Listed below are a few of the most popular redemptions if you're sitting on a stack of Qatar Avios or you're looking to fly some solid First/Business class products with partners.

You can book these flights by signing into your Privilege Club account on Qatar's website and searching for award flights.

• Fly From The U.S. To Doha On Qatar: If you want to use your Avios to actually fly Qatar, the best option is to fly their top-notch Business Class product from the U.S. to Doha. Business Class flights start as low as 70,000 Avios one-way. Qatar has a handful of non-stop flights from the U.S. including:
  • Atlanta (ATL)
  • Chicago (ORD)
  • Los Angeles (LAX)
  • Miami (MIA)
  • New York (JFK)
  • San Francisco (SFO)
  • Seattle (SEA)
  • Washington, D.C. (IAD)
• Fly From The U.S. To Europe On American Airlines: One-way Economy flights start at 35,000 Avios while one-way Business class flights start at 70,000 Avios. This includes flights from
  • Chicago (ORD)
  • Los Angeles (LAX)
  • Miami (MIA)
  • New York (JFK)
  • Philadelphia (PHL)
• Fly From The U.S. To Australia On Qantas In First Class: If you want some real top-notch luxury and you're sitting on loads of Avios, you can fly from the U.S. to Australia in First Class on Qantas. This will cost you 225,000 Avios, but the normal cash cost of these flights are greater than $10,000 so you'll be getting some exceptional value out of this redemption.

Hotels & Car Rentals

Qatar Avios can be used to book car rentals and hotels through the Hotels and Cars portal. The value you get out of these redemptions will vary.

When comparing prices I found hotel bookings that gave values as low as 0.54 cents per point and as much as 0.75 cents per point. I also found that all of the Cash + Avios bookings offered better value versus booking in all Avios which is the norm.

Car rentals produce the same wide range of results with the Cash + Avios bookings offering the better value over paying in all Avios.

Other Redemptions

Qatar Avios can also be redeemed for:

• Flight redemptions using Cash + Avios: When redeeming Avios, you'll be given the option to pay in a mix of cash and Avios if you have at least 50% of the Avios required to book the award flight. The biggest benefit of Cash + Avios, is that these redemptions will generally give your Avios better value when compared to paying for flight in all Avios.
• Using Avios for Excess Baggage Awards: Privilege Club members can use their earned Avios towards excess baggage costs. This can be for bags that weigh between 1kg and 10kg, with the exception of flights to/from the Americas.
• In-flight Super Wi-Fi: Qatar Avios can be redeemed for Super Wi-Fi available on select Qatar aircrafts. When purchasing Wi-Fi, you can save money/Avios when purchasing your Wi-Fi code before your trip.
• Shop & Pay With Avios: Qatar Avios can be used to shop online through the Privilege Club eShop which features more than 600 products that includes beauty, fashion & accessories, toys, electronics, and more.

Best credit cards for earning Qatar Avios

Qatar offers two co-branded credit cards that you can use to earn Qatar Avios on everyday spending. Both cards are pretty solid options for the first year thanks to the complimentary status they offer, but after the first year they get hard to justify having.

Here are Qatar's co-branded credit cards:

Qatar Airways Privilege Club Infinite Credit Card

Qatar Airways Privilege Club Signature Credit Card

Use partner credit cards

If you're really looking to maximize your Qatar Avios, you'll want to pick up a credit card from any of Qatar's major credit card partners. Points and miles earned with these cards will earn you significantly more than Qatar's own credit cards due to the large intro bonuses and higher multiplier on everyday spending.

Here are Qatar's major credit card transfer partners:

• American Express Membership Rewards: AMEX points can be converted to Qatar Avios at a 1:1 rate—1,000 AMEX points for 1,000 Qatar points.
• Citi ThankYou Rewards: Citi points can be converted into Qatar Avios at a 1:1 rate if you have the Citi Strata Premier Card which just happens to be one of the best (if not the best) credit card for earning on everyday spending thanks to it's uncapped 3X earning rates.

Avios can be moved freely between other Avios-earning airlines via British Airways Executive Club. Link your Qatar Avios account to British Airways and you'll be able to convert Avios at a 1:1 rate back and forth between programs.

You can also link Finnair, Iberia, and Aer Lingus to move Avios between those airlines and British Airways.

Since this is the case, you can also earn Avios using the remaining major credit card rewards programs:

• Chase Ultimate Rewards: Chase points can be converted into British Airways Avios and can then be converted to Qatar Avios. This comes out to a 1:1 rate—1,000 Chase points for 1,000 Qatar Avios—after both transfers.
• Capital One miles: Capital One miles can be converted into British Airways Avios and can then be moved to Qatar. You'll end up with a 1:1 rate of 1,000 Capital One miles for 1,000 Qatar Avios after both transfers.
• Bilt Rewards: Bilt Rewards points can be converted into British Airways Avios. They can then be moved to Qatar which comes out to a 1:1 rate—1,000 Bilt points for 1,000 Qatar Avios.
