Qatar Airlines, a member of the OneWorld alliance, is among the fastest-growing airlines in the world. It connects passengers to more than 160 global destinations every day, including North and South America, Asia, Australasia, Europe, and Africa.

Like many airlines in the world, Qatar Airlines has a loyalty program accessible to its customers by signing up for the Privilege Club membership. Qatar Airway's frequent-flyer program enables customers to enjoy a range of benefits, including rewards, ticket discounts, and other incentives aimed at improving their flight experiences.

As a member of the Privilege Club, you can redeem your frequent flyer miles, generally referred to as Qmiles, for a flight with Qatar Airlines or its partner airlines.

How do I redeem my frequent flyer miles for a flight with Qatar Airlines?

  • Visit the Qatar Airlines website (Qatarairways.com)
  • From the homepage, place the cursor on the "Privilege Club" tab accessible at the top menu bar.
  • A dropdown menu is displayed.
  • Click on "Redeem Qmiles" under the listed redeem options.
  • Scroll down to find information under the heading "Flights on Qatar Airways," and click on the "Book award ticket" tab.
  • The website will prompt you to enter your Privilege Club login details.
  • Enter your membership number followed by your password, and submit by clicking on the "Log in" tab
  • Upon logging in successfully, your redeemable Qmiles are displayed on the dashboard.
  • Choose a suitable itinerary based on your Qmiles and seat availability. Click on "Redeem Qmiles and Qcredits" to book an award ticket for an economy, business, or first-class flight.
  • Moreover, you can click on the "Write to us" option in your logged-in area to contact the airline's Member Services and provide the details of your redemption request.
  • The airline also has provisions for using Qmiles plus cash in a scenario where you don't have enough Qmiles for the flight ticket.
  • Ensure that you redeem your frequent flyer miles for a flight with Qatar Airlines at least 48 hours before the departure date.

It's crucial to note that your Qmiles has an expiry period of three years after earning them, and the program schedules their expiry twice a year on 30th June and 31st December.

Log in to your Privilege Club membership account, and click on the "Qmiles Expiry Summary" widget on your dashboard to check your Qmiles' expiry dates. If you have a Platinum membership status in the Privilege Club, you don't have to worry about expiry.

You could also pay to extend or revalidate your Qmiles' expiry period for a further 12 months if you belong to the other Privilege Club membership tiers, namely Burgundy, Silver, and Gold. You will secure a chance to redeem your frequent flyer miles for a flight with Qatar Airlines.

Alternative method

You could also redeem your frequent flyer miles for a flight with Qatar Airlines by contacting the Qatar Airlines customer service team and request award availability. Booking an award ticket online is more effective than making a call to the airline's customer service.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Qatar Airways Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
