The routes we track book through Qatar Airways Privilege Club Avios, which Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, Capital One Miles, Citi ThankYou Points, Bilt Points points can transfer into. Starting from zero, the planner's fastest two cards for this trip are the Chase Sapphire Preferred and the American Express Gold Card. Transfers are one way, so confirm award space before you move points.

Award calendars typically open about 11 months (roughly 330 days) before departure, and partner saver seats go first. For a Sep 2027 trip that means searching from Oct 2026; the plan works backward from that date so your points land before the window opens.
