Qatar Airways is a 5-star airline and has come up with a bank points transfer promotion. It can be a good offer for many travellers, including those from India. With Qatar Airways Transfer Promotion, you can earn an unlimited 30% Bonus Avios.
So, here is the detail.
30% Bonus Avios Offer Details
Every transfer of points into 1000 or more, Avios will earn you a 30% bonus Avios on select partners. The date of such transfer should be between 1st June 2023 to 30th June 2023. Bonus Avios will be credited within 45 days from the promotion’s end date.
Additional 1 Lac Bonus Avios
If, during the offer period, you transfer 500000 equivalent Avios, then you get an entry into a lucky draw. The ten winners will receive an additional 1 Lac Avios. So, if it gets lucky, then on 5 Lac Avios, you will receive a 2.5 Lac bonus Avios.
Qatar Airways Bank Transfer Partners for Offer
On the official website of Qatar Airways, there are three eligible transfer partners from India which are:
- Amex Membership Rewards: 2:1
- Citi Premiermiles: 2:1
- Citi Prestige: 1:4
However, the official email received from Qatar also mentions Axis Bank as a transfer partner. On 5th June 2023, Qatar issued a clarification email stating that Axis Bank is not participating in this offer. But Points transferred till 5th June (Hopefully) will receive a 30% bonus Avios.
Transfer Avios to British Airways or Iberia
Avios is a miles currency of four airlines. And you can transfer Avios between these airlines. Of these, British Airways & Iberia are great options. However, from Qatar Airways, you can only transfer Avios to British Airways. In any case, the transfer will take place at 1:1, which is great.

Should You Transfer to Qatar Airways for this Promotion?
This is indeed a great transfer promotion. One of the reasons is that you can transfer Avios between four airlines. So, there is value to be made. Also, Qatar Airways has nice products like Qsuite; if you are short of Avios, you can transfer your points now. But Qatar & British Airways charge high surcharges, so be aware.
Where to use Avios?
British & Qatar Airways are part of the “OneWorld” airline alliance. So, you use Avios to book award seats at several airlines. But after adding of new transfer partner from OneWorld by Axis, there are multiple opportunities to use your Axis Points. But a 30% transfer bonus is a great offer in most cases.
Final Thoughts
Qatar Airways transfer offer of a 30% Bonus Avios is great. It will surely make sense for travellers not only because of Qatar Airways but also because of Avios’s transferability. With a number of destinations Qatar directly flies to, you might not have to transfer your Avios until there are better opportunities.
