I had a similiar question/issue......
I flew Business Class 3 times to Philippines and each time I received a different number of miles. Every other airline I use (which is several) give you the actual mileage, sometimes with some bonus miles but they start from the actual mileage. Qatar Airways apparently have found different routes to take on direct flights as the mileage was different these 3 trips.
They claim that it is by "Class" of booking. But all three were business class - no other options to take. They never could answer why and I was basically told - "That's just the way it is!". Of course this is very good for Qatar Airways as they can award however many miles they want and you cannot tell if they are cheating you or not. On the other airlines I use I know exactly how many miles I will receive prior to even booking the flight, because their system is structured and understandable.
It seems that so many things in Qatar are done in a "different" way.
