Qatar partnership with Accor + status fast-track

[jase05]

I have done this last week after unliking my Qantas account.
I received an email confirming the QR Gold membership when the flight landed at the destination and bonus Avios for the new QR member.

Nice. Good to know it was a quick resolution. I’ve got a few transits through DOH planned this year and the QR Platinum wil come in handy for AS lounge access and I can dump BAEC and move over to QR Privilege club

Just got matched to PC Gold from my Accor Plat from this year’s limited intake. It happened only a couple of days after I flew the required QR flight.

Now to build on that to reach Plat, and I can dump Qantas (just qualified for Plat in QFF, so it’ll be a soft transition).

Don’t forget that Australian domestic flights don’t earn for QRPC but you would probably fly enough OW flights to qualify as Platinum anyway

I didn’t realise that, thanks. I guess I’ll use my stash of the DSC’s to maintain Qantas Plat as well.

They earn if they are ticketed in conjunction with an International flight but for stand alone domestic flights you get absolutely nothing if you fly QF.
If you fly VA you earn Avios but no QPoints

Both of which are quite odd.

QF FFs have been able to earn SCs flying standalone domestic flights in the US since OW began (including the heady days of YUPPs into AA F). All long before the QF/AA partnership. And for sometime now on AS domestic flights (with some cheap whY fare exclusions).

AFAIK, AA/AS (and most other OW FF programs earn something on QF domestic?
