Qatar is telling me I need to pay $125 for my stopover, want to be sure that's correct

I have received a "E-Ticket receipt" and an email-confirmation about my booking. On both confirmation the Class "N" is printed.

After i have called the telephone hotline and told them i would like to ask if possible to have an accomodation ect. because transit time is 11 hours they told me i will receive the voucher in some days by email. But i received the voucher already some hours after my phone call.

No one said i have to pay something. I also ask for a free accomodation. On the voucher there is also no indication about any price or something i have to pay for the service.

One more interesting thing is:

On the voucher they write if transit time is more than 11 hours, i wuold also receive a certain money coupon at the airport Doha which i can reedem for a meal in the hotel. Any meal in excess of the given value will be required to be paid directly by the guest.

That is the new standard it seems..
anyone can confirm that under 11 hours there's NO MORE meal voucher at all?

That's right - for stopovers less than 11 hours, no meal voucher.

NO.
you are flying QR172/QR564 but there is a shorter connection QR168/QR574.

Qatar newbie question
 
What does STPC actually stand for and how does one request it (online or by phone)?
We are flying in business (U with AA miles) ORD-DOH-CPT and have a 8 hour & 10 minutes layover. Do we even qualify for this? Are the complimentary city tours only in the daytime?
TIA

No, award flights do not qualify for STPC (not free one, you can pay QR for it ($100 or $150 per person I think, depending on the class of service).

There is a tour at 7:30p I think.

I'm paying for my flight and still paying $125... with a 21hr layover. Can't figure out why this is though.

Perhaps shorter connection is available.

Thank you.
Do I have to pre-book the city tour or just book it after arrival?

Hello,

Can somebody advise me on what hotels they typically use for J passengers for STPC and is the transfer by shuttle/bus with multiple stops on the way? It is an award reservation so I will have to pay $150 for the STPC hence am debating whether to use the STPC or just book the hotel myself. I called them and they said they cant let me know the hotel in advance for some reason.

Thanks,
MGI

The hotel is Oryx Rotana and the shuttle is only one stop.
