  This is bloody annoying because I just completed two nights booked under the previous 8,000 miles promotion.

  Would somebody care to share how I actually do this please?

  I spent the last 1/2 hour trying to find the link yet I still can’t see any reference on the Privilege Club website to converting points to Accor. Annoying as I’ve 8,000 Q Miles (earned literally days before you could earn Avios on QR) expiring at the end of the month which I’d like to transfer if possible ….

  Thank in advance for any assistance!

  Would you rather credit your Qatar flights into BA, Iberia or Qmiles? I have one coming up in a few months. Thank you

    Not really enough info to answer. Do you fly QR all the time? (Orphan miles aren’t that valuable) Are you chasing BA status? Booking class? Have a look on http://www.wheretocredit.com/qatar-airways

  Just FYI there is still no IT system set up to convert qmiles into Accor points. Nowhere on the privilege club let’s u do that and customer service do not know how to convert the point

    I’d love to take advantage of shifting some redundant QMiles into Accor however like others above, I am unable to find any link on the Qatar Airways website which facilitates such a transfer. I acknowledge there’s mention on the Accor website suggesting you could “take advantage now” but when you click the link, it takes you directly to the Privilege Club website where the trail dries up completely with not even a mention of Accor in their partner list.

    Looks like Marco is right, thus it would appear that this article is, at least in part, ill researched and/or very premature, and I’d like to suggest an edit to prevent others from wasting their time like I have today.

      Apologies. Clearly foolishly, when the Accor site (and the email I got from Qatar) said it was possible I believed them …….

        Probably QR’s IT department, it took 5 e-mails recently to get them to correct a problem with a discount code they sent me. It was only when I sent Akbar Al Baker (CEO) an e-mail it got fixed.

          I emailed AAB with a complaint back in 2013, and a week later he rang me whilst we were on the beach in Phuket to apologise for our problems and to offer us an upgrade for the flight home …. he gets bad press but he’s a stickler for the finest details! Top man 🙂

        In case anyone hadn’t heard – I heard back from Qatar Priviledge Club, and this can now be done via the App. Just did this myself and it seems to work, will wait and see when they appear in my Accor account.

        “Step 1 Go to the Qatar Airways Mobile App – Android & Ios
        Click On “Privilege Club” Icon
        Step 2 Click on “join now / login”
        Step 3 Log In Credentials
        Step 4 My dashboard:
        Click “redeem with partners”, click “convert qmiles”
        Step 5: “convert qmiles”
        1. Select “accorhotels” from the partner dropdown
        2. Add accorhotels loyalty membership number (16 digits)
        3. Select the number of blocks (qmiles can be redeemed in blocks of 4,500 that equals to 1,000 le club accorhotels points)”

      Oh well, not the end of the world. In terms of wasting time, to amass points you actually have to ‘waste time’ chasing dead leads and reading exaggeratedmisinformation at times which actually there is very little of on HFP to be fair.

  How much are the taxes and charges for booking reward flights using qmiles on london to doha for example?

  • Alan Young says:

    9 Dec9 December 09:14

    Certainly better than BA, I paid £150ish taxes for a return redemption flight with QR LHR/SLL/LHR (Salalah Oman) and also used the 5,000 points / night at the Hilton there. Hopefully a cheap winter’s break.

  OT but emirates have confirmed they are going to implement premium economy… IMO that will be an exciting option for trips to australia/nz

• Peter says:

  Very OT, had an email today from emirates to confirm address to send out my silver card. I am a member of skywards but haven’t flown emirates for 15 years. Scam?

  • Peter K says:

    9 Dec9 December 08:35

    I would have thought so. Why would they double check your address. I’ve never had mine checked by any company via email !

    • Peter says:

      Thanks, I’ve just had another email apologising for upgrading my account 🙂

  I am just about to book the pointhound offer. Is this a good deal? Can i convert the points to avios or virgin?

  • Genghis says:

    9 Dec9 December 10:30

    If you collect FB it’s decent. Cannot convert.

    • Stacy says:

      9 Dec9 December 11:03
