Doha, Qatar: Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), Qatar's leading digital bank, and Qatar Airways Privilege Club have announced enhanced new features to benefit the QIB Qatar Airways cardholders of Visa Signature and Visa Platinum Credit Cards. This new initiative comes as part of QIB's ongoing commitment to provide exceptional value and service to increase the product value proposition to cardholders.

The new features offered to cardholders include the opportunity to fast track their Privilege Club tier, collect Qpoints on credit card spends and enjoy additional bonus Avios on their first Qatar Airways flight booked with the co-branded credit cards.

New cardholders of the Visa Signature cards will be upgraded to Privilege Club Gold tier when they spend QR100,000 within the first six months, and new cardholders of the Visa Platinum cards will be upgraded to Privilege Club Silver tier when they spend QR60,000 within the first 6 months. The Gold and Silver tiers will unlock exclusive privileges such as priority check-in and boarding, extra baggage allowance, complimentary lounge access and much more.

After completing their first Qatar Airways flight booked with their co-branded credit cards on qatarairways or the Qatar Airways mobile app, new cardholders of the Visa Signature and Visa Platinum cards will also collect additional bonus Avios. New cardholders travelling on First or Business Class will collect 10,000 additional bonus Avios and new cardholders travelling on Economy Class will collect 5,000 additional bonus Avios.

New and existing card will earn 1 Qpoint for every 400 Avios earned by the customer on his cobrand card spends. While new and existing QIB Qatar Airways Cobrand Platinum Card will earn 1 Qpoint for every 450 Avios earned by the customer on his cobrand card spends, elevating the opportunities with Privilege Club as Qpoints enable members to upgrade or retain their tier with the loyalty programme.

In addition to this, QIB and Qatar Airways Co-branded Cardholders continue to collect Avios on their everyday spends and enjoy their existing benefits of complimentary access to airport lounges worldwide through LoungeKey. Cardholders can also link their cards to Privilege Club accounts and start collecting and spending Avios across a wide range of shopping, dining and entertainment partners.
