Qatar miles after joining oneworld
 

Hi all
Does anyone know what typically happens to the miles that are earned on Qatar Airways programme in relation to MPC? For example if my MPC membership year is June to June and QR joins oneworld by April 2014, will the miles I accumulate from QR from say June 2013 to June 2014 be transferable to CX MPC? or will it just be added to my Asia miles? or will they only count my April - June 2014 flights towards MPC assuming I sumbit my MPC number instead of the QR number.

Hope it all makes sense!
Cheers!

No expert....but I'm pretty sure only April 2014-June 2014's flights will be counted towards your MPC club miles/sector. And anything before that...would just be Asia Miles....

You almost certainly won't be able to transfer points from QR to AM, and at the moment I don't think you can even credit QR flights to AM (without earning club miles) since they're not listed as an AM partner.

Basically, count on not being able to earn anything from QR flying until flights taken after QR officially joins OW.

Honestly that would be probably the most sensible and fair approach....

You mentioned about the frequent flyer programme of Qatar Airways, whatever you earned using that account does not have any relationship with Marco Polo Club/Asia Miles. Surely, what you earn there is NOT transferable, just like any other FFPs, ie. BA Executive Club, AAdvantage etc. They remain as separate FFP accounts.

You can only earn Club Miles and Asia Miles when Qatar officially join oneworld. Though there are some rare cases where you can start earning Asia Miles if Qatar and Asia Miles begin their partnership earlier.

It seems like Qatar may join oneworld by the end of this year.:p
