Any thoughts on whether this is likely an oversight, or will I really not get any 'Club Points'? They just changed the system two weeks ago, so it would have been a logical time to include R in the point earning charts.
Update: as zzz997 reports below, the above post is now incorrect, and the miles post as other business class fares.

Or maybe I should have simply remained quiet about it - just in case someone wants to report this "mistake" to QR or BA.

But what about Asia Miles / Marco Polo? It's really odd, as the Asia Miles page specifically says that Qatar R class earns 125% of miles. The Marco Polo 'Club Points' grid and calculator still makes no mention of R.

R class now included in the grid and earn same miles & pointw as other Business class booking sub-class.

Help needed please!
I recently purchased an R ticket but unfortunately my dad requires immediate operation on the departure date. I gave QR a call about changing the ticket (and have expected to pay a fee.) However, I was told that the change would put me into a B fare. I inquired if that is Economy or Business but the telephone agent can't give me a definitive answer. I then asked if I could change it to I or anything higher in Business but it seems the system would not allow. Changes to R could becomes B.
Does anyone have any experience? Thanks

Looking up booking class on past booking
Hello,
Is there a way to look up booking class on a booking that has already been flown?
I have the PNR and the e-ticket details. Unfortunately the booking confirmation I received from the travel agent only shows 'business' and 'first' and not the actual booking class.
The reason I ask is that only half of the flights on the booking credited to BAEC.
Thanks for your help
