Qatar Airways recently launched a solid promotion with Citi ThankYou: transfer Citi ThankYou points to Qatar Airways Privilege Club and receive a 30% bonus in miles! Qatar Airways now uses Avios, which can be transferred freely back and forth with British Airways Avios.
Key terms
- Promotion ends on May 31, 2024
- Bonus miles are calculated based on each individual transfer amount, not cumulative transfers
- Bonus miles will be reflected in your Privilege Club account by June 15, 2024
This transfer bonus is being offered directly by Qatar Airways, so you may not see any related messaging when logging into your Citi ThankYou account.
While a 30% bonus is certainly a good offer, pay attention to one important detail in the terms. As highlighted above, the bonus miles may not appear in your account until June 15. That means if you need to book a Qatar Airways award ticket, you may need to transfer the full amount at the standard 1:1 ratio unless you are willing to wait as long as 6.5 weeks, depending on when you transfer, for the bonus miles to arrive. Of course, Qatar Airways Privilege Club may post the bonus earlier, but there is no guarantee that will happen.
Hopefully you can take advantage of this opportunity to transfer points and earn more miles, but make sure to pay attention to the terms and the timing of the bonus posting.
