Didn't earn points and SC on VA Reward flights

[Bunnyman]

Hi there,

The November Coles Status Credits post has inspired me to write this one. So I flew Hba to Syd 22-Nov and Syd to Mel 24-Nov - didn't earn points and SC on VA Economy Reward flights. I'm assuming VA Reward flights don't earn these? Anyone else facing this same issue? I have VA Business Reward trip coming up soon so worried about that.

Tried lodging a Missing Points Claim but it said "Sorry contact Virgin Contact Centre"

You don’t get SC’s or points on a reward flight, it’s pretty clear on the T&C’s

Only revenue tickets are eligible to earn SCs on travel and reward tickets are not given any SCs or miles , if that makes sense.

All good guys. That's a bummer. I had a QF Reward flight SC tracked last month so thought maybe even VA do so.

Qantas award status credits only to Points Club members. Velocity does not have anything equivalent,

Dunno if I should write another post or ask here as its slightly related.

Planning another trip next year: Hba-mel-sin-bom business class reward one way
First flight's VA then onwards SQ - to be booked on Virgin's website. As both have a reciprocal agreement, will I earn any VA/KF miles or SCs or nil for this too?

No points earn on reward seats at all.

No points earn on reward seats at all.

Except for a limited time earlier this year:

Earn SC on Reward Travel (now until July) & Bonus SC Revenue until June 2022

They are also offering bonus status credits on reward seats and bookings up to March 2022.
