What happened
Qatar Airways Privilege Club has introduced two new restrictions for redeeming Avios for friends and family, effective immediately. 1. Account Age: The Privilege Club account must be at least 30 days old. New accounts cannot redeem immediately upon transfer. 2. Recent Activity: The account must have credited at least one flight operated by Qatar Airways or a partner airline, or made a transaction on a Qatar Airways co-branded credit card. These rules apply specifically to redemptions for others. The ability to book for oneself remains unchanged. The program allows adding up to 10 companions via "My List" (4 people) and "Family and Friends" (6 people). Points optimizers using transferable currencies like Amex, Chase, Citi, Bilt, or Rove should ensure their PC accounts meet these criteria before booking Qsuite for others
