The Privilege Club Collection
In this article:
We can say that this is the first bombshell of 2024, although perhaps it would be better to say it is the fireworks salute to 2023.
The system is not much different from what other loyalty programs such as Emirates or Marriott, for some events you will be able to buy using a predetermined amount of Avios points, but for others you will have to compete to bid the most.
What's on offer in the Privilege Club Collection
At the moment for Italian customers there is little, although all experiences are bookable by everyone thus opening up the possibility for an Italian user to win tickets to London concerts or PSG matches.
Currently there are two proposals related to Inter, Two games that could decide the 2023/24 Scudetto. The matches with Juventus (Feb. 4) and Napoli (March 17). The VIP package includes access to the Club l'Orologio lounge, and two category 1 tickets i.e. the red grandstand at San Siro.

Other published, bookable events include, there are concerts at the O2 Arena in London by Depeche Mode, Jonas Brother and Liam Gallagher. The NBA with Brooklyn Nets games, those of the PSG in Paris, Rugby and more.
How it works
It is obviously need to be enrolled in Qatar's loyalty program, to participate, and thus buy or bid, you must have Avios on a Qatar Privilege Club account. Since last year it has been possible to combine British, Iberia and Qatar accounts, and this is a great advantage for those interested in these experiences.
Points cannot be moved Membership Rewards in Qatar Avios points, but you can move to British and then merge the profiles.
Important things to know
You must have enough Avios on your Qatar Privilege Club account, you will then not be able to bid more than your Avios balance current and you will not be able to set an automatic future bid above the balance.
You cannot use the entire balance of a British Airways Executive Club family account to bid on.
You can only transfer Avios in your personal account to your Qatar Privilege Club account. For example, if you own 200,000 Avios and your partner has 150,000 Avios, the total family balance is 350,000 Avios. However, the maximum amount that can be used to bid in a Privilege Club Collection auction is limited to your personal balance, which is 200,000 Avios.
