Since I personally circled back around to this topic post-holidays, I thought I'd let everyone know: I still have three fully credited flight segments from QR travel on my AS account, while my fourth and final segment flown on QR continues to appear wonky in my Alaska mileage earnings.
I flew in November/December 2022, and it has been about seven weeks total from departure (five weeks and a few days from our return.)
Writing to Alaska customer service seems to have gotten me base miles as a credit, but my paid J ticket *should* have resulted in 125% elite status miles according to the website. My outbound and return flights were not booked in different classes.
Itemized on Alaska's website, my mileage activity earnings suggest I had an "invalid flight number" between Doha and New England. I didn't walk back from Doha, Qatar to the USA, so that is patent nonsense.
Does anyone know if this is worth following up in any particular way, to perhaps get a better outcome?
For anyone who didn't notice my earlier posts, I thought we would fly TK from the NE USA to Asia, on tickets booked many months ahead, but their (TK's) software obliterated my planned itinerary in the most spectacular way I've ever experienced. (One segment left on record out of four originally booked.) So we rebooked on QR literally a week ahead of our trip, and we were happily able to travel and return as scheduled with the new airline... but, without earning miles as implied by Alaska, perhaps.
I had a magnificent trip, and Qatar Airways was really wonderful to fly with, but I'm not sure the actual miles flown are being credited as they should be expected to do.
Drop it, or become a squeaky wheel?
