Privilege club members also gain a bonus of 10,000 Qmiles through the referral programme for both member and referred friend to enjoy golfing together at ECGC. The partnership includes corporate membership’s packages that will obtain 40,000 Qmiles upon registering. Privilege Club members and companies will get to enjoy an opportunity to form a new recreational activity in the sports sector, with a new experience at the state of the art golf course while earning Qmiles.
Qatar Airways Vice President CRM and Loyalty Jake Miller said: “We are very excited to reward our Privilege Club members, with accumulating Qmiles through our partnership with the new Education City Golf Club. I’ve loved golf since I was 12 years old and I am awestruck by these stunning courses and practice facilities right here in Doha. As golfers, both experienced and new, discover Education City, these facilities will undoubtedly earn a world-class reputation, worthy of a stopover in and of themselves. Privilege Club is proud to partner our miles with sport to encourage our customers to get out and enjoy all that Doha has to offer.”
Education City Golf Club General Manager Michael Braidwood said: “Education City Golf Club is pleased to partner with Privilege Club to encourage locals and residents to experience our golf course at Education City. We are dedicated to providing our customers with an enhanced golfing experience and the partnership with Privilege Club members is of added value to our customer base. Privilege Club members can choose from signing up the ECGC experience for membership packages or one day pass for lessons.”
Privilege Club launched in 2000 as a form of appreciation to its loyal passengers, offering them the opportunity to earn Qmiles when travelling on Qatar Airways, oneworld® airlines, or any of the airlines’ partners. Qmiles has since served as another convenient means of payment at the award-winning Qatar Duty Free outlets, located in both the departure and arrival halls of Hamad International Airport, and at Oryx Galleria in Doha.
