Small and medium-sized enterprises across the airline’s global route network can now earn Qrewards for all business travel, redeemable for any flight at any time

BEIJING, CHINA - Media OutReach - 3 April 2019 - Qatar Airways is pleased to announce the expansion of its 'Beyond Business by Qatar Airways' corporate rewards programme to its entire network. The programme, which launched in Europe and the Americas in January 2019 and in Qatar last month, introduces a new currency, Qrewards, enabling business travellers to take advantage of a wide range of exclusive benefits.

With 'Beyond Business by Qatar Airways', small and medium-sized enterprises earn valuable Qrewards which can be redeemed on flights to any of Qatar Airways' 160+ destinations.

By progressing through three new reward tiers, Elevate, Accelerate and Ascent, customers can unlock faster earning and unique benefits, including fast track Qatar Airways Privilege Club Gold status, lounge access, and upgrades.

In celebration of the launch of the programme, Qatar Airways will offer 3,000 Qrewards for all new accounts created in Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Pakistan and Africa until 3 May 2019. Bonus Qrewards will be credited to the account within a week of qualification. Eligibility requirements can be found on the programme's website at: www.qatarairways.com/beyondbusiness
