Hi All, thanks for your replies. Very helpful to get other people’s two cents.

I’ve opened an enquiry with QR and they’ve asked for a screenshot of the QMiles offer email, which I’ve duly submitted.

Regarding the email header, I clicked through this to display the actual email address it was sent from (as I know I could send an email purporting to be from the White House, for example, if I wanted to).

We’ll see what QR come back with, but in the meantime I’ll be changing my password via the legit website.
