Doubt that you will be able to use that Qcredits unless you're well-positioned, as many redemptions require more than 10 Qcredits. Gold/Plat users get a set amount to use each year, you are correct that it can be used for award bookings. You use the Qcalculator to check the prices of award bookings/upgrades via Qcredits, the same way you would if you were using Qmiles.
EDIT: Just tried myself - Qcredits can be viewed for excess baggage redemption with the new Qcalculator... maybe this feature is only available to Gold/Plat members, not entirely sure here.

I have flown with them at least three times a year to South East Asia. A mixture of economy and business. Also allocated one CE flight with BA to QR. This year I will fly 16 segments with them.

Yes, search for your flight as per normal on the QR website and then toggle the radio button (normally top right of screen) to "Use Qmiles" to check award availability.
Alternatively use BA.com if you also have a BAEC account to check standard (x1) redemptions.

Don't waste your time or miles. Redemptions are absurdly expensive. Find another OW carrier which will work for you and credit there.

Viewing Award Flight Availability
Hi,
How do I view award flight availability on Qatar Airways? After searching for the flight I want, when I click "Book using Qmiles", "On" at the top, right, I get the error "You are not eligible to perform a redemption activity. Please contact our Member Service Centre for more information."
Is there any way to view availability before transferring miles over to?

I want to book a flight with QR from KRT TO KUL then a seperate ticket on Malaysia Airlines to KCH so let's say my KRT to DOH flight is delayed since the flight time is almost double after the blockade I will miss my DOH TO KUL, what happens with my Malaysia airlines ticket should I miss the flight due to QR late arrival to KUL, I know they are separate tickets so chances it will be my fault but someone recently told me since they are one world there is some protection for misconnects or I can get a travel insurance so what happens? should I book it from a travel agency like expedia and use their travel protection or what? Sorry for the long message.

To make it cheaper,ask a brick and mortar travel agent to put the 2 separate tickets (KRT-DOH-KUL and KUL-KCH) on the same PNR, instead of buying the more expensive QR KRT-DOH-KUL-KCH fare, or just book 2 separate PNR with a very long time (>10h) between flights in KUL and/or spend a night in KL (that's what I do almost all the time, because hotels in KL and bus to/from airport are cheap).
