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.

For more information on flying Qatar Airways, visit the FT forum: Qatar Airways | Privilege Club. This thread in that forum is especially useful: Qatar Airways Forum Dashboard.

This wikipost is intended to help us better understand if there are any trends (by route, travel date, and/or held/ticketed status) in these cancellations. In all entries, please include: outbound or inbound departure date, origin-destination, original ticket status (only *if* "Held" or "Ticketed after Hold"), and current ticket status only *if* your ticket was cancelled ("Cancelled" or "Cancelled & Reinstated").

Got in on one to FRA at $635 which is amazing.

Base Fare is zero which kinda worries me though. Layover on the way there is brutal... over 8h! I think I might actually spring for a transit hotel since there is another FRA flight before that and no way QR will approve a stopover package.

There is no reason why they should. It's an EF (based on 0 base fare) and only purchased means ticketed and confirmed.

Anyone who has a fare held should try and purchase it asap.

10 minutes ago I was seeing several dates still available on Google - settled on dates, went to book, now zero availability. Missed out on this one, would have jumped on it.

Great find - thanks for posting! Managed to get something on hold. Could be a great adventure.

For those still looking there seems to be better availability left ex HAN

Correct, more inventory is left out of HAN to destinations not mentioned yet in this thread. Recommend using ITA and then pricing it from there...

It'll take years before much of the fleet is converted so only prime routes will get the new cabins over the next few months.

Bolded for emphasis -- try originating from HAN, many dates/cities still available.
