Qatar Airways Privilege Club members can upgrade tiers with 10% fewer Qpoints or retain status at 16.7-18.3% off for expirations between June 1 and November 30, 2026

## Summary

Qatar Airways has updated its Privilege Club tier retention and upgrade policy effective June 1, 2026, covering members whose status expires between June 1 and November 30, 2026. Members can upgrade their tier using 10% fewer Qpoints or retain their current status at a discount of 16.7% to 18.3%. This follows previous extensions offered during the Iran War period. The policy applies to specific Qpoint thresholds for qualification and requalification within the 12-month window. Key details:
- **Effective Period:** June 1 – November 30, 2026.
- **Benefit:** Reduced Qpoint requirements for tier upgrade or retention.
- **Context:** Part of ongoing support measures as operations remain at roughly 60% of pre-war levels.
- **Previous Policies:** Earlier extensions included flat 3-month extensions for Feb–May expirations and 12-month extensions for those near requalification
