if you are PLAT i understand you will get 4 times your class of reservation mileage

let say ARN-BKK earns 10000 in your class, you will get 30000 ( 3x ) + 10000 ( PLAT )

Hi all – I purchased flights AMS-DOH-BKK this morning in the rather good sale currently underway, travelling next October (€2300 return for two people)

I’ve just received an email from “Qatar Ecommerce Support” requesting a copy of my passport and a copy of my credit card statement. This appears to be legitimate (it includes my booking reference) but I just wanted to check whether anyone else had received anything similar?

Quite tedious but I presume I have fallen foul of some anti-fraud provision.

Hi daftboy,

I never received something like this. Do you used a classic CC ?

daftboy

I used an Amex - the account was opened within the past month so is pretty new, but otherwise it is a standard card. Possibly a relevant data point is that the card is registered in (and I live in) the UK, but the flight is from AMS.

I never tried to leave from a different city but people here do it often maybe they can provide you some info.
Maybe you just triggered some random checks from QR, ask them why

Flyiboy

Could be just a security thing. I would just call them up. I would never send a copy of my CC# or passport via email. Perhaps in person but never email. Call the UK #

Do a search and you will see that this is standard for QR. They even have a page on their website to details it and allows you to upload the needed information.

I received it last year for my first ever QR booking, same route AMS-DOH-BKK and same CC brand (Amex).

I want to work this out but it's difficult as it is 3x BASE miles.

So when you put in say, OSL-BKK in Bus as a Plat, and it says ~25k miles, you won't get 75k miles. I don't know how you find out what the base miles are. Anyone know ?

Cheers.

maybe i am not clear .
in other words you will get 3 times burgundy miles + your platinum bonus.

I was working this out also today as its not strictly 4X the fare class for plats unless youre on a full fare Y ticket. In Qcalculator select the trip as a burgundy member . Look at the miles for your ticket class and X3 then (if you are platinum) add the miles you would get for a y ticket .

Base Qmiles = Actual distance flown x Booking class Qmiles Accrual %

Tier Bonus Qmiles = Actual distance flown x Tier Bonus %

More info here:

Booking class Qmiles Accrual %

Tier Bonus %


Using our best friend the Qcalculator here ares some examples for a DOH-LHR, one way trip - which is 3,244 miles flown.



Flying Economy on an N fare
Base Qmiles = 1,622 Qmiles (50% of actual miles flown)

Flying Economy on an H fare
Base Qmiles = 2,433 Qmiles (75% of actual miles flown)

Flying Business on a C fare
Base Qmiles = 5,677 Qmiles (175% of actual miles flown)

No matter the fare
Platinum tier bonus Qmiles = 3,244 Qmiles (100% of actual miles flown)
Gold tier bonus Qmiles = 2,433 Qmiles (75% of actual miles flown)
Silver tier bonus Qmiles = 811 Qmiles (25% of actual miles flown)

So for this triple Qmiles offer a Gold member would get in total:

Flying Economy on an N fare
(3 x N fare Base Qmiles) + Gold tier bonus = (3 x 1,622) + 2433 = 7299 Qmiles

Flying Economy on an H fare
(3 x H fare Base Qmiles) + Gold tier bonus = (3 x 2433) + 2433 = 9732 Qmiles

Flying Business on a C fare
(3 x C fare Base Qmiles) + Gold tier bonus = (3 x 5677) + 2433 = 19464 Qmiles

Thank you so much for this detailed explanation! Was wondering about this myself since I just booked a LON-KUL return in O (mega cheap fare!) and was curious as to how much miles I'd be earning.

Sisyphus1carus

Thanks, that makes it nice and simple. So burgundy miles = base miles.

So total QMiles should be..... burgundy_miles x 3 +(platinum_miles - burgundy_miles)

Thanks very much to everyone who has helped me out (spoon fed) me this :-) I'm great with some things but this just bamboozled me !

100,000+ for Osl-SYD is superb.
£1200 OSL-SYD plus 100,000 miles is another return in economy somewhere nice or the majority of another business class trip to BKK or the like.
WOW !!!!

I don't really have anything I want to do in Australia but I'll find something :-)

Plenty to do over here!
Also there are many Downunder trip reports on FT - all worth a read.
