Conclusion
Qatar Airways this year has made several positive changes to its Privilege Club frequent flier program (after decimating it earlier) that we have covered, such as again allowing award bookings online and no expiry of miles as long as you have any activity at least once every 36 months.
The biggest recent one was the realignment of the QMiles needed for awards on Qatar’s own flights that were in some instances almost cut in half.
If you don’t need Qmiles right now, I would wait for a bit for a better sale to surface.
