The idea of using frequent flier miles to get an upgrade on your flight, to get access to a specific lounge on an airport, and to utilize these miles to obtain a ticket for a flight are all regular practices, one that almost every frequent flier has at some point or another reaped its benefits. So this is good news for all frequent fliers. Qatar airways and HBL has come together to provide an opportunity to frequent fliers to obtain more benefits and services from their collected miles if using this new credit card.
This card was revealed on 27th September 2018 in Mohatta Palace, Karachi at an event which was attended by a number of high ranking officials on both sides and some select few customers from both parties as well. These high ranking officials included Sultan Ali Allana Chairman, HBL, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker, Muhammad Aurangzeb President & CEO, HBL, Jacob Garlan Miller Vice President CRM and Customer Loyalty, Qatar Airways and Ish Jalal Vice President Commercial – Middle East & Pakistan, Qatar Airways.
So the basic conversion rate is 1Qmile for local currency spending of Rs. 100 and with this it is necessary to mention these cards are available in Platinum and Gold.
According to one source there are numerous benefits of getting this new credit card such as annual redemption discount on accumulating Qmiles, fast track privilege Club membership tier upgrade, enjoy free access to CIP airport lounges across Pakistan for international flights, exciting dining and lifestyle discounts at 150+ partners locally and globally, and more
