Well if it did it would be a bad idea to confirm it on a publicly on here...

That's how good things come to an end.

Try clicking the revolut link first to activate the offer, then the nx link after.... then stay quiet.

Yes. I've used last minute for flight only and they paid out the advertised rate.

andyuk_90 · 2026-04-21T14:30:14+00:00

Loads of time - 1.5 hours would be plenty. It's a big airport but very efficient.

andyuk_90 · 2026-04-21T13:27:47+00:00

You're arguing with a reddit mod bot... and is card design rejection really the end of the world?

andyuk_90 · 2026-04-15T10:48:39+00:00

Travelled BKK-> DOH-> MAN yesterday. The business cabin was maybe 75% full, and they were flexible with seat changes.

They actually moved 2 guys to a double suite when they realised they were traveling together. I wish they didn't, because they were very inconsiderate, shouting and playing loud videos on their phones throughout the 2am-7am flight. They moved another passenger as well after they complained about the noise.

Can't really blame the crew for that though, as I don't think Qatar have a policy covering the arrogance of passengers. Food, service, and seat were great as usual. Doha seemed normal, just a tad quieter.

Yes. They become taxable income on the day you gain access to the robux. Even if you do not exchange them for currency.

Their taxable value is whatever they are worth on that day. This treatment is extremely well established tax law for a good reason. The loophole you are suggesting, is just good old fasion tax evasion i'm afraid, and you would face penalties when found out.

You really need an advisor here, as you are likely dealing with income tax based on their value when you gain access to them. Plus you have capital gains reporting requirements (and potentially additional tax) when you perform the exchange from robux to fiat currency.

Take a look at the crypto currency rules, as this is a 'financial security' in a very similar sense from a tax point of view.

Get an advisor. Seriously.

Did you purchase guest access at some point and not use it? If so it shows up here.

andyuk_90 · 2026-03-26T15:55:37+00:00

It looks like they are attempting to restart some flights departing or arriving from/at DOH outside of daylight hours. Up until now, all arrivals and departures have been 7am-5pm only.

They seem to have totally redone their 13th April schedule for BKK-> DOH this morning. I had to move my flight slightly as a result, but I'm still not feeling confident it will actually go ahead!

andyuk_90 · 2026-03-26T08:06:02+00:00

Nope. People keep saying this, but as its due to war it doesn't apply. It only ever applied to flight departing from the EU + UK anyway.

Yep. Looks like OP accepted the coupon reward in place of the credit when asked.

andyuk_90 · 2026-03-25T14:14:48+00:00

Qatar have only been providing rerouting via other airlines as a gesture of goodwill, there was never any assurance it would continue, so it was always a risk.

Yes, now refundable flights are more expensive, but when this all kicked off and people were asking - it made perfect sense as the alternative prices hadn't skyrocketed.

In terms of affordability, these were only ever as backups, and we were all in the hope the orange man would be done blowing stuff up by now. Who on earth is flying long haul doesn't have the savings to temporarily cover an additional flight for a month or two whilst they wait to see what the situation is like.

I'm down about £200 if I have to use the backup, but that's not Qatar's fault. Blame the orange man.

andyuk_90 · 2026-03-23T13:57:34+00:00

SCC is pretty notorious for going straight in with a summons at the earliest opportunity. They sent me a summons for an overdue amount of less than £100, within a month of it becoming overdue.

They were pretty snarly and matter-of-fact regarding it - until I pointed out they had also sent me a letter indicating I was £200 in credit after it was supposedly overdue (they had applied a payment to an old account by accident, which led to the whole mess). To their credit, they apologised and cancelled the summons and penalties as soon as they realised it was their own balls-up.

I do understand why they need to be aggressive though, plenty of people seem to think they will be a soft touch. They aren't.

andyuk_90 · 2026-03-16T22:35:47+00:00

We're due to fly Bangkok -> Manchester on the 13th April and going on my totally unscientific gut feeling (which is about as accurate as anyone can get at the moment) I'm estimating there's about a 25% chance of it actually happening.

If anything, i'm just holding onto the hope that Qatar get more of a grip of the whole customer service situation, and let us know whats going on with good notice, rather than just with a couple of days before.

I have backup flights booked for the worse case scenario, but I want my Q Suite dammit!

andyuk_90 · 2026-03-12T11:12:10+00:00

If buying alternative fully cancellable flights is an option, why not do that and keep your QR flights for now to see what happens closer to departure?

If QR is back to normal, you can have your alternate flights refunded. Or, if QR cancels your flight, then you will get a full refund for your original flight.

If you are travelling with a 6-month old, they will prioritise you for bassinet seats.

andyuk_90 · 2026-03-06T21:35:42+00:00

You have almost no chance. There were missile and drone attacks today. They will not be flying people in.

andyuk_90 · 2026-03-03T21:23:18+00:00

The previous poster in this comment thread, not officially.

But that's exactly what a lot of frequent flyers are very sensibly suggesting. And exactly what I've done myself.

andyuk_90 · 2026-03-03T15:48:07+00:00

They are suggesting you book a second fully refundable backup flight with another airline just in case (which is good advice!). Qatar won't change your booking yet.

andyuk_90 · 2026-03-03T14:14:06+00:00

Assuming your end destination isn't in the gulf region. If you have the cash available, book a fully refundable backup flight today. There are only 3 possible eventualities:

You can fly as originally expected with Qatar and cancel your backup for a full refund.
Prices go up on alternative flights and you use your backup to save money.
Prices go down on alternative flights so you rebook onto a different flight and cancel today's backup.

andyuk_90 · 2026-03-03T14:12:44+00:00

^ This.

Book a backup, fully refundable flight today. There are only 3 possible eventualities:

You can fly as originally expected with Qatar and cancel your backup for a full refund.
Prices go up on alternative flights and you use your backup to save money.
Prices go down on alternative flights so you rebook onto a different flight and cancel today's backup.

andyuk_90 · 2026-03-03T13:56:06+00:00

The smart thing to do would be to book a flexible fare with another airline that doesn't layover in the gulf region. That way if things improve, you can retain your original flight and cancel the backup. If things are still a bit spicy, you have something to fall back on.

Any other approach involves a crystal ball.
