Transfer Bonus: Qatar Airways Offering up to 40% Bonus Avios Miles Until 15th October 2025
14th October 2025: remember that miles must reach your Qatar Privilege Club account by 16th October 4.59AM, so any transfer now is cutting it a little close!
For a limited time, you can transfer points to Qatar Airways Privilege Club and get up to 40% bonus Avios miles! While transfer bonuses from Qatar Airways are fairly common, they are usually around 30% so 40% bonus is a pretty sweet deal.
Unfamiliar with how to use Avios miles? I recently used some Avios miles to get a good deal on a business class flight so stay subscribed for a guide coming really soon.
Update: I talked about my travel plans in this video. Tap here for a miles transfer calculator!
Conversion Bonus
The bonus rate is determined by the amount of miles converted within a single transaction:
| Miles Converted (in a single transaction) | Bonus Miles |
|---|---|
| Up to 9,999 | 20% |
| Between 10,000 to 49,999 | 30% |
| 50,000 or more | 40% |

Eligible Partners
Qatar Airways lists these as eligible partners:
The two that are relevant to Singapore-based people would be:
Even though HSBC’s logo appears above, points from HSBC Singapore do not qualify, though it doesn’t matter. HSBC has a pretty poor conversion ratio to Qatar Airways with a ratio of 35,000 points for 10,000 miles. Even with a 40% bonus, you end up with a conversion ratio similar to 25,000 points for 10,000 miles — this can already be achieved by first transferring HSBC Points to British Airways at 25,000 points for 10,000 miles ratio before transferring to Qatar Airways at a 1:1 ratio.
This promo is hence applicable only to those with Citi and HeyMax points/miles.
Terms and conditions apply
Do tap here for the full terms and conditions. In particular, reward points must be converted before 15th October 2025, 11.59PM (GMT+3) (16 October 2025, 4:59 AM in Singapore). Point conversion can take some time to process, so make sure you convert your points well ahead of this deadline.
According to the airline, bonus miles will be fulfilled by 30th November 2025.
Conversion timelines
Citibank says that it can take up to 14 working days for points to be converted into Qatar Privilege Club. I personally initiated a transfer on 3rd October and got my miles on 7th October which is about 2 working days. bk from the Telegram shared that he transferred on the 6th and received his miles on the 8th which was also around 2 working days.
HeyMax’s transfers should be instantaneous.
What can you use Avios miles for?
I’ve recently used Privilege Club’s miles to book Cathay Pacific at around 20% fewer miles. A Cathay Pacific business class flight from Singapore to Hong Kong can be redeemed for 28,000 miles with Cathay Pacific’s Asia miles, but just 22,000 Avios miles when you use Privilege Club to book.
With a 40% bonus, the deal becomes much better. Again, I will write a fuller guide on how best to maximise this promo so stay subscribed for that before you do any conversion if you are unsure of how good this promo is to you.
