Qatar Airways has emailed elite members of their Privilege Club offering a three-month extension of their status in the wake of the global Coronavirus sitaution.
According to an email shared with Point Me To The Plane, Premier members of the Qatar Airways Privilege Club are being offered the opportunity to register to keep their status and extend their qualifying year for 3 additional months.
In the email we received, the member’s qualifying year was slated to end on December 12, 2020. If they registered prior to March 24, the status would be extended 3 months.
Qatar Airways Email
The news was shared with us by a Premier member who has received the following email from Qatar Airways (links and name redacted):
[Name redacted], we understand planning travel has been more difficult lately. That’s why we want to honour your loyalty as a valued Platinum member, ensuring matters beyond your control don’t impact your status with us.Your Platinum tier will end on 12 December 2020.

Upshot
Obviously, the coronavirus situation has had massive impact on global aviation with travel stocks reaching 52-week lows on Monday. Although United declined to make a similar move last week, Qatar Airways will almost certainly not be alone in extending status qualification periods for its elite members.

Hi
I received the Qatar email, when I click on it it just brings me to the website. I don’t see where to get my additional 3 months. Does anyone know where to click? I have had no luck & spent way too much time looking…..
James,
Go to Qmiles.com then there is a small button saying register now, it’s embossed in a picture and took me a while to find it. Hope this helps. Simon
