However, this only makes financial sense if you are close \u2014 not buying up to the next tier. Paying $225 if you're 15 Qpoints short might make sense, given the benefits you'll receive over the next year. However, paying $2,025 for 135 Qpoints (the difference between Silver and Gold status) probably isn't worth it.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Our_Take\">Our Take<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Is Qatar Airways having problems with the number of elites in its program?

Although considering the high cost, you can decide if that is a worthwhile use of your cash or not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related content:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/qatar-privilege-club\/\" rel=\"noopener\">A New Look at Qatar Airways Privilege Club as Per Segment Fees Return<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/news\/airlines\/qatar-airways-peak-pricing\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Qatar Airways Privilege Club Awards Cost 20% More on Peak Days.
