Booked AA award ticket in J on QR. I don't think I could use this program for a paid/discounted hotel right?

two eyelids were batted when i checked in with two people on a one pax reservation at Souq Al Wakra Hotel in Dez.
He showed me the reservation was only for one .. (while at booking, the price was certainly the same for single or double occupancy)
nevertheless I used my most innocent smile and explained I must have an honest mistake.
He smiled and checked us in.
so, be careful out there from now on ....

Checking in is not the issue.. when QR validate the booking and check it against the e-ticket the booking will likely then be cancelled.

Sorry to be a pest with the questions, but I make the reservation less than a week before my intended stay, any chance it will not be validated?

Correct - I was able to book on an AA award ticket in the past but the reservation I made last week was canceled and I received an email from QR that the booking was canceled.

I have a J redemption booked using QF points.
On the manage my booking page of QR, it invited me to book a stop over hotel.
I was able to complete the booking for QAR104 even though my ticket does not start with 157....
Has anyone had success with this I am wondering?

Hey all,
Traveling mid-March. Party of 3 pax in J, with a 17 hour layover from 14:40 - 8:00 (the next day). Planning to book at the Marriott Marquis hotel, in part because of its apparent near location to the metro.
Just have a couple of questions:
1. The FAQ states that the room "can only fit two adults and one child. If passengers arrive with an additional adult, they can request an extra bed for a fee." Since we will be 3 people, would it make sense to book one room + extra bed, or simply just book 2 rooms?
2. We'll primarily use the metro to go around the main sights. Are there other 5 star-rated Stopover hotels easily accessible by the metro?
Thanks all.

You sneezed and you lose. Well not actually but I wait to book my stopover hotel at Westin but now it is not available on my date.
Will it come back to inventory again? Look like the hotel still has basic room available.
On a side, have people gotten stay credit for Marriott's Bonvoy for the stopover stay before?

I booked with QR from ARN to SYD and was issued a ticket with a 157 ticket number last summer for travel this Feb, once they started to offer the cheap stopover deals again last Dec, I booked the Marriot Marquis hotel for a 1 night stay, using my 157 ticket number.
With all the bush fires ect going on in Australia, I decided to change my plans and am now going to Thailand, I called QR to change my ticket which they did without any issues.
I have just noticed that I have a new 157 ticket number.
So my questions are, will I still be able to check in to the Marriot on my booked day or is there a chance the booking will be canceled? and will I be able to book another hotel on my return with my new ticket number?
