Qatar Airways Privilege Club Partners with Delivery App Snoonu
Qatar Airways Privilege Club has entered into a new partnership with the Qatari technology company, Snoonu. This collaboration allows Privilege Club members to earn and spend Avios by placing orders through Snoonu using a Visa credit card linked to their account. The initiative aims to expand the ways in which members can utilize their Avios points, integrating their usage into everyday spending practices.
Under the new scheme, club members will earn one Avios for every QAR3 (approximately US$0.82) spent on Snoonu orders, provided they meet a minimum spend threshold of QAR150 (approximately US$41). Members also have the option to spend their Avios on purchases made through Snoonu by downloading the Qatar Airways mobile application and processing payments with a linked card. Upon transaction completion, members will receive a notification to choose whether to collect or spend Avios, with cashback provided if they opt to spend.
This partnership enhances the versatility of the Avios program, allowing members to utilize points not just on Snoonu deliveries, but also on other rewards such as flights, upgrades, hotel stays, car rentals, and purchases at over 900 locations included in the Card-Linked Offers platform.
Thomas Vadakedath, Senior Vice President of Loyalty at Qatar Airways, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, saying, “Our commitment to the local market continues to be a priority, ensuring that we provide Privilege Club members in Qatar with benefits that enhance their everyday experiences. As people continue to favor delivery apps for their groceries, pharmacy products, food, flowers, and gifts, we are delighted to collaborate with a leading local delivery service, Snoonu.”
Sabina Abuova, Chief Marketing Officer at Snoonu, commented, “This partnership with Qatar Airways Privilege Club marks an exciting new chapter for Snoonu and our customers. We are thrilled to offer our users the opportunity to earn and spend Avios on every order, turning everyday purchases into rewarding experiences.”
The Card-Linked Offers platform, which launched in 2023, facilitates the integration of Avios within members’ day-to-day expenditures. It allows payment cardholders, including those with cards registered on platforms such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay, to link their cards to their Privilege Club accounts, thus enabling Avios collection and spending across a broad range of retail and lifestyle partners.
