(MENAFN - The Peninsula) The Peninsula Doha: Qatar Airways Privilege Club has announced its partnership with Salam Stores, one of Qatar's most iconic shopping destinations. Starting today, Salam Stores Reward Cardmembers will now have the opportunity to convert Reward Card points to Qatar Airways Privilege Club Qmiles. Through this partnership, every 1,000 Salam Stores Reward Card points can be converted into 275 Qmiles, allowing members to reach their travel goals and enjoy an array of exclusive benefits and rewards through Privilege Club, including flight rewards, cabin upgrades, extra baggage, and much more. Members can visit Salam Stores at The Gate Mall, Mall of Qatar, or Doha Festival City to convert their Salam Store Reward Card points to Qmiles. Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, H E Akbar Al Baker, said, 'At Qatar Airways, we want to give our Privilege Club members more ways to earn Qmiles in their everyday lives. This is why we're proud to launch this new partnership with Salam Stores, a discerning curator of luxury products and home to an unparalleled shopping experience in Qatar. This partnership is another example of Privilege Club's commitment to rewarding and recognising all travellers, both frequent and occasional. 'As the world continues to overcome the global COVID-19 pandemic, many Qatari nationals and residents are planning to travel, and now is the time to start thinking about collecting as many Qmiles as possible for future travel plans. One of the easiest ways to build up Qmiles balances is through converting partner rewards points. This new partnership between Qatar Airways Privilege Club and Salam Stores helps our members reach their future travel goals and return the skies even sooner. Salam International CEO, Abdul Salam Abu Hissa, said, 'Salam Stores takes tremendous pride in its partnership with Qatar Airways Privilege Club and in offering our loyal customers the opportunity to convert Reward Card Points to Qmiles. This collaboration is another pillar for Salam Stores and comes within our direction to continuously offer our esteemed customers an array of premium services and world-class benefits. We aim that this partnership delivers memorable shopping and flying experience for the people of Qatar, whom we strive to serve. Last year, Qatar Airways' Privilege Club was one of the first airline loyalty programmes to announce a tier extension offer of up to 12 months to its members. Earlier this year, Privilege Club honoured a further extension of tier status until December 31, 2021. Over the past year, Privilege Club continued to invest in redefining the programme, including cutting the number of Qmiles required to book award flights by up to 49 percent. It also revised its Qmiles policy so that when a member earns or spends them, their balance is valid for 36 months. Qatar Airways Privilege Club also recently launched Student Club, which offers a range of benefits curated for students to support them throughout their educational journey. Members of Student Club will enjoy great savings and bespoke benefits such as special fares on flights, extra baggage allowances, the flexibility to change the dates of their flight, complimentary Super Wi-Fi onboard, and more. They will also be automatically enrolled to Qatar Airways Privilege Club unlocking even greater rewards and will receive a tier upgrade as a graduation gift as well as the opportunity to earn 5,000 Qmiles if they refer a friend to Student Club.  At Hamad International Airport, Privilege Club members can enjoy the most luxurious lounges in the world. Platinum members can experience the incredible Al Safwa First Class Lounge with two guests when travelling in Business Class. They are also entitled to enter the lounge when travelling in Economy Class. Gold members can unwind at the Al Mourjan Business Lounge with one guest, and Silver members can access it as individuals. All Privilege Club members travelling on award flights in Business Class can enjoy the exceptional facilities at the Al Mourjan Business Lounge. Qatar Airways Privilege Club is the Official Frequent Flyer Programme of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and recently won a Frequent Traveller award for ‘Best Rewards Program' in the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania regions for 2020.  MENAFN27042021000063011010ID1101988932
