Original premium fare deal was for QR J class travel, originating in Vietnam (SGN and HAN) to several destinations across the Americas, Europe, and Africa. Travel period 8/2017 - 3/2018 inclusive, RT fares in the USD 500 - 700 range (USD $0.05 base fare).
Reports have now been circulating that all held, non-purchased fares have been canceled by the airline. Some held and then purchased fares were also canceled, but several reports indicate at least some of those have been re-instated.

If lots of people get emails that their tickets are suspended, it could be commercial/economic warfare...

Acted in good faith.
Qatar issues Tweet about new J promotion
Qatar releases golden tickets (they have done golden tickets in past on a few occasions, working the exact same way (i.e. one city that you have to find has deals to multiple destinations).
Tickets had full fare rules etc on them, it isn't some kind of test fare that shouldnt be booked.
I'd say the combination of actions from Qatar means we purchased these in good faith. I expect they are honored. It should be an easy small claims win if they don't.

Interesting to see the outcome of this and how QR handles it.

Just fyi:
Note: Fares quoted when selecting Hold My Booking are only guaranteed for offline payment when purchased at a Qatar Airways office in the country of first departure and when paid in the currency quoted on the booking confirmation. Qatar Airways reserves the right to apply a surcharge or re-price the booking if payment is being made in any other country or another currency.

Just purchased both and they remained at the $672 level. All of a sudden I might actually be able to maintain ExPlat.

On a side note, it probably doesn't help when Lucky et al are now blogging/bragging about it a la 'Look what I just booked'. Why can't they just leave this alone until the dust settles and instead rub it in?
