Qatar Airways' Privilege Club has signed agreements with several leading hotel companies, giving members of the loyalty programme the chance to earn Qmiles at more than 3,700 properties worldwide. Marriott International, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts, Raffles Hotels & Resorts and Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts have all signed up with the Doha-based carrier's frequent flyer programme enabling members to earn Qmiles when they stay at participating properties.
The deals collectively give Privilege Club members a huge new range of hotels to choose from during their business or leisure trips across the Middle East, Europe, Asia Pacific and America. The news comes after last month's official opening of Oryx Galleria - a new Doha-based boutique - designed exclusively for Privilege Club, one of the world's most generous loyalty programmes, where members can redeem their Qmiles for a variety of luxury products.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker announced the mega hotel partnerships during ITB Berlin, the world's largest travel show taking place in the German capital. "Privilege Club is our way of saying thank you to our customers for choosing to fly with us, as earning Qmiles gives our passengers the opportunity to enjoy more benefits and earn greater awards," said Al Baker.
Marriott Rewards offers members the opportunity to earn Qmiles for stays at more than 3,600 Marriott International hotels around the world, including leading brands such as The Ritz-Carlton, JW Marriott, Renaissance Hotels, Marriott Hotels & Resorts, Courtyard by Marriott, Marriott Vacation Club. In Doha alone, there are six Marriott brand hotels.
Fairmont, with more than 60 luxury hotels around the world, is offering Privilege Club members the opportunity to earn Qmiles at landmark locations, including London's The Savoy, The Plaza in New York and the Fairmont Dubai. Dubai-based hospitality company Jumeirah Group allows Privilege Club members to accumulate Qmiles when staying or dining at any of the company's 16 high-end luxury hotels and resorts in destinations including Dubai, London, New York, Rome, Frankfurt, Shanghai, Abu Dhabi and the Maldives.
Privilege Club members can also earn Qmiles at over eight properties that belong to Raffles Hotels & Resorts in Singapore, Cambodia, China, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles and Paris. Furthermore, leading international hotel chain Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts, which has 29 properties, across Europe, Middle East, and Asia Pacific, is now linked to Privilege Club.-PR
