More rewards with Himyan cards
In a groundbreaking partnership with Qatar Central Bank, Privilege Club extends loyalty from travel to everyday spending through Himyan, the first national prepaid card in Qatar. The partnership supports Qatar’s National Vision 2030 by accelerating digital innovation and strengthening the national payments ecosystem, making rewards more accessible, seamless and locally relevant to members across Qatar.
Himyan cardholders can now collect 1 Avios for every QAR 8 spent on online or retail transactions with their card.
