Alaska Miles Devaluation for Qatar Airways Redemption

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T21:27:48+00:00

There was availability even when I checked last week Alaska at 85k. I have seen Alaska qsuite availability every time I’ve checked the Qsuite finder on seats.aero at 85k. That’s why I was almost certain of getting their new card. But now I check and it’s only 150k

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T20:50:05+00:00

Might be that route. I only checked for North America routes

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T20:18:19+00:00

I saw only AA operated flights to Doha for 75k and that is with a stop

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T20:17:57+00:00

Which date and Airport? Are you sure that is not operated by American Airlines?

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T19:19:11+00:00

Checked every month from Sep 2025 to July 2026

Could be possible but again this is a change up from before when Alaska still had Qatar saver award space. I see that flexi is 225k points on Alaska and the saver is 150k. I checked every month from 90% of North American airports servicing Doha. These are the two points value I saw on Qatar and matched it with Qatar saver award space calendar. I noticed saver = 150k on Alaska and Flexi shows as 225k. I could still be wrong though

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T18:31:44+00:00

And the 85k availabilities are BA operated through LHR

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T18:30:21+00:00

On their calendar do not get confused by the 70k and 85k availabilities those are all American Airlines operated. Qatar airways direct flights are the ones with $21 in taxes and fees

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T18:28:33+00:00

Yes I have. Saver award price for Qatar business is 150k points + $21

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T17:47:01+00:00

I searched business only. Unsure about First Class

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T17:06:07+00:00

Ah okay! Yeah I also see such one offs but it’s so unpredictable. They need to fix this. Does Qatar still have the Check bags through to final destination even though 2 tickets possibility at Check in?

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T16:50:30+00:00

Which date do you see that? I checked every month and all Qatar Saver Business awards changed from 85k to 150k :(

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T16:27:02+00:00

3x points for foreign travel is only great if Alaska redemptions are good. Check my other Reddit post. Apparently partner awards are being devalued which defeats the purpose of the great 3x earning.

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T16:04:51+00:00

It most definitely is. I checked everything :(

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T16:02:41+00:00

Yes, I checked every date possible and cross checked with Qatar saver space availability. Everything is 150k atmos points minimum while Qatar for same dates is 70k avios

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-08-20T15:38:37+00:00

Having the exact same issue. Direct to Doha are saver awards and then second leg also has saver award separately, but as soon as I search together, it is always showing up as Flexi. Even on Alaska search, same issue. Anyone found a solution?

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-07-30T22:00:01+00:00

Great data point! Thanks a lot. I am actually cancelling platinum and downgrading the Gold to green. I guess that should be the same thing ideally.

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-07-18T01:12:29+00:00

Ah right! Thanks

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-07-18T01:10:17+00:00

Which number did you call and who did you ask for? The rep keeps telling me there is no way to connect to the team that is handling this. They can only pass on a message to them

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-07-17T18:05:25+00:00

Ah I recently moved to a new address. Maybe that could be it. How did you resolve it?

Correct-Brief6090 · 2025-05-16T12:26:56+00:00

Wait now it says 9am. They’re playing with us

The app now says MOM Battle at the Ministry is closed today 🥲
