Not upgraded to Silver tier - 160 points earned!
I have earned 160 qpoints in my Privilege Club membership. However, the system still classifies me as a Burgundy member as opposed to a Silver member.
I have already sent them an e-mail regarding this and awaiting their response. Has any one experienced this in the past? I am not happy about having to chase the airline to get my privileges....... I could have taken my last flight with EK and became gold rather than silver with QR

To reach Silver status, you must have 150 Qpoints AND at least 20%=30 of these Qpoints earned with QR flights (or have flown at least 4 QR flights). These flights must be either marketed or operated by QR which means any code share is ok. You can use the Tier Calculator to check if you meet these requirements and in that case they will favorably answer your request in a few days and grant you Silver status :-)

This is ridiculous and unfair. I could have easily earned gold with Skywards rather than aim for silver for Privilege Club.....
Is this how I am rewarded for my loyalty to OneWorld alliance?

Not really unfair . Most FP programs require some earnings on their own metal to gain status .

aceboy44 The rules regarding tier upgrade are to be found on http://www.qatarairways.com/sites/Pr...nts%20new.page .
To qualify for a tier upgrade then either 4 sectors or 20% of your Qpoints must have been on QR operated flights OR codeshare flights where the QR flight number is used on your ticket.

Wasn't he sticking with Kuwait Airways or something? And earned 160 Qpoints; which means he must've completed two long haul trips or a bunch of short haul hops.

I have earned my points by oneworld alliance (CX, RJ, and UL flights.) Does that mean that I'm not entitled for silver status?
