- Qpoints purchased shall count towards the minimum activity required within a membership year to qualify for tier retention or upgrade, i.e. you will need to have earned at least 20% of your Qpoints or have flown 4 sectors (within 12 months prior to retention) on flights either marketed and operated by Qatar Airways.
Marketed refers to the airline whose flight number is specified on your booking. Operated refers to the airline you are flying on.

- Purchase of Qpoints is available online only.
- Cost per Qpoint is US$25.
- Platinum, Gold and Silver members can buy Qpoints to retain their tier.

- Members can only make a one-time purchase of Qpoints in 36 months. For example, as a Burgundy member, the Qpoints purchase limit for an upgrade to Silver tier is 40 Qpoints. If you buy 5 Qpoints, you will not be able to return to buy the balance of 35 Qpoints. You would only be able to buy Qpoints again after 36 months. Therefore, you need to be sure of the number of Qpoints required before initiating a purchase transaction.
