Qatar Airways Qpoints Calculator
Qatar Airways Privilege Club awards Qpoints per flight based on your booking class, with premium cabins earning more — a Business Elite fare earns tens of Qpoints where Economy Lite earns single figures. Qpoints are the sole currency for reaching Silver, Gold and Platinum.
Enter your route and cabin below for the Qpoints figure. Own-metal figures are verified against Qatar Airways' official Qcalculator (August 2026); partner figures are verified for BA, Iberia, Cathay Pacific, American and Finnair flights.

Privilege Club status tiers
| Tier | Qpoints required from zero |
|---|---|
| Silver | 150 |
| Gold | 300 |
| Platinum | 600 |
Qualification thresholds shown, read at source 8 August 2026: Silver 150 / Gold 300 / Platinum 600 Qpoints within any 12-month period. Retention is lower — 135 / 270 / 540 over 12 months, or 270 / 540 / 1,080 over 24. If a tier is not retained it drops one level (or to Burgundy after 24 months of inactivity). Renewal additionally requires at least 20% of Qpoints — or 4 sectors in 12 months / 8 in 24 — on Qatar Airways operated AND marketed flights (T&Cs §4.4, July 2026 revision). Qpoints are always awarded on the MARKETING carrier's booking class and the purchased fare, not the flown cabin (§7.1–7.2).
Frequently asked questions
- How are Qpoints calculated?
- Qpoints are a small fixed award per flight, set by your booking class — not by what you paid, and not by your membership tier (your tier changes your Avios, never your Qpoints). They do step up across a handful of distance bands rather than scaling with the miles flown, so a long-haul Business sector earns somewhat more than a short one in the same class but nothing like proportionally. Our figures are verified against Qatar Airways' official Qcalculator.
- How many Qpoints do I need for each tier?
- The ladder below shows the qualification thresholds for Silver, Gold and Platinum, read at source in August 2026. Qatar Airways counts Qpoints over any rolling 12-month period rather than a fixed membership year, and retention is set lower than qualification — a tier you fail to retain drops one level rather than resetting to Burgundy. Avios are the spending currency and do not count toward status.
- Do Oneworld partner flights earn Qpoints?
- Yes — but only flights marketed and operated by Qatar Airways or a Oneworld airline earn Qpoints; other Privilege Club partners earn Avios only. Partner Qpoints are also small fixed per-flight awards, generally a little lower than Qatar Airways' own. On codeshares, Qpoints follow the MARKETING carrier's booking class and the fare you purchased, not the cabin you fly (Privilege Club T&Cs, July 2026). Enter the operating carrier in the calculator to check a specific flight.
- Is there a Qatar Airways flying requirement for renewal?
- Yes. On top of the Qpoints threshold, renewing a tier requires at least 20% of your Qpoints — or four sectors in twelve months (eight in twenty-four) — to come from flights both operated and marketed by Qatar Airways. A member can hold enough Qpoints from partner flying alone and still fail renewal.
