Are you seeking a quick route to top-tier frequent flyer status with Qatar Airways and the broader Oneworld alliance? If you’re an Accor Live Limitless (ALL) member, you might be closer than you think.
Thanks to a strategic partnership between Qatar Airways and the Accor hotel group, ALL members can fast-track their way to Qatar Airways Privilege Club elite status by taking just one paid Qatar Airways flight—yes, even an economy flight qualifies.
How It Works
Accor ALL members can link their accounts with Qatar Airways Privilege Club to take advantage of this offer. Depending on your ALL status, here’s what you could unlock:
- ALL Gold → Privilege Club Silver (Oneworld Ruby)
Benefits include a modest luggage allowance boost but limited travel perks. - ALL Platinum → Privilege Club Gold (Oneworld Sapphire)
Unlocks access to Oneworld business class lounges, including Qatar Airways’ frequent flyer lounges in Doha and London. - ALL Diamond → Privilege Club Platinum (Oneworld Emerald)
Enjoy first-class lounge access across the Oneworld network, including Qatar Airways’ Al Safwa First Lounge in Doha (when flying business class).
Additionally, Privilege Club Gold and Platinum tiers offer reciprocal perks with Virgin Australia, such as domestic lounge access.
Earn More with Crossover Rewards
The partnership also offers earning opportunities for both flights and hotel stays:
- Earn up to 1 Avios per €1 spent at participating Accor hotels (adjusted rates for ibis, Adagio, and Mama Shelter brands).
- Accor ALL members earn 1 point per $2 USD on Qatar Airways flights, provided the flight is marketed and operated by Qatar Airways and credited to Privilege Club.
Key Details
- To qualify for the fast track, you must take a paid flight with Qatar Airways.
- The program has limited slots, with fast-track upgrades reportedly capped at a few thousand for Gold and even fewer for Platinum.
- If your ALL account is linked to another airline loyalty program (e.g., Air France-KLM Flying Blue or Qantas Frequent Flyer), you must wait 12 months before connecting with Qatar Airways unless you move between continents.
Why It’s Worth Considering
This partnership allows Accor ALL members to achieve meaningful travel perks with minimal effort. While lower tiers like Privilege Club Silver offer limited benefits, the jump to Gold or Platinum opens doors to premium experiences across the Oneworld network.
