert. A minimum of 1,000 Avios is required in
their Privilege Club account to complete a transaction.
This added advantage to the partnership provides members with more
choice for spending their Avios. Privilege Club members are now able to book
complimentary nights across renowned brands such as W Hotels, JW Marriott,
Autograph Collection, Westin, and Moxy Hotels.
Qatar Airways Senior Vice President Loyalty, Mr. Thomas Vadakedath,
said: “Qatar Airways Privilege Club is pleased to expand its long-standing
partnership with Marriott Bonvoy. With the latest enhancement, we are excited
to offer Privilege Club members a new way to spend their Avios, and access
rewards of their choice with Marriott Bonvoy.”
“As the loyalty programme of the ‘World’s Best Airline’ we aim to offer
members with benefits that elevate their travel experiences, and the latest
advancement in our partnership is testament to this commitment.”
Marriott International Vice President Loyalty & Partnerships,
Europe, Middle East & Africa, Mr. Jitendra Jain, said: “We are excited to
expand our collaboration with Qatar Airways to further elevate travel
experiences of our most loyal customers. The addition of this benefit
reflects our commitment to curate and deliver enhanced benefits and
extraordinary travel experiences for our members across our global network.”
Qatar Airways Privilege Club and Marriott Bonvoy began their partnership
in 2011 to enrich members’ travel experience by allowing them to collect Avios
when staying at Marriott Bonvoy hotels, as well as converting their points into
Avios.
Through Avios, members now have greater access to over 30 of Marriott’s
renowned hotel brands in cities across Qatar Airways’ network of over 170
destinations worldwide. Along with the ability to redeem Avios into points for
hotel stays and airline miles, members will also have the option to bid for
once-in-a-lifetime experiences with Marriott Bonvoy Moments.
