I just did the math, and cancelling all my (and my wife's) tickets and rebooking everything would cost me a total of $1140, but the 4x bonus would give us a total of 85000 bonus miles and bump us up to platinum, not to mention the 40% off coupon for award redemption.
WORTH IT?
WORTH IT?
But be sure to be eligible to the offer first

I also had no register button. Wrote through the contact center and they confirmed registration within 24 hours.
This looks rather obscenely generous (perhaps just my travel pattern). I have 8 segments this month--so guaranteed 3x miles AND qualification points? There's gold sorted and close to Plat

Which is why I'm really annoyed that I already booked travel (for which the prices have risen) and upgraded it with QCredits >_<
This would've made it almost easy to requalify as plat even with my limited 4 segments earning double miles.
Now I don't really have any time to travel before the offer ends. Oh well, here's hoping they run something similar near the summer. I mean they've been pretty generous with the offers (Globetrotter, 3x QMiles etc)

Appreciate any suggestions. Received the offer. Tempted to do a MR to earn enough Qpoints (3X) to renew Plat. Tier Review date is 04 April 2016. Given the T&Cs state the bonus Qpoints and Qmiles would be credited within 30 days of travel.
,,,Bonus Qmiles and Qpoints will be credited within 30 days from end of the travel period
and that, ,., In case of retro claims, the bonus rule will still apply and bonus Qmiles will be credited automatically. Retro claims will not be considered after the offer period.
. Should I consider to ensure my MR travel completes some days before 04 April?
Secondly. anyone with experience to share about Qpoints posting as part of an offer (after Tier review date) and being retro credited to tier renewal?

Anyway, you'd better go down to Gold (on 4th April) and get 40 Qcredits and then go back to Platinum (on 15th May) and get 60 more Qcredits : you will earn a total of 100 Qcredits instead of only 60 Qcredits when renewing Platinum. You just need a bit more Qpoints than for a simple Platinum status renewing but with x3 or x4 (if you travel via DOH, you can select flights with a long layover in DOH and fly more legs having 1 or 2 short return flights like DOH-DXB before flying the second leg of your main flight) it should not be problem.

Bonus Qpoints will be credited within 30 days from end of the travel period probably means 15th May (30 days after 15th April which is the end of the travel period for that offer), not 30 days after your (own travel period) last flight.

I thought (no personal experience yet) that you once you have enough QPoints for Gold, you get the QCredits, even as a Plat

I am based in IAH on their program, but currently flying out of NRT most of the time... wont be flying with them for a while, but I got the 3X offer from EY which I do believe is in retaliation to the QR 4X Offer...
I was Gold downgraded to silver in QR.
