To be honest I couldn’t at all understand this offer… it prompts you to click and sign into your QRPC account… then doesn’t provide any explanation of which route and class specifically offers 60% discount.
Seems to be click bait simply to remind that you CAN redeem your Avios for partner flights and it may be UP TO 60% lesser than QR routes without mentioning how to piece together the routes and the corresponding surcharge and fees that entail.
Totally useless communication as far as I’m concerned.

I called the call centre and they are not aware of this offer either.
LHR-TYO QR Business is 160k avios + taxes (this is the standard rate)
Using their partner airlines form, the JAL direct flights are 185k + taxes.
Doesn't sound like a deal to me.
Could it be referring to this mistakenly?

I've weighed some similar options in the past and concluded that cash would get me further than the Avios would. Using Avios for flights/upgrades also relies on award availability, so you may or may not be able to use them for what you want. YMMV, of course.

I reached the same conclusion after calculating the cost to buy Avios vs flight tickets directly (the latter also earns Avios and QPoints).

I'm in two minds about this. I've used up all my Avios so I'm really starting from scratch.
To get a VIE-BKK round-trip in J, I'd need 142,500 Avios. With this promotion, I could buy 144,000 for EUR 1,710. With charges, that would be RT in J for EUR 2,095. Current revenue tickets (for a 5 or 6-month return) are ridiculous (about EUR 4,500), and I get quite good (free) flexibility with an Avios booking, and there is availability for the dates I am looking at.
Hmm ... like buying futures. I suspect (hope?) QR cash fares are going to fall soon ....
