This is excellent news but (if actually correct) bound to be the subject of a Ts&Cs change imminently !!

So now we need a list of the cheapest routes which get you two badges in one.

Almost worthy of a mileage run.
If you are not resident in Denmark and Singapore you should get bonus miles

7500 from DOH - SIN
5000 from DOH - CPH

and addiitionally the regular miles for the complete trip. I cant check your calculation of 46.808 miles in total because it depends on your member level and booking class in business

Logically this should be the flight with the shortest connections to/from DOHA to the theme destinations.

The total of 46'808 miles is including 15'000 miles for SIN and 10'000 miles for CPH, as a Burgundy member. Actually I thought CPH was 10k, so the correct number is 41'808 miles.

I should had bought CPH - SIN - CPH instead of ARN.

Now want to change the tickets, and unable to do it online

Ok, i did not see you fly business. Should be ok your calculation for the miles. Not forget your travel time must be Oct. - Nov.

CPH to DXB in October for about 350euros rt. Not sure best deal for first two badges. I still don't think this credits how we are hoping.

Thats cheap if you live in denmark. Best is you ask qatar online for confirmation same i did. They confirmed to me similar trip in writing. If later they not give me the badges they must have a good explanation.

This is what concerns me most about this entire promotion. Before I invest ~$1k per person, I want to be sure I get the miles. I'm not so sure here.....

Berlin to say, Colombo can be done in June for mid 400s. So, alltogether 800euros, 100k miles+normal miles + bonuses. Again, I don't really trust this promo being honored as we understand it.

It's actually better if you live in Sweden or Norway (easy/cheap to get to CPH), since you then will get bonus miles and badges for both CPH and DXB..

I'm still not convinced this is actually true (even if support says it is), that's why I have booked conventional round-trips to all destinations. For your sake, I hope you actually get the badges/miles.

Keep us posted what happens, if bonus miles start ticking in, I might have to do some extra mileage runs...

I agreed.

so far I have booked

ARN - HKT, BKK - ARN on Jun, J
ARN - DEL - ARN on July, T
ARN - BKK, SIN -ARN on Oct, J
(plan to change it to SGN instead of BKK)
ARN - BKK - ARN on Nov, J

Tempting to jump on CPH-DXB-CPH on September as well, but I kinda of skeptical, will wait and see.

QR inconsistency scares me big time.

How about open jaws? For ex, Berlin-Doha-Madrid. Assuming both are done in the right travel period, would one get both the cultural and adventure badge?

Berlin-Doha-Madrid-Doha-Berlin, yes.
The point is you need a DOH->x to qualify for x.
x->DOH will not work.

Based on what Support is telling us.
