Promo Avios Qatar Airways bonus points
To the point Until October 19, 2024, you can get a bonus of up to 60% when you buy Avios from the Qatar Airways Privilege Club program.

Buy Avios with a bonus

Until October 19, 2024, you can buy Avios from the Qatar Airways Privilege Club program with a bonus of up to 60%. Take advantage of this lightning sale!

The promotion works in increments. The more points you buy, the higher the bonus points percentage.

Here are the points purchase levels and associated bonuses:

Points purchased Percentage
5 000 to 25 000 20 %
26 000 to 50 000 30 %
52,000 and over 60 %

Please note that these percentages or point levels may change slightly depending on your profile.

So if you buy the maximum 250,000 Avios, you get a total of 150,000 Avios. The cost is 5,750 USD, or 1.43 US cents per mile (or 1.97 Canadian cents per mile).

This is a recurring promotion: the last one ended in September 2024 and offered up to 50% bonus.

Buying Avios could help you in case you run out of Avios to book an airline reward, if you’ve exhausted all other options for obtaining Avios via credit cards.

Don’t forget, you can combine your Qatar Airways Privilege Club and British Airways Executive Club Avios by linking your accounts.

A Credit Card With No Conversion Fees

Since the purchase of Avios miles is billed in US dollars, we recommend using a credit card with no conversion fees for foreign currency transactions. Here are three of them:

Other Ways to Earn Avios Miles

Before buying Avios miles, you should look at other options available to you in Canada:

All these programs are transfer partners with British Airways Executive Club or Qatar Airways Privilege Club. So you can easily transfer your points into Avios.

Here are the best credit card offers from these different programs:

And you can even get them directly with the RBC British Airways Visa Infinite Card!

Bottom Line

Is it worth buying Avios? As with any purchase of points and miles, this will depend on your objective, and it’s important to remember that you can use them with both Qatar Airways and British Airways.

For example, if you want to experience the Qsuite, the cost of buying the missing Avios could be much cheaper than the cash price of the Qsuite. Discover our Qsuite reviews on board the A350 and the B777-300ER.

You’ll need to decide based on the reward flights you plan to book soon.

We advise you not to let your Avios sleep in your account, as there may be devaluations, as recently seen with a silent devaluation of the program.
