ms1 When did you fly your first QR flight? Somehow I only got upgraded to Privilege Club Gold, despite being ALL Diamond. Trying to understand why this happened.
The upgrade for me happened about 2 hours after my first flight landed, or 3 hours after boarding.

I didn't notice any quota in T&C. That would be unacceptable, in my opinion.

Oh, that's terrible. This mini project seems to be dead in the water before it begins on my part.

Extremely disappointed by the quota.
Edit: I just called Accor to clarify and ask if the quota had been reached already for Diamond customers and if so, if the quota was back to 0 on Jan 1st.
Will update when I get the reply.

When they get back to you, could you ask how the Qatar Silver quota is looking in terms of Accor Gold members being given that status? I fly on Thursday and would love to use the lounge when I get to Qatar since I have a 9-hour layover.

This is seriously a disaster. I will do absolutely nothing with Gold or Silver as I have higher oneworld status already. I feel stupid not reading the terms more carefully but seriously 175 available challenges should never have even been released to public.

I just went to QA T&C and absolutely no quota whatsoever mentioned there. So we're good.

Section 9.6 & 9.7
I can't believe Accor customer service isn't even aware of this.

Really? I can absolutely believe it. It's par for the course for CS at Accor to be less than helpful and unaware of how things work. I think most people on FlyerTalk have more training and knowledge of processes than those in Accor CS.

I just got QR silver despite being ALL Diamond -- this is utterly useless. I will never credit anything to QR programme again, will stick to BA as i have previously done. THis is all bait and switch

WOW! That is awful! I image that since you've been 'credited' with SILVER status, you would not be eligible for a similar promotion in the future.
