This redemption prices at 78,000 Qmiles for a one-way business class ticket from JFK to CDG. The route typically costs around 100,000 miles through Qatar Privilege Club, making this a solid 22,000-mile savings.

Qatar's Privilege Club program transfers from Amex Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Citi ThankYou at a 1:1 ratio. If you need to move points over, keep in mind that transfers to Qatar are typically instant from Amex but can take longer from other programs. Given the single seat, you'll want to confirm availability on the Qatar site before initiating any transfers.
