Virgin no tier or points

[Fourdents]

Looking for flights out this coming week ....yes, I can get a seat but each flight I tried on different days said this flight does not give tier points or air miles

Why ?

anyone got any idea why ?

The seats might be in the sale in which case you do not get points

[E. Cosgrove]

If you book one try giving your card in at check in anyway, we have had them add points that we shouldn't have qualified for in the past!![msnoo]

[Stephen and Pam]

We where told it is always worth giving your card over as the person at the desk is normally on auto pilot and just puts them through anyway[msnsmile]

If the flights are in N class they dont at present qualify but from 1st March you get 50% of the miles + 1 tier point, downside is its going up from 40,000 to 50,000 to get a free fligth to Orlando or Los Angeles.

Don't know if it's the online check in snookered it but when my daughter flew to Boston at Christmas her outward flight qualified but not return and even though she handed over card at checkin on return the flight still appeared on her statement as non qualifying.

The annoying thing was we didnt realise till the flight was booked and checked what it would be for a qualifying flight coming back and it was only £25 dearer BUT £100 admin to change it so it wasn't worth it on a £299 ticket.

I really wish Virgin would sort things in a way that is easy to understand I think you have to have a Degree in Complications to understand N's Y's etc. etc. etc.

Anyone on here ever tried to simplify stuff for us novice flyers ?

I booked my flight for April using miles and money now to find that I don't get points etc. and I could have had a Sale price for £25 cheaper !

Discounted First Class (not used by Virgin Atlantic) Virgin Atlantic does not operate a First Class cabin, instead it operates Upper Class as a J-Class (Premium Business) for its top tier of travel.

Discounted Economy Flying Club Miles and Tier Points will be earned on this fare. 125% of mileage flown earned (150% for Flying Club Gold members). 2nd highest level of fare class for Economy, very flexible in regards to changes/cancellation. Refunds are available on this fare class but typically not 100% full refund. This fare class is also one of the qualifying fare classes for Economy for the MilesMoreFriends promotion, so if the person you refer flies on a ticket booked in this class you will earn the 3,000 mile referral bonus. Eligible economy fare class for utilisation of: Upgrades – from economy to Premium Economy for 10,000 miles each sector or from Economy to Upper Class for 30,000 miles per sector. Note there must be availability in U Class for a Premium Economy Upgrade or G Class for an Upper Class Upgrade. Companion - Flying Club Economy Mileage Redemption Companion award for 20,000 miles, Complimentary Flying Club Companion award for renewing Gold Status or Complimentary Virgin Credit Card Companion ticket award for reaching the spend threshold in the 12 month designated period. Note there must be availability in T class for the companion seat. Note: If you utilise the revenue fare for a companion reward, you can then also upgrade that revenue fare to a higher class but not the reward seat. So person X buys the B class revenue fare, and gets a companion reward for person Y (booked in T class), person A can then use miles to upgrade to Premium Economy (booked in U class) but person B cannot use miles to upgrade.
