The current offer is tiered based on the number of Avios purchased, with a minimum purchase of 5,000 Avios required. Here are the bonus tiers:

How Do I Buy Qatar Airways Avios?

To be eligible to purchase Avios, you must have earned a minimum of 1 Avios since enrolment. Members can buy, gift or transfer up to 250,000 Avios per calendar year. Note that if you choose to purchase Qatar Avios, it could take up to 72 hours for them to land in your account, but typically, it is nearly instantaneous.

If your Privilege Club account is registered in Australia, Qatar Airways lets you buy Avios in AUD. You can however change your account address to one in the United States to buy points in US Dollars, which generally works out cheaper than the Australian pricing.

During this promotion, the cost works out to around 1.44 US Cents per Avios when purchasing at the maximum 60% bonus tier.

Under the current rates, you'd pay around AU$1,296 for a one way ticket in business class from Australia to Europe + taxes & fees. That’s based off the 90,000 Avios required to book Australia-Doha-London in Qatar business class.

Here’s how to buy Qatar Airways Avios, step-by-step:

1. Visit the offer page here and click “Buy Avios” located below the Buy, gift or transfer Avios window.
2. Log into your Qatar Airways Privilege Club account.
3. Select the amount of Avios you wish to purchase and complete your payment.

Best Credit Cards To Earn Avios

In Australia, we can now earn Qatar Airways Avios or British Airways Avios through American Express Membership Rewards. Because Amex doesn’t cap the earn rate on its cards, this is easily the quickest way to build your Avios balance.

The best cards for earning Avios are the Amex Platinum, Amex Explorer and Amex Essential. For business owners, we recommend the Amex Platinum Business.

Platinum cards offer the highest effective earn rate. All the cards mentioned above have a transfer rate to Amex of 3 Membership Rewards to 1 Avios.

For Those With Patience: Qatar Airways Privilege Club Pro Subscription

Earlier this year, Qatar Airways launched subscription plans for those frequent flyers after a monthly injection of Avios at a reasonable price. Just like British Airways, Qatar Airways offers both monthly and annual payment options, with the latter offering the best value.

Keep in mind that selecting a yearly plan will bring about one up-front payment, with a fresh batch of Avios landing in your account monthly. There are four Avios subscription plan tiers, as below;

• Access: 2,500 Avios per month for USD 50 ($500/yr) ⇒ 30,000 Avios/yr (~1.67¢/Avios).
• Select: 7,500 Avios per month for $130 ($1,300/yr) ⇒ 90,000 Avios/yr (~1.44¢/Avios).

Using Avios For Qantas Domestic Redemptions

• Sydney to Brisbane/Melbourne: 6,000 Avios in Economy or 12,500 in Business (compared to 8,000 and 18,400 Qantas Points)

Summing Up

Avios is the rewards currency shared by British Airways Executive Club, Qatar Airways Privilege Club, Finnair Plus, Iberia Plus, and Aer Lingus AerClub. If you have a frequent flyer account with any of these airlines, you might be familiar with earning and redeeming Avios.

To make things simple, Avios can be transferred between these programs at a rate of 1:1 in any direction. So, 1 Qatar Airways Avios is worth 1 British Airways Avios, and so on. Because each program will show different reward seat availability and pricing, transferring Avios can be a game-changer for maximising the value of your points.

The loyalty schemes of Avios regularly run bonus promotions to entice frequent flyers to purchase Avios for an account top-up.
