I had 40 QCredits expiring in the month of June, so I decided it would be the best to put them into use. I was flying KWI-DOH-BOS, and realized that the DOH-BOS sector costed 39 QCredits. Booked an eight hour layover in Doha to maximize the chances for my upgrade. I eventually got the seat lol. Got reseated from 42A to 1A 😎

There were two possible combinations from KWI-BOS, one with a one hour layover, and the other with an eight hour layover. I realized that having an eight hour layover would be a safe bet because, by landing earlier in DOH, I assumed that I might be able to snag the last remaining available seat in J class. KWI Station cannot process upgrades onwards from DOH, so I can't really rely on them. Fortunately, it worked for me. If the seat had been blocked, that would've ended up disastrous.

Can someone that has successfully used their Qcredits confirm the process of redemption? I have 80 Qcredits and 40 of those expire this month. Im thinking of booking an Economy class seat from IAD to DOH, and want to use my Qcredits to upgrade to Qsuites. I dont want to book economy and then get stuck in Economy with no way of upgrading.
THanks!

I have tried this strategy several times and has not worked for me in using a credits or miles to upgrade my fights . Each time I tried on line said error and despite me contacting gold help line was refused upgrade as there was no availability despite the on line availability checker saying there’s was . Had to rely on gamble of update at check in - which on all occasions was granted YMMV
