Privilege Club announces the introduction of a new feature, Card Linked Offers,
which will integrate Avios in members’ lifestyles. Visa or Mastercard credit
cardholders – including cards registered in Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung
Pay – can now be linked to their Privilege Club accounts. This enables members
to collect and spend Avios on everyday purchases at a wide range of retail and
lifestyle partners in Qatar.
Card Linked Offers
enhances Privilege Club members’ benefits by rewarding them for shopping,
dining and other purchases with the linked credit cards, allowing them to have
more choices than ever before. This new feature is available for Visa credit
cards issued in over 70 countries where card linking is supported, as well as
for Mastercard credit cards issued in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada,
Denmark, Germany, Qatar, UAE, UK, Uruguay and USA.
Qatar Airways Group
Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: “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.
“Having introduced
the ability to collect and spend Avios in our airport, we believe that
introducing the new feature will further solidify the Privilege Club experience
as a lifestyle. As the Card Linked Offers launches, our members will see an
exciting range of benefits when spending and collecting their Avios.”
To link purchases to
the loyalty programme, users can simply log in to their Privilege Club account
and add their credit card details. Upon completing a transaction at partner
outlets, members can choose to collect or spend Avios through their account and
can either be credited in Avios or the equivalent cashback will be credited on
their linked card.
Privilege Club has
come together with a wide variety of esteemed partners including Kulud
Pharmacy, F45, Evergreen Organics and many others to offer Card Linked Offers
at their outlets. An extensive choice of retail, food and beverage, and
lifestyle venues will be available for members to benefit from the Card Linked
Offers as more partners are added to the portfolio.
