oneworld alliance to celebrate Qatar Airways entrance with double miles

oneworld posted two new press releases on their website on the subject of Qatar Airways officially joining the alliance as of Midnight tonight! We haven’t come across any of the offers on the individual airlines websites but assume they will be out shortly and some if not most of them will require registration. So be sure to keep checking back here on FFB for each of those airlines’ offers! We do know from the press release the Qatar Airways Privilege Club members do have to register.

Here is an excerpt from oneworld’s release on the double miles:

Members of Qatar Airways’ Privilege Club loyalty programme will receive
double Qmiles rewards when flying between 15 November 2013 and 31
January 2014 (until 24 January 2014 for Cathay Pacific),  apart from
during the holiday peak (20 December 2013 to 5 January 2014), on the
airline’s new oneworld
partners – airberlin, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay
Pacific Airways, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN, Malaysia
Airlines, Qantas, Royal Jordanian, S7 Airlines and around 30 of their
affiliated airlines, provided they register first by logging into their
account at qmiles.com

Similarly, members of existing oneworld
airlines’ loyalty programmes will receive double mileage awards when
flying on Qatar Airways between 15 November 2013 and 31 January 2014
(until 24 January 2014 for Cathay Pacific’s The Marco Polo Club
cardholders) – apart from during the holiday peak (20 December 2013 to 5
January 2014).  For further details, see member airlines’ websites.
