It’s common for airlines to sell points directly to consumers. While this most frequently happens in the form of ongoing promotions to buy points, we also sometimes see airlines launch subscription services. Qatar Airways Privilege Club has just launched its own version of this, with a twist, as it includes an elite status angle.

Do you know if these subscriptions are processed by points.com or something that would qualify for airline spending with a rewards card like AmEx Gold?
If they did like lifemiles and waived certain fees I think it would be a lot more attractive.
So, If you are only flying 4-6 times Business Class (RT from US to Doha & RT within Asia) is it worth it to get this or use Alaska/AA points which automatically gets you Lounge,etc? Granted this gets you Avios.

More importantly, what are the ex-US OneWorld status matches right now? My non-OneWorld mid/high-tier statuses are expiring at the end of this year. I'd put up with AA if I got Flagship access on domestic itineraries. You hear me (nobody in particular)?? That's my best offer.
surely the fact that you can buy Avios via a yearly subscription at a better rate is worth a mention?
If you get the Qatar card with Gold Membership + 150 QPoints and join the Privilege Club with 60 QPoints does it only take 90 QPoints ($67,500 spend) to make Platinum? While drowning in Avios ???
I mean if you have any sort of activity at any point the 3 year expiry will reset upon that activity so its pretty much for "Life"
and as long as you are subscribed you will essentially keep the avios for life since you are earning avios monthly through it
Could be a great monthly subscription to throw on a Bilt credit card to hit their 5 purchases per month requirement to earn points
