Article: How to Use Qatar Airways Avios

With Iberia now joining the QJB it seems like Avios can be moved between all 3 programs and sets up a pretty good partnership.

Is there a direct transfer option now between Qatar & Iberia Avios?

You could already transfer from QR to BA, then BA to IB or vice versa.

That's what this post seems to suggest will happen:
  • Iberia Plus accounts will (it appears, this is not spelt out clearly) be linkable to Qatar Airways Privilege Club accounts in the same way that British Airways Executive Club accounts are at present
 
Having transferred AMEX points to Avios, does anyone know if I then transfer them to BA, whether I’m eligible for the Avios boost, as per link below? And can Avios be transferred to and from BA, or is it a one way deal?

Is it me or has Qatar drastically reduced their saver reward availability? Pretty much every day now is a Flex Award, this wasn't the case a week ago.
I've been inspecting the availability because I was thinking about transferring some points across and I've noticed the same thing. I couldn't find any non-flex business flights between europe and australia.

I hope this is temporary because otherwise it's a huge devaluation.
 
VA redemptions now available to book online with QR. Not bad value either and interestingly you are still unable to book QF redemptions (perhaps deliberately)

This is a nice development!

Unfortunately it looks like the QR website doesn't yet recognise a lot of VA destinations. E.g you can't search for flights to or from HBA or LST.

Also, the taxes & charges on VA Y awards seem unusually high. In J they're about as you would expect.
