I recently flew KUL to FRA via DOH. The KUL to DOH was booked through Qatar and flown by MH. I know an article was written a while ago about QF slashing points flown on a MH aircraft, but I was not awarded any FF or status points and my statement quoted “ineligible flight”. When did this start happening and has anyone else come across this?
 
Thanks for this, but I’m not going to bother as the table you sent me, earns no points for business travel.

Surprised this is possible - what fare class did it book into? Was it an outright business booking or an upgrade?

Every booking class shown on the Qatar website also appears as eligible in the Qantas earn categories table.

And the QR/MH codeshares on KUL-DOH only show business inventory in those same JCDIRP.

Hi
I booked business direct with Qatar. What is your suggestion? Can I challenge this?
Thanks for sharing this.

To answer that, "business direct with Qatar" does not provide enough information

We need to know the "Fare Bucket".

That is a single alphabetic character. For example, D.

Where would I find the fare bucket, it doesn’t appear on the app under my booking?
 
To confirm, you flew on a QR flight number such as QR4990 or QR4992 and your ticket does not show a MH flight number?

If this is the case, then Qantas denying you points is in error. You should've earned 4,250 Points and 100 SCs.

Best way to resolve this is to email [email protected] with a copy of your ticket (showing "R" fare class) and boarding pass (which may or may not also show "R" fare class) noting that "R" is an eligible fare class for Qatar Airways on QFF.
