Marriott has long offered members the ability to convert points into airline miles. Recently, they introduced a two-way conversion option with select airlines, including Qatar Airways.
The two-way conversion allows Qatar Airways Privilege Club members and Marriott Bonvoy members to exchange Avios and Marriott Bonvoy points for interchangeable ones. Let’s take a closer look.

How it works
Members must have valid accounts in both programs.
Account Linking
Members must link their Privilege Club account with their Marriott Bonvoy account for conversions.
▪ Link your Privilege Club and Marriott Bonvoy accounts.
▪ Log in to your account and select the number of points to convert.
▪ Redeem your rewards.
Accounts can only be unlinked twice per calendar year.
Processing Time
- Converted Avios or points may take up to eight weeks to reflect in the receiving account.
- Once the conversion is initiated, it cannot be canceled or refunded.
How to Use the Benefits
- For travelers: Redeem convertible points to book flights, stay at Marriott hotels, or get other loyalty rewards.
- For business: Take advantage of flexible redemption options for corporate travel or executive hotel stays.
Conclusions
Remember, you can seamlessly transfer Avios between British Airways and Qatar Airways by connecting your Privilege Club accounts. Furthermore, Avios can be moved at no cost when you link your British Airways accounts with Finnair and Iberia.
This means you can route Avios from British Airways, Iberia, and Finnair through BA to Qatar Airways, enabling conversion into Marriott Bonvoy points.
