QR Business Promo R Class MPC Club Points Accrual?
I might get flamed for asking this on this board, but I think putting it in the CX section makes most sense (Moderators: Please change the location of my entry if this is not the right forum).
Does anybody know whether the currently available business promo fare (R class) on QR is eligible to earn MPC Club Points and Asiamiles?

Based on that chart, it seems an R fare on QR isn't eligible for Asia Miles.
Looking at the BA chart, it also looks like R fares don't earn miles.

I recently booked an excellent QR fare from MNL-JFK which turned out to be "R" class. Thing is, in the past year or so, I used to buy during the bi-annual QR sale and I always used to get MPO/Asia Miles credit for those flights. (Same price, but used to be booking class "I") So this is turning out to be an unpleasant surprise.
Am hoping there will be changes to the earning chart soon -- after all, the price, while discounted, is still higher than CX's "E" or "R" fares to JFK. It should earn slightly more than Premium economy, at least?
But if not, this is making me rethink going for QR Privilege Club instead, where "R" class still earns same as "I". A tough call, though, after 24 years MPO...

Airlines mileage will always flavor those that credit to their own airline's ffp.

Ok - Called MPC and they have confirmed that they follow whats on the table. As no R class on the table for QR, then no accrual. Incidentally, R class on QR also do not accrual Qmiles, so I guess its only fair that MPC/Asiamiles follow suite.

Might be a good sign that we will be able to earn Asia miles for these fares soon.
