Last year I made a J booking from MEL-BCN-DOH-MEL with a 1 week stopover in Qatar on the way back. Once in Qatar, I needed to fly to Saudi for business so spoke to an agent about changing my DOH-MEL flight. She said rather than me having to keep changing the date, she would make it an open...

Just flew Qatar Business last night as a platinum (OW Emerald) and there was no Qantas Lounge access available. I should have access to QF First lounge at MEL but it was closed as was the business lounge, even though there was an emirates flight with a QF flight number departing at the same...

I’m flying Qatar business next week as a Qatar Platinum member. Will let you know how I go 🤞

Qatar's website says you can use Qmiles or Qcredits to upgrade a guest. Not sure if that means they have to be on the same flight at you or not. Also found this page for the best uses of Qcredits. Seems Qatar is a bit tricky about the number required for redemption, always leaving you with spare...

I found this site that has a bit of info regarding Privilege Club Gold and Platinum for anyone that's a little confused about QCredits and lounge access in Doha https://www.qatarluxurytravel.com/post/privilege-club-gold-and-platinumPrivilege Club Gold and Platinum

FYI - my wife also just got approved even though she applied after the closure date for velocity members

My wife is still waiting, she applied after it was closed for Velocity members though. She's received a reference number to say it's being processed though.

Scrap that, just received my confirmation now. Looks like they're still working through them!

Still waiting. Submitted originally on the 18th received my service request number on the 2nd and then nothing. Followed up through the service centre 2 days ago, request is still sitting as ‘new’

I’m currently based in Doha and on Monday was able to change my business class flights at Christmas from Doha-Kathmandu to Doha-Zurich no problems. I think the cheapest business class flights at the moment are Sydney-Rome early December and then you can change your dates, your departure to...

I didn’t receive the status match yet. I’m currently Platinum velocity but also Silver with Qatar already due to some business in Doha. Anyone else not receive it?

You can create your own service request on the app and they will let you know if they received it

Sounds like there is a lack of consistency. I received my confirmation of service request but I’d only submitted the pdf screenshot from the my velocity page. Anyway, as long as we platinum matched I don’t mind. I booked business class tickets to Switzerland this morning For Christmas in...

That’s brilliant news if they’re matching platinum for platinum

I think this is a good sign that they will match most people. By this stage they know how many people are applying and are still keeping it going. They are really just looking for ways to keep business coming in without cheapening their product, same with their 5000 mile rebooking policy, they...
