Parnel, welcome to FT!
The double Q-miles reference is to a targetted promotion run last year. It sounds like the double-miles "Waves" promotion was supposed to be double-Q-miles for those targetted, but in fact what happened was they got triple miles (base Q-miles, bonus Waves miles, targetted Q-miles), and now AC is taking back the extra non-Q-miles.
