Transfer bonus from Amex to Qatar Privilege Club

[levelnine]

do we think it makes it more attractive that transferring to Qatar allows access to BA reward setas

Not really. Carrier charges on BA flights are sky high. I guess the silver lining is that availability tends to be better, especially transatlantic, because no one wants to pay those crazy prices for a reward flight.

Not the crazy qf taxes though I booked. J Ist doh and f to syd and the taxes were $a1250 each but alas now no QR at all with QF asiamiles were the same taxes too

Transferred 450 000 Amex points to Qatar and managed to book 2 x first class tickets Sydney to Sharjah with a 6 hour layover in Doha. I purposely chose a longer layover to spend more time in the Al Safwa lounge

i was hoping to use the 20% bonus but only saw after my 1st transfer that the bonus will only hit my account 45 days after the promo ends.

Strangely, it was easier to find first class seats over business class

Has anyone figured any tricks to just search for saver awards ? American airlines shows me premium seat - including the 2x ones. Cant seem to find a way to refine it. Any tips ?
I can find a few first !!!! - but no J

 

[tinkybelle]

I never see J on QR. Only F

Has anyone actually received their 20% bonus points yet?

Not me

 

[spif8888]

Not yet - waiting for 45k points to land so i can book some more flights.

 

[Petec]

Yes, must have just arrived last day or two for me.

When did you do your transfer? Mine were 4/8 and 14/8 and still nothing.

 

[spif8888]

Around the 12th

I just had another look at the fine print. The bonus Avios will come through up to 45 days after the end of the bonus transfer period. The bonus transfer period ended on August 18, so 45 days after that is October 2.

I must admit that I'd thought it said that the points will come through 45 days after the actual date of the transfer itself, but it looks like I was wrong about that.

 

[Petec]

I just noticed that the transfer bonus came through for me today.

 

[spif8888]

Me too - my bonus points arrived overnight

 

[fkcn]

And me!
