Best use for expiring QMiles
Hello, have all my QMiles expiring in June and am wondering if the collective hive mind of FT can advise of a business class redemption available for booking for somewhere (other than just Doha) from UK or anywhere in the EU at the moment for anytime this year for just shy of 140K QMiles ?
Thanks in advance :-) |
If not, anyone have any good options for using the points ? Could always convert 100K into All Accor points I think.
|
I converted mine to Accor; it was too much hassle to have to look for availability, look for pricing, then to submit online form to book, etc etc. Made worse by the fact that the redemption rates are very expensive to begin with.

Redemption on partners are cheaper.

Thanks in advance :-) if the available destinations don’t suit your fancy (or the availability is not good) wait for the next round of easy deals |

I highly suggest you look into easydeals, I booked quite a few under the current promo and made them quite reasonable value!

As many have commented before - use them with Easydeals where you can effectively have double Qmiles (279,418) to use , assuming you get 50% on all you redemptions

Anyone know when the next lot of easy deal destinations will be released ? As of today still says "Book by Jan 31st" :-(

Best use for 81k expiring QMiles
I have ~81k QMiles that are expiring on June 30.
I don’t usually credit flights to QRPC, so I’m not familiar with the program. The miles have been sitting in the account since a 5x QMiles offer a couple years ago and all I know is that there was a massive devaluation in 2018 or so. Are there any sweet spots left? Is there a way to keep the miles from expiring, except paying a ridiculous amount of money? Thanks in advance! |
QR used to run their EasyDeals (https://www.qatarairways.com/en/Priv...Easydeals.html) where the required miles were roughly on par what you paid pre-devaluation. However currently there are none (page tells to book by end/January). You can check in the qcalculator the number of miles required for award travel or upgrade for any route but i'm not sure if these days there are routes where the required miles are 1x (ie. the number shown in qcalculator) rather than 2x (twice that) if there is availability at all. Apart from that you can see if you can agree a trade in the coupon connection thread.
As for miles not expiring that's only possible for Platinum members as far as i know. |
