Tailored for small and medium sized enterprises, the programme offers streamlined booking, exclusive rates, and loyalty benefits to all members. Additionally, IHG Business Edge members joining the Beyond Business programme will receive 50,000 bonus Qrewards on their first flight with Qatar Airways that can be redeemed for flights, upgrades and a range of additional benefits.
