Details are scant, but what is clear is Qatar Airways is in 10 year exclusive deal with Visa. That basically tells us that there will be a variety of Qatar Airways co-branded cards hitting the streets. This move means that there will be new opportunities to earn Avios and Qatar Airways Privilege Club elite status.
Qatar Airways Privilege Club has signed a global strategic agreement with Visa, world’s leader in digital payments, part of a new 10-year exclusive partnership. This latest collaboration enables Privilege Club to enhance and expand its portfolio of co-branded payment initiatives with key financial partners across key markets worldwide.

As of today, the Qatar Airways Privilege Club offers are limited cards in just a few markets.
This new move by Qatar Airways will allow for the movement of Avios from British Airways into Qatar and vice-versa. This opens up nearly endless routes because British Airways isa transfer partner with Chase, AMEX, and Capital One.
New Prospects
The reveal of a new line of cards comes at an exciting time for the airline. Its Quite business class cabin was revolutionary for flat bed space with standard privacy doors.
“The roll-out of the Visa co-branded payment cards means members can look forward to enjoying several new features, such as complimentary worldwide airport lounge access, travel insurance, premium concierge service and much more.”
