I'm struggling to find any award availability in Business to the US for 2020 (Jan-Sept). I can't find any seats to Chicago, JFK, BOS, Washington DC. I've tried starting points in Doha, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur & Bangkok. Anyone being able to find availability? Thanks.

Usually in my experience if it’s showing reward availability as X 2 it’s unlikely an upgrade will be come available - if space available at check in you maybe able to secure upgrade then .
that said closer to the date of travel you may find the X2 availability becomes normal X1 which MAY open up upgrade seat.

In the end I was able to book IAD-DOH-SIN for 2pax in Qsuites for Oct 2020.

I would say yes. However, some CSOs have told me that the buckets are different for the two types, which I highly doubt. HUCA has worked in these situations.

I recently had the issue that on the QR website it did show availability to buy tickets with QMiles for the exact flights of my booking but on my booking itself, one of the flights was not selectable for an upgrade with QMiles or QCredits.
After writing the issue to QR via Contact Center with a printscreen of the availability they have been able to do the upgrade for me. Well after two days I didn't hear anything back so I contacted them via Twitter and some hours later it has been done. Not sure if the Twitter people had any role in it being solved but it seems to me that it helped to speed up the process a bit.
