4x miles promotion

registered for the promotion and purchased R class ticket, will the R tickets get 4x miles? the wording is not clear ... thanks

Bonus Qmiles is calculated based on the combination of Booking Date, Flight Date, Cabin, Fare Family Purchased and Booking Channel.

From the T&Cs.
Bonus Qmiles will be earned over the base Qmiles earned on Qatar Airways flights during the offer period.
and the QR website
Number of Qmiles earned for a flight (Base Qmiles) = Distance X Qmiles Accrual % for the booking class.
Booking class R gets you 125% x flown miles. (http://www.qatarairways.com/sites/Pr...arn_chart.page )

If I'm reading this correctly, you should get 5x flown miles (4x (1,25*miles)).

ibr2008 log into your PC account and read the description of the promotion under the "my offers" tab. For example in my case it states :

Book your paid ticket for travel to any of the more than 150 places we fly to and earn double Qmiles from now until 18th January 2017 for travel between 11th January 2017 and 15th December 2017.


That’s not all, as a special gift from us; you will be eligible to earn quadruple (4x) Qmiles if you book your paid ticket during the Qatar Airways Travel Festival and travel between 11th January 2017 and 15th March 2017.

I see no reason why you wouldn't get the 4x miles. It will be fine.

Unless I have misunderstood this promotion, you get 2x (or 4x) Qmiles on the base miles, not including cabin or tier bonus.

This means for i.e. DOH-AKL in R, you will get 9'032 Qmiles + 9'032 Qmiles (2x promotion) + 2'258 Qmiles (25% Cabin Bonus) + 6'774 Qmiles (75% Tier Bonus, if you're gold).

If you have the 4x promotion, you will earn an extra 18'064 Qmiles.

I logged into my PC account and read the description of the promotion under "My Offers" tab and the description of the promotion is different from yours. Mine did not mention the dates of 11th Jan 2017 and 15th Mar 2017.

Does anyone have this similar message as mine?

I thought most had the same conditions.
4x Qmiles until 15th of March.
2x Qmiles the whole year.

That's what mine says as well.

To be eligible for this offer, select “My offers” on your dashboard menu and register for this offer before 18th January 2017.

This is (partially) incorrect. Base miles do include the bonus for cabin flown, but not the tier bonus.

Base Qmiles = Distance X Qmiles Accrual % for the booking class.

http://www.qatarairways.com/Privileg...ge?mid=4&sid=1

So for example in the case of a gold PC member flying fare R (and under the targeted x4 offer from the Travel Festival) we have:

Miles earned = (Distance x 1.25 x 4) + (Distance x 0.75)

Mine's worded as:

This offer is only applicable to Privilege Club Members main members. Booking period: Double Qmiles : 9th January – 18th January 2017. Booking period: Quadruple Qmiles in Premium Class and Triple Qmiles in Economy Class: 10th January - 18th January 2017 for online booking only. Flights must be taken between 11th January 2017 and 15th December 2017

Interestingly the subject line on many of the promotional mails I've had identifies me as a leaver - probably because I defected to MPC and book through OTAs in the main.

Mine identify me as a "potential executive". Curious title.

As below - potential executive sounds a better prospect than leaver! PITA would be amusing.
