Just received a new message from Qatar Airways. Is it just me or does it look like the additional offers they mentioned were not mentioned in their first email?
The 3x Bonus Qpoints is particularly useful for those who want to retain Platinum/ Oneworld Emerald status.
Found several decent offers out of ARN to HKG or MNL for less than 1600 Euros netting around 120x3 = 360 Qpoints
Any direct routes or Open Jaw caught your attention in Biz?
Thetember 2020 or at least 24 hours prior to travel, whichever is earlier.

My bad. It is indeed targeted as shown in a tab called "Bonus Qpoints offer terms and conditions" "● This offer is applicable to Privilege Club main Members who receive an email communication."
Note that I have not flown a single time with Qatar over the past 11 months (preferring instead Finnair or JAL and Cathay who provide far better Emerald tier recognitions)

Unless there are other multi-city/complex routes exclusively on Qatar that I am not aware of...

As mentioned by @meelosh, it looks like the BEG-HKG route offers the best value for money in terms of QPoints earned (around € 1100 for a return)

Even if I have good memory from my last Air Serbia flight (on an AT43!), it's definitely not an easy city to position in.
I am just going to book a couple of economy tickets from CDG/BRU/AMS. That's going to be cheaper once all the costs are considered.
Also thinking to book a return flight from Australia to Europe for EUR750ish, that would already give me 258 QPoints.

Why do you guys care so much about the QPoints? If you have a chance to be in Europe, just use BA's Executive Club, fly 4 segments with BA (codeshares allowed) or IB (codeshares not allowed) + one return longhaul flight with QR (such as OSL-BKK RT) and you're already Oneworld Sapphire.
I don't really see the point with having Emerald, but if you want that, just throw in some more QR flights. That's probably more worthwhile than crediting to QRPC...

I need to fly out to MNL (or anywhere nearish, ie HKG) in October, and back to London from Bangkok (or anywhere nearish) in Feb. ExEU either side fine
This forum has been so helpful, so this is in hope as much as anything, can anyone think of any combination that will give me a cheap return? Obviously this is outside of the sale max time limits. So far the best is BEG-HKG/BKK-OSL which comes in at £1240.
Thx

With this promotion, I only need 1 QR business/3 QR economy long haul flights to be Gold (i.e. OW Sapphire). Pretty decent.

Emerald is undeniably very valuable if either your home base or the airports you travel to frequently have separate first class facilities (e.g. HKG, LHR/LGW, HND/NRT, SYD/MEL, etc.). Whether Platinum has any value above obtaining Emerald status through another Oneworld airline is a separate question!
