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.

gone?
seems gone ;-(
Weird that the fare breakdown is $0 for the actual fare, then the rest are various fees and surcharges. When booking on the QR site it shows as a Golden Ticket, seems to be six seats allocated on each flight between SGN-DOH-SGN. Obviously there's not much demand for J paid between those cities so QR is flying planes with empty front cabins...this is an incentive to put people into those seats.

If you have some time and want to be entertained, you can check the FT Premium Fares thread, the site mentioned above, the sites of the usual collection of bloggers and a few others, where you may notice a pattern of repeat posting.
It's as if they've all run out of things to post on some days. Hard to believe given all the fun things pax do onboard flights these days.
IMHO, the value is how current these fares are, are they bookable, and also if the bloggers or other sites have also offered a breakdown with screen shots and perhaps what earnings might be on various airlines where the fare is available.
However, it's great that the OP gave credit.
