As long as you link your accounts, you’ll be able to see both your BA or Qatar Airways balances in either account. You can do so here

Main Cast: 

Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.

Supporting Cast:

Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on. 

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.

If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex℠and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners

    It says American Express is included. Does this mean Amex Membership Rewards count too?

    • Miles June 5, 2022

      Qatar isn’t a transfer partner of Amex in the US, so it’d be reserved for accounts that have Qatar as a transfer partner

    You don’t say if they are transferable within Avios to BA, Iberia or Aer Lingus Avios as other Avios are.

    • Miles June 3, 2022

      I don’t know why they wouldn’t be
