Qatar Airways Privilege Club Visa Unlimited Credit Card

The high-end Qatar Airways Privilege Club Visa Unlimited Credit Card currently offers up to 80,000 bonus Avios to new cardholders. They will earn 40,000 Avios after the first transaction and an additional 40,000 Avios plus 150 Qpoints after spending $5,000 within the first 90 days of account opening.

Similar to the Qatar Visa Signature Card, this offer is only valid for new accounts opened and issued between November 15 and December 31.

The card also has a spending multiplier for new and existing cardholders through the end of the year — 6 points per dollar spent on restaurant purchases and 2 points per dollar spent on all other purchases.

The card earns 5 points per dollar spent on all Qatar Airways purchases and 2 Qpoints for every $1,500 spent.

The card has an annual fee of $499, comes with Visa Unlimited benefits, and new cardholders receive Privilege Club Gold (equivalent to OneWorld Sapphire) during their first year. It’s worth noting that if you already have Gold status, you’ll get an extra year of membership starting the day you’re accepted for the card.

By getting this card, you can effectively buy Gold status with the program for $499 a year, and that’s before factoring in its welcome bonus and earning rate. Additionally, with 150 QPoints in the welcome offer, you’ll also be 25% of the way to Platinum status (equivalent to Oneworld Emerald), which requires 600 Qpoints over a 12-month period to qualify.

Cardholders also receive up to $600 in Business/First Class and up to $300 in Economy on each round-trip award flight as reimbursement for award fees (which increased in price in September). Cardholders must spend $15,000 during their first year of card membership and $25,000 in subsequent years to be eligible for this benefit. After completing all flights, the award fee waiver will be refunded to your credit card.

This benefit is also applicable to Qatar Airways Privilege Club Visa Signature Credit Card.

The bottom line

Both cards offer bonus category multipliers plus a good chunk of Avios on restaurants and other purchases through the end of the year. Keep in mind that multipliers are only active until the end of the year, so if you want to take advantage of your Avios build, apply as soon as possible.

Both cards offer solid benefits, so the question is whether you can justify the extra $400 in annual fees for the Qatar Airways Visa Unlimited. Complimentary Gold status on the Visa Infinite version is a strong value proposition, so if you fly frequently with American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Qatar Airways or their partners, this card may be worth getting.
