More rewards with Himyan cards
In a pioneering collaboration with Qatar Central Bank, Privilege Club is extending loyalty beyond travel to everyday spending through Himyan, the first national pre-paid card in Qatar.

Himyan cardholders can now collect 1 Avios for every QAR 8 spent using their cards on online or point-of-sale transactions. The cardholders will also benefit from Card-Linked Offers, whereby they will collect even more Avios for purchases with linked Himyan cards at participating Privilege Club partner outlets, including retail, dining, entertainment, lifestyle, and other diverse venues across Qatar.
