Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

email received, if you wanted to buy Qpoints to keep status, I didnt click thru to find out. But looks like i will have a soft fall to Gold.

The full 540 points would cost about $13k even with the 40% off.
I will get a soft fall to Gold aswell but doubt I have much use for it

same, will have QF SG,
But i do wonder if QR Golds have any more access to rewards seats?

I have 2 x J FRA-DOH-BNE rewards in June, and hoping to book further award seats for 2025.
 
I got that too and did the calculations and went yeah nup
 
Good news on this, MrsMac has dropped to gold, and I expect I will be the same.
Bad news is that I can’t login and check my account as the OTP is not being sent. Anyone else experienced or experiencing the same?
 
I was able to log in with no problems.
Downgraded to Gold with 40 QCredits loaded and 4 lounge passes showing in my account.

Those 40 QCredits are good for an upgrade from Economy to Business from Australia to Doha. That’s mighty generous of Qatar Airways to soft-downgrade us without meeting the qualification criteria (from free Platinum status matched) and add 40 QCredits to our accounts.

I was downgraded to Burgundy from gold despite buying 1 Qpoint. Is this what happened to others?

Thanks
 
I went from platinum to gold purchasing 1 Qpoint, with the 40 Credits and 4 Lounge passes also (it wouldn’t let me buy avios so happy with that)

Check your email. I had an issue a few days ago where my OTP wasn’t being sent by text but arrived as an email still.

Same here, I can't login to check. Tried logging in via both the app and browser and I am not receiving the OTP via SMS to my phone. I've received OTPs before to my phone so I know my number is definitely correct on their system.

I didn't get a phone OTP but email fine. As expected Platinum dropped to Gold with 40 upgrade points. I had previously credited one flight to QR

Same. OTP going to email fine. Have a flight with QR AUH-DOH in F next week and then DOH-ADL in J a few days later so Platinum would have been handy for another week but can’t complain
