Unused Miles - what to do?
Hi Folks, I Have 15,436 Q Miles and due to a change of residence I am unlikely to use QR in the future. I now fly BA (OneWorld) and wondered if there is a way to transfer the miles. Or another way to use them other than book a reward through BA
Thanks in advance for any tips. Robin

You can transfer Qmiles to other PC members.

Is there a fixed rate of exchange for this?

As per website: "The number of Qmiles required for a product at Qatar Duty Free may vary depending on the current membership tier of the passenger, product category and the brand that you seek to purchase.

For details of prices in Qmiles, please visit Qatar Duty Free located at the departures and arrivals areas of Hamad International Airport. The Qatar Duty Free staff will be more than happy to assist you and provide the price information."

This seems true as I can't find a pattern when I was window shopping last time using QMiles.
