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:
