Sadly, status credits can no longer be earned on redemptions. I am wondering if the earn was based on the booking date, rather than the travel date, as I had 2 redemption flights in July which earned status credits for my own, and the family pool segments.
A flight taken on 3Aug says " Not Valid for Earn". I guess that means the end of easy VA Plat.
Thanks for the update Richard.
Unfortunate that VA doesn't award the SC's, though at least be still have QF MASA... for the moment.
I'd agree that your previous bookings earned SC's as the bookings were probably made prior to the limited offer expiring.
I'm just about to sign up for my Centurion Emirates Gold... has anyone heard if Amex will have Emirates become a transfer partner for miles?
