30% Transfer Bonus from Citi ThankYou to Qatar Airways Avios
There is a new and very limited time transfer bonus on now for 10 days to get a 30% bump in Qatar Avios when transferring Citi ThankYou points. The bonus ends Nov 10th
While the promotion indicates all bank partners, Amex is very clearly not on the list so I would not try that.
The promotion comes from the Qatar side and they state to allow up to 45 days to get your 30% bonus points so definitely keep that in mind as we are all used to transferring to book something right now and this won’t work out that way.
Of course this could be a great way to book Qsuites now that the Qatar Avios program is up and running and you can also use this as a proxy for a Citi to BA transfer bonus (if you are willing to wait) since the programs are linked.

- For more details on the participating partners, please refer to the Participating Partners section below and their respective pages.
- Privilege Club members will earn bonus Avios upon converting Reward Points from a Participating Partner into Avios. The bonus Avios awarded will be 30% for all transactions of the number of base Avios (means Avios converted from Reward Points as per the set conversion ratio) converted in a single transaction from 1 November 2023 to 10 November 2023.
- The minimum conversion of base Avios in one single transaction needs to be 1,000 or above to be eligible to earn the bonus Avios.

- All bonus Avios earned will reflect in your Privilege Club account within 45 days post Campaign’s end date.
- Once Avios are credited to your Privilege Club account, after converting your Reward Points into Avios, the transaction will not be reversed.
- All base Avios and bonus Avios awarded under this Campaign will be subject to the Qatar Airways Privilege Club Terms & Conditions.
