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.

I might need some guidance here:
. Booked right away and ¨paid¨ with the Chase Ink. (Working down the signup bonus!)
. Got one e-mail asking for passport and paid credit card statement. (Not sure the paid piece since it was posting as ¨pending¨ in the chase webpage).
. Submitted my answer and got a second e-mail reminding me to answer the first one.
. Submitted again and uploaded a case in QR system.
. Now I do not see the charge at all in the Chase pending - posted charges and when trying to access qatarairways.com get the following:
Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://www.qatarairways.com/" on this server.
Anybody in a similar plane/boat?
Much appreciated, S.-

Just a quick update on my case (SGN-DOH-JFK rt DEC/JAN on-hold, paid, card charged, confirmed w/o e-ticket before being cancelled.) I called them today and they said they have already refunded me on the same day payment was made. Called the bank and they say they have yet to receive any refund. No replies yet for my email to e-commerce dept. Is there anyone with the same condition already received the refund?

Think of it is as more of a "this ticket is non-refundable* in case you no-show, but can be changed for a no-show fee (that's more then the ticket).

For those ending in HAN, via the DOH > BKK > HAN flight sold as a through flight (i.e. there's no BKK > HAN flight in your PNR, just a DOH > HAN flight), what are your thoughts about bailing on the ticket in BKK?

I called reservation office, they said there's no middle initial on my ticket. I told that I am seeing H, she said it means (card) Holder. I asked if that is fine, she said yes.
Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

Asking this since I haven't seen it addressed yet in this thread and others may be in a similar position -- will QR allow you to board the flight from DOH-SGN without a valid visa if you are making a quick-turn at SGN?
I booked two RT flights - one with a 5 day stay in SGN and the other with a quick-turn a few hours later. I'm assuming that I can just visit the transit desk and stay in the transit area, but my question is whether or not QR will allow me to board the flight. Outbound and return are on separate PNR's.
The eVisa process for Americans was very straightforward (applied and received), but only a single-entry option is available and would thus be invalid following my first trip.

If your "quick turn" is actually onto a different, separate ticket - even if it is operated by the same airline - then you should comply with the necessary immigration rules as if you were going to enter the country, even if that is not your intention.

However, when searching flights during the sale period, I noted some flights had long (7-11 hour) periods from the time the flight arrives and departs BKK, and in that case, I'm sure they'd offload the entire plane without checking boarding passes.
