Illustrative airline photo supplied by Qatar Airways.](https://pub-fac99da959e344fe99d810d309cef7df.r2.dev/photos/article/136ea8b3-3085-4d6e-9f87-92e81bd7bf91/417b688e890aeb8c894d163bf716193a.jpg)\n\nOctober is a busy month for anyone collecting Avios with [Qatar Airways](/airlines/qr) Privilege Club. There are three live offers right now, and the first deadline is just days away.\n\nHere is what each one does, who it suits, and when it ends.\n\n## 1. Up to 35% bonus when you move points in\n\nQatar is paying a bonus when you convert points from partner programs into Avios. According to Qatar's terms, as published by [LoyaltyLobby](https://loyaltylobby.com/2026/10/02/qatar-airways-privilege-club-15-to-35-avios-conversion-bonus-october-1-31-2026/), the offer runs from October 1 to October 31, 2026, Doha time.\n\nThe bonus depends on how many Avios you move in a single transfer:\n\n- **15%** for up to 49,999 Avios.\n- **25%** for 50,000 to 99,999 Avios.\n- **35%** for 100,000 Avios or more.\n\nThe bonus Avios should land by November 30. LoyaltyLobby lists partners including Citibank and Rove in the US, Capital on Tap in the UK, ALL Accor, IHG, World of Hyatt, Shangri-La Circle, HSBC in Qatar and the UAE, Ooredoo and QNB.\n\nThe tiers count per transaction, so one big transfer earns more than several small ones. Only move points you have a plan for. Avios do not earn interest while they sit in your account.\n\n## 2. 25% off award flights to 19 cities\n\nQatar's October Privilege Deals cut the Avios price of some award seats by 25%, [Head for Points](https://www.headforpoints.com/2026/10/08/qatar-airways-october-avios-discount-deals/) reports. You must book by October 14 and fly by November 30.\n\nThe deals are split by cabin. In business class, the cities are Amman, Ankara, Bucharest, Jeddah, Medina, Salalah, Tunis, Warsaw, Yerevan and Zanzibar. In economy, they are Casablanca, Dammam, Entebbe, Istanbul, Muscat, Nice, Sharjah, Singapore and Stockholm.\n\nHead for Points gives one example: Warsaw to Bangkok in business class for 56,250 Avios one way.\n\nA few rules matter here:\n\n- The discount does not apply to Flexi awards.\n- It does not apply to partner airline flights.\n- You cannot book these deals on ba.com, even though many Qatar awards can be booked there.\n\n## 3. 75% bonus Avios on Rocketmiles hotels\n\nThe third deal is for hotel stays. Qatar's [post on X](https://x.com/i/status/2106688887699480916) on October 4 says you can \"book eligible hotel stays on Rocketmiles by 15 Oct 2026 and collect 75% bonus Avios.\"\n\nRocketmiles is a hotel booking site that pays airline miles, in this case Avios, on stays. Before you book, compare the room rate with other sites. A bonus is only worth it if the price is close.\n\n## Which deal I'd use\n\n- **You have bank or hotel points.** The transfer bonus is the big one. A single transfer of 100,000 Avios earns 35,000 bonus Avios.\n- **You want a cheap business class trip soon.** The Privilege Deals can be strong, but only if one of the cities works for you and you can travel by November 30.\n- **You have a hotel stay coming up.** Check Rocketmiles before October 15.\n\n## Your stop in Doha\n\nIf your award routes through Doha in Qatar business class, you can use the [Al Mourjan Business Lounge (South)](/lounges/doh-al-mourjan-business-lounge-south) or [The Garden](/lounges/doh-al-mourjan-business-lounge-the-garden).
