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.

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.

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.

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.
