The card offers 4x points per dollar spent on eligible dining and airfare, 3x points on hotels, cruise lines, tours and travel agencies, and 2x points on car rentals, taxi and rideshare purchases.

Qatar Airways, the world-renowned airline, has announced its plans to relocate its New York operations to the newly constructed Terminal One at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in 2026. This strategic move is part of a broader transformation of JFK Airport, aimed at enhancing its status as a global gateway [1].

The new Terminal One, scheduled for completion in 2030, is part of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's $19 billion transformation plan. Qatar Airways will introduce its first dedicated lounge in the United States, spanning 15,000 square feet, to offer premium amenities such as VIP check-in, relaxation zones, and duty-free shopping for Business Class passengers [1].

The airline's decision to partner with the New Terminal One reflects its commitment to delivering an exceptional travel experience and underscores the strategic importance of New York City within its global network [1].
