Avios Queries

[Viper6]

1. I have 2951 Avios points and when I log in to the Qatar website it says I have unlocked 'Qatar Duty Free' with these points. Do they have any value in QAR? Can I use those points to redeem at duty free to buy something and if the balance is more, pay that with credit card?

2. Are you able to pool your Avios points into one family account with Qatar? I believe you could do this with Qpoints?

You can use Avios to buy things at Hamad International Airport duty free and at Oryx Galleria in Doha. I don't know about combining credit card, sorry.

EDIT: Last time I priced something at DOH duty free (a camera, I think), it was more expensive than Australian retail.

I think alcohol, ciggies and cologne are cheaper at DOHA airport than Oz. However, if you want you can always finder cheaper deals online.
