I've gifted Gold status to a friend. How long will it update that they have gold status? Thanks!
Instantly (ie in couple of minutes) at least in my case.

Yah that's what I thought too and my first experience gifting Gold. But this time agent said up to 1 week. Is true?

I did it online but the next day my friend said her account is still basic.
So I called a US agent and he said it can take up to one week for the account to be updated to Gold. Which didn't make sense to me because previously when I gifted gold status, it was automatic.

Friend of mine (AY Silver) upgraded his Value BKK-HEL ticket with points and received:


16800 award points
16800 tier points

I really dont understand why.

8000 x 1,10=8800 and then + mysterious double long haul 8000 points but why tier is also 16800?

I said my friend that I need his AY number so I will ask this in AY Chat and he'll get right points. He said NO!

It should say next to credit what the class was... maybe friend was upgraded to business booking code accidentally?

Missing credit request

Hi guys, sorry for the stupid question
I took a flight in C with QR on 24sep and after it didn't show up (it was the only segment that didn't), I made a missing credit request on 08oct ie two weeks later, and the flight was listed in the transactions list with an asterisk. I logged in again today and the flight was gone, no "validation failed", nothing - just gone...
Does anyone have an idea what this could be related to? Or should I message CS?
Kiitos

I think it just wasn't confirmed by Qatar and thus disappeared. Try CS, they might help. Don't know if going straight to Qatar would do anything.

As a data point: Just gifted a gold card to my friend online, and he got the status immediately.

actually, CS said that it disappeared because it was „being added“ – 2 hours later, it was in my transactions list. Finnair‘s IT is lovably weird at times.

Does the extra baggage benefit for tier members apply for member only or the whole booking?
