Get Qatar Airways Platinum, Gold status with one flight

Qatar Airways is putting frequent flyers onto the status fast track with the airline’s new ‘Level Up’ promotion.

It’s an opportunity to easily lock in Platinum or Gold status in the airline’s Privilege Club rewards program with just one business class trip.

That status serves up worldwide lounge access, priority check-on and boarding, preferred seating, boosted baggage allowance, bonus miles, and more.

And of course, the benefits of Privilege Club status extend beyond Qatar Airways.

Travellers can enjoy similar perks across all Oneworld member airlines plus Virgin Australia:

• Privilege Club Gold equates to Oneworld Sapphire and Virgin's Velocity Gold
• Privilege Club Platinum lines up against Oneworld Emerald and Virgin's Velocity Platinum.

Travellers can use the promo code LEVELUP when making any business class return booking starting from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide or Perth, for a trip ending by March 31, 2025.

(That’s the Australian list of LEVELUP-eligible cities, with plenty of others across Asia, the USA, Canada and South America – the airline is clearly tragetting long-range travellers over short hops from the UK and Europe.)

That code, combined with your upcoming business class flight, will trigger a “complimentary tier upgrade” from your current QRPC tier to the next level:

• entry-level Privilege Club Burgundy members are promoted to Privilege Club Silver
• Privilege Club Silver members are upgraded to Privilege Club Gold
• Privilege Club Gold card-holders get catapulted to Privilege Club Platinum

And if you're already holding a Qatar Airways Privilege Club Platinum card, your status will extended for an additional year.
