Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts and Qatar Airways have just signed an agreement over the Qatar Airways Privilege Club frequently flyer programme.

This means that frequent flyers with Qatar Airways can now also earn bonus miles when staying with the international hotel chain.

Members of the Qatar Airways Privilege Club can now collect miles not just when they're in the air but also on the ground, by staying at any one of the Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts. Each stay is rewarded with a minimum of 500 miles.

What's more, between 15 December 2004 and 15 February 2005 frequent flyer members also benefit from a triple mile bonus, with each stay rewarded with 1'500 miles.

To be eligible for the bonus miles guests simply need to book a publicised Rack Rate, a Corporate Rate with a maximum of five consecutive nights or a Weekend Rate with a minimum stay of two nights including Saturday.

Qatar Airways is already the third airline to partner Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, after the Swiss Travel Club operated by Swiss International Air Lines and Gulf Air's frequent flyer programme.
