Here's a link to the offer page and t&cs
https://www.qatarairways.com/en/Priv...and-conditions
Basically if your current tier expiry date is 1 Jan to 31 Mar 23, you need to have earned 400 qpoints during the 12 months before expiry to renew platinum, 200 for gold and 100 for silver. Totals are double these for 24 months before expiry during this offer period. Tier upgrade thresholds are unchanged from normal (ie. 600 for gold to platinum)
Buying qpoints is now USD15 each instead of USD25 each during the offer period. Book by 31 Mar and travel by 30 Jun to get the double qpoints. Applies to new bookings only, not existing tix.

Now what can I do about this offer. A couple weeks ago I bought my tickets. Can I cancel them, get a refund and start all over again. This would bump me up enough to another tier now instead of taking another year to do that.

I got excited for a little while... I have a trip planned for July and I've cancelled it and re-booked (saved me ~$100) but alas the double QPoints are only for trips that end by 30 June. I have another trip planned for April but I've upgraded one segment and if I cancel and rebook I lose the UG and the Avios I've paid. :-(

Regarding the start date of 08 January, on that date I noticed, in quite small print, on the Q Calculator on my PC page, the reduced re-qualification criteria. My current status had been extended to 31 March 2023, so I queried this with PC on 08 January and they confirmed that the reduced Q Point requirement was correct. As I have an upcoming itinerary which will now, considering the reduced criteria, yield more then enough Q Points for me to retain my current PC status I will now be crediting the points and Avios to my PC account, rather than that of another OW carrier.
