Using Dividend miles on Qatar airways from US to India
I just got off the phone with the agent on phone, and she indicated that Qatar doesnt allow to book using Dividend miles routing through DOHA. Anyone ran into this issue ?

What's "DOHA"? BTW, Qatar is not in the Star Alliance, so booking with Dividend Miles is not possible.

When US announced their partnership years ago with Qatar, they had a window of about 3 weeks IIRC where you could actually book Qatar flights using Dividend Miles. Something went wrong and they had to "temporarily" suspend the program
That being said, QR is still a partner and you can definitely earn US DM (non Preferred unfortunately). I recently flew ORD-DOH-HYD and back and the miles credited to my US account without any issues.
All signs point to QR joining OneWorld ... so in a matter of time this "temporary" suspension will likely resolve itself once US is folded into AA (and therefore OneWorld).
