Yes really annoying, I used to be able to always go PER-FRA or return and upgrade for both sectors now DOH-FRA is 28 Credits used to be 24 and PER-DOH is 39 credits use to be 36 credits.this makes my 60 credits pretty worthless as I have a lazy 21 credits always left over which expire as was the case last year.Just made a booking DOH-CMB thinking I could utilize my Q credits for one leg upgrade but negative DOH-CMB is now 24Qcredits so looks like another 21 Q credits to the bin.Uggghhh

PS: I would not consider a "free" upgrade to business DOH-PER or PER-DOH 11h flight in A380 as "pretty useless" even if 21 Qcredits are left usseless.

Exactly don't want to lose A380 free upgrade, 6 hrs to Europe is fine.I always travel this route x4 per year and make flights to SE Asia on MH and CX and NZ on QF.Just really annoying having the ability to do this before. Goodbye 21 Q credits again

This could be the place to post this query: I will re-qualify for PC Gold next month. My existing Gold status runs through August. I have 40 QCredits that I might not be able to use by August.
Question: If I re-qualify in April for Gold, will I get the next 40 QCredits then, giving me a balance of 80 to use? Or will PC only give me my next 40 after my existing status runs out?
Simply not clear when I read the T&Cs.

No
I can only use them to upgrade another person flight if my remaining 14 Qcredits are enough for that flight (it’s not possible to combine multiple sources of Qcredits for upgrading a single flight, but it’s possible to use different sources of Qmiles for upgrading different flights on one ticket).

If my qcredits expire in December 2019, can I book a flight for February 2020 and use them to upgrade that flight? Or is the expiration date linked to the date of the flight rather than the date they are being applied to a future reservation?

Yes, I've done it a few times. All that matters is that you use up the Qcredits before they expire. It doesn't matter when the flight is. However, after the expiry date of the Qcredits you will not be able to get them back if you cancel the original ticket.

once you manage to spend your Qcredits, QR will treat you like crap because you are now holding an upgraded ticket
surely many people have made this complaint before me about not being allowed access to Al Mourjan and getting shunted off to the inferior 1st Class lounge
it is OK, the world economy is decelerating and QR will get theirs
I will fly QR metal just enough to keep my status and then I will fly whatever airline I get the best / cheapest J class on
how is it Cathay gives me access to The Wing Lounge holding their cheapest Economy ticket as OW Emerald and QR stiffs me?
