Qatar Airways Restricts Award Bookings For Others With Absurd New Rule (opens in new tab)

Qatar Airways Privilege Club has just added new restrictions regarding who you can redeem your Avios for. Essentially, you have to create a list of potential nominees who you can redeem your rewards for. While I can on the surface understand the value of this in terms of preventing fraud and bartering of rewards, the execution leaves a lot to be desired, and there’s one rule that will lock many people out of being able to redeem.
