Citi ThankYou Rewards credit cards

Citi ThankYou points earned with the Citi Strata Premier℠ Card and Citi Prestige Card (currently available) can be converted into Qatar Avios at a rate of 1,000 Citi points for 1,000 Qatar Avios. Other ThankYou point-earning credit cards do not have the ability to transfer points to Qatar, but they can be transferred to the Citi Strata Premier or Citi Prestige Card and then be converted into Qatar Avios.

Citi is our top choice for earning points with Qatar due to the fact that you can earn the equivalent of 2X to 3X Qatar Avios using only two credit cards: Citi Strata Premier Card and Citi® Double Cash Card.

Use the Citi Strata Premier to earn 3X on all of it's categories and the Citi Double Cash Card to earn 2X on all other purchases (1X point on your purchase and 1X point when you pay off that purchase).

You can also throw in the Citi Rewards+® Card and Citi Custom Cash℠ Card for earning more rewards — they all have no annual fee, so add Citi's non-premium cards as you see fit.

Here are all the Citi ThankYou credit cards that allow you to transfer points to Qatar:

AMEX Membership Rewards credit cards

The American Express Membership Rewards program offers several of the best travel rewards credit cards in the market. These cards can net you a large amount of points transferable to Qatar thanks to their high intro bonuses and bonus multipliers.

Membership Rewards points earned with these cards can be transferred to Qatar at a 1:1 rate. Every 1,000 AMEX points you convert will give you 1,000 Qatar Avios.

Here are the Membership Rewards credit cards you can use to earn Qatar Avios:

Chase Ultimate Rewards credit cards

Chase Ultimate Rewards is not a direct transfer partner of Qatar, but they are a partner of British Airways which is a partner of Qatar.

This means you can convert your Chase Ultimate Rewards points into British Airways Avios and then convert those points into Qatar Avios. This is all at a 1:1 rate, so 1,000 Chase points will give you 1,000 Qatar Avios.

Chase is a great option if you want top-notch travel insurance. They're also great for providing a little extra flexibility since Ultimate Rewards points can easily be redeemed for 1.25 to 1.5 cents each through the Chase Travel portal.

Here are the Ultimate Rewards credit cards you can use to transfer points to Qatar:

Capital One miles credit cards

Miles earned with Capital One Venture Rewards and Spark Rewards credit cards can be converted to British Airways Avios at a 1:1 ratio which can then be converted to Qatar Avios at a 1:1 ratio. This means 1,000 Capital One miles can be converted to 1,000 Qatar Avios.

Capital One Miles credit cards earn miles at a flat rate across most purchases along with bonus points when booking travel through Capital One. It's a fantastic program if you're looking for a one-card-fits-all solution.

These are the credit cards you can use to earn Capital One miles transferable to Qatar:

Bilt Rewards credit cards

The Bilt Rewards program is most known for allowing you to pay your rent and mortgage with a credit card with no transaction fee. This allows you to earn a large sum of points doing something you normally do.

Bilt Rewards points can be transferred to British Airways Executive Club which can then be transferred to Qatar. This is all at a 1:1 ratio which means 1,000 Bilt Rewards points can be converted into 1,000 Qatar Avios.

Avios-earning credit cards

Qatar offers their own co-branded credit cards that earn Avios on everyday spending. You can also earn Avios using credit cards from British Airways and Iberia since they can all be moved freely between Avios-earning programs.

If you fly with any of these Avios-earning airlines picking up one or more of these co-branded credit cards can be worth it for the extra benefits as well as the intro bonuses.
