Last year I have silver card for the frequent flyer program of QA. But this year I was downgraded to burgandy due to short of the points that was needed to maintain the silver card.

It is very unfortunate not only me but for many others having the same situation. In other airlines, I remember with Emirates Skywards they give you 2 years in this class and remind you all the time when you are due for some important action.

But with QA you will just receive the notice and the renewed card, that's it. You are downgraded even with very little points needed to maintain it. There is also no option to maintain by milage swap or similar scheme.
