✈️ Get Up to a 60% Bonus When Buying Qatar Airways Avios

Qatar Airways is running one of its best deals yet: get up to a 60% bonus when you purchase Avios until August 25th, 2025. Buying points isn’t always a smart move, but this one can unlock serious savings, especially if you’ve been eyeing a Qsuites redemption (arguably the best business class seat in the sky).

What’s the Deal?

The more points you buy, the higher your bonus: 

• Buy 5,000 to 15,000 Avios → 30% bonus

• Buy 16,000 to 41,000 Avios → 40% bonus

• Buy 42,000+ Avios → 60% bonus

At the top tier, your cost per point drops to about 1.44¢ USD or (2¢ CAD), slightly under the program’s fair value of 1.5¢ USD. What this means: you’re getting more value than you’re paying for, as long as you’re smart about your redemptions. 

🤔 Why It Matters

Cash prices for Qsuites can often cost about $5,000–$6,000 round trip. A one-way flight from North America to Doha runs 70,000 Avios, which would cost roughly $1,012 USD with this promo. Even after taxes and fees, you’re flying top-tier business class for the price of economy. 🤑

The catch? You need award availability, which can be hard to find, and you shouldn’t hoard points you don’t plan to use soon, as airlines can lower the value at any time.

Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Buy These Points?

✅ You should buy if: 

• You’re short on Avios for a specific redemption

• You want Qsuites at a fraction of the cash price

• You’re booking a trip soon and see award seats available

🚫 However, it is not a good idea to buy if: 

• You’re buying just for the deal and hoping to “use them someday”

• You’re not flexible with dates or routes

Also, keep in mind that you’ll be paying GST/HST + foreign exchange fees if you don’t have a Canadian credit card, which will really eat into the value. 

🤓 The Smarter Alternative

Before hopping on this deal, remember that Avios are easy to get elsewhere. You can transfer British Airways Avios to Qatar instantly at a 1:1 ratio, and BA sometimes runs transfer bonuses from partners like American Express or RBC Avion. 

Iberia also runs regular Avios sales with up to 50% bonuses. Thanks to some pricing quirks, Canadians can often buy cheaper there than directly with Qatar.

The Bottom Line

If you have a Qsuites booking in mind, you might want to buy points now. But if you’re just collecting points “for later,” skip it. Earning through transfers or credit cards will serve you better in the long term.

This deal ends on August 25th, 2025, so you’ve only got a few days to lock it in.
